copied!<p>The issue that I am having is I am trying to draw a custom font onto a widget(AppWidgetProvider). The issue now is that you cannot access ges tAssets() from and extension of AppWidgetProvider. Is there a way around this? Thanks!</p> <p><strong>* UPDATE *</strong> Here is what I have now after the feedback. The Widget doesn't display anything. what should my xml look like for this? Maybe that is where I'm going wrong now...</p> <pre><code>import java.text.DateFormat; import java.util.Date; import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider; import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Typeface; import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager; import android.widget.RemoteViews; import android.graphics.Bitmap; import android.graphics.BitmapFactory; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Color; import android.graphics.Paint; import android.graphics.Paint.Align; import android.graphics.Typeface; import android.widget.ImageView; public class ClockWidgetXProvider extends AppWidgetProvider { public Bitmap buildUpdate(String string, Context context) { Bitmap myBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(160, 84, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444); Canvas myCanvas = new Canvas(myBitmap); Paint paint = new Paint(); Typeface clock = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"Carre.ttf"); paint.setAntiAlias(true); paint.setSubpixelText(true); paint.setTypeface(clock); paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL); paint.setColor(Color.WHITE); paint.setTextSize(65); paint.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER); myCanvas.drawText(string, 80, 60, paint); return myBitmap; } @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { RemoteViews view = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.clockwidget); String currentDateTimeString = DateFormat.getTimeInstance().format(new Date()); view.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.time1, buildUpdate(currentDateTimeString, context)); appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, view); } } </code></pre>
