POAndroid widget button custom dialog
text
Body
copied!<p>Is it possible to open a custom dialog from widget button? I created a widget with a button. With <a href="http://www.helloandroid.com/files/xmaswidget/android_howto-hellowidget.pdf" rel="nofollow">this</a> tutorial if i click ButtonP1 a toast msg appears. But i want a custom dialog to appear. There is also an intent example for the button in the tutorial but for my custom dialog it is not working, however if i want to open an activity with that it is working fine. I want a custom dialog to appear when user clicks on a button on the widget.</p> <p>Here is this code where Main.class is an activity:</p> <pre><code>public class HelloWidget extends AppWidgetProvider { public static String ACTION_WIDGET_CONFIGURE = "ConfigureWidget"; public static String ACTION_WIDGET_RECEIVER = "ActionReceiverWidget"; @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { context.startService(new Intent(context, UpdateService.class)); RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widgetmain); Intent configIntent = new Intent(context, Main.class); configIntent.setAction(ACTION_WIDGET_CONFIGURE); PendingIntent configPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, configIntent, 0); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.ButtonP1, configPendingIntent); appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, remoteViews); } </code></pre> <p>When i change Main.class to CustomizeDialog.class, nothing happens.</p> <p>The CustomizeDialog.java looks like this in a nutshell:</p> <pre><code>public class CustomizeDialog extends Dialog implements OnClickListener { Activity mActivity; public CustomizeDialog(Activity activity) { super(activity); mActivity = activity; ... } @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (v == okButton) { dismiss(); } if (v == cancelButton) { dismiss(); } } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit 06.21.2011</strong></p> <p>Thank to you guys, i was able to call an activity with framelayout which is almost what i wanted. However, I want to do this with a customdialog, but with the code i am using, it is not appearing when i click on the widget button:</p> <pre><code>Intent configIntent = new Intent(context, CustomizeDialog.class); configIntent.setAction(ACTION_WIDGET_CONFIGURE); PendingIntent configPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, REQUEST_CODE_THREE, configIntent, 0); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.ButtonP3, configPendingIntent); </code></pre> <p>If i change CustomizeDialog.class to Main.class, which is an activity, it is working fine.</p> <p>Please find CustomDialog.class's structure above.</p>
