how to find which button has been clicked in app widgets in android?

android

Solution

know which button is clicked follow these Steps:

step 1: Register two reciver for btnNext and btnPrev

 <intent-filter >
 <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
 <action android:name="com.app.example.MyWidget.ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_NEXT"/>
 <action android:name="com.app.example.MyWidget.ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_PREV"/>
 </intent-filter>

step 2: for btnNext and btnPrev action strings:

public class MyWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {
public static String ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_NEXT = "Action_nextbtn";
public static String ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_PREV = "Action_prevbtn";
}

step 3: In onReceive

@Override
        public void onReceive(Context paramContext, Intent paramIntent)
        {
          String str = paramIntent.getAction();
            if (paramIntent.getAction().equals(ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_NEXT)) {
                updateWidgetState(paramContext, str);   
            }
            if (paramIntent.getAction().equals(ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_PREV)) {
                updateWidgetState(paramContext, str);   
            }
        }

step 4: Make a method for update widget states:

static void updateWidgetState(Context paramContext, String paramString)
          {
            RemoteViews localRemoteViews = buildUpdate(paramContext, paramString);
            ComponentName localComponentName = new ComponentName(paramContext, MyWidget.class);
            AppWidgetManager.getInstance(paramContext).updateAppWidget(localComponentName, localRemoteViews);
          }

Step 5:

private static RemoteViews buildUpdate(Context paramContext, String paramString)
          {

            rview = new RemoteViews(paramContext.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout);
            Intent activebtnnext = new Intent(paramContext, MyWidget.class);
            active.setAction(ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_NEXT);
            PendingIntent configPendingIntentnext = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(paramContext, 0, activebtnnext , 0);
            rmViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btnNext, configPendingIntentnext);

            Intent activeprevbtn = new Intent(paramContext, MyWidget.class);
            active.setAction(ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_PREV);
            PendingIntent configPendingIntentprev = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(paramContext, 0, activeprevbtn , 0);
            rmViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btnprev, configPendingIntentprev);
            if(parmString.equals(ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_NEXT))
            {

             //

            }  
            if(parmString.equals(ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_PREV))
            {

             //

            }           
             return rview; 
          }

How to know which button is clicked? here i register button click listener like this ``` public static class UpdateWidgetService extends IntentService { public UpdateWidgetService() { super("UpdateWidgetService"); } @Override protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) { AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager .getInstance(this); int incomingAppWidgetId = intent.getIntExtra(EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID); if (incomingAppWidgetId != INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) { updateOneAppWidget(appWidgetManager, incomingAppWidgetId); } } private void updateOneAppWidget(AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int appWidgetId) { DatabaseManager dbManager = new DatabaseManager(this); dbManager.open(); String contactNumber, date, status, message; ArrayList<QueuedMessage> listOfQuedMessage = (ArrayList<QueuedMessage>) dbManager .fetchContactNumber(); if (listOfQuedMessage.size() == 0) Log.i("Db", "null"); else{ date = dbManager.fetchDate(); message = dbManager.fetchMessage(); status = dbManager.fetchStatus(); dbManager.closeDatabase(); RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(this.getPackageName(), R.layout.schdulesms_appwidget_layout); views.setTextViewText(R.id.to_appwidget_saved_data, listOfQuedMessage.get(count).contacNumber); views.setTextViewText(R.id.date_appwidget_saved_data, date); views.setTextViewText(R.id.status_appwidget_saved, status); views.setTextViewText(R.id.message_appwidgset_saved_data, message); **//here i want do** if(button1){ btnNxtClick(views, appWidgetId,listOfQuedMessage.size()); }else{ btPrevClick(views, appWidgetId, listOfQuedMessage.size()); } appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views); } } private void btnNxtClick(RemoteViews views, int appWidgetId,int sizeOfList) { Intent btnNextIntent = new Intent(this, this.getClass()); btnNextIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId); PendingIntent btnNextPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, btnNextIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btnNext, btnNextPendingIntent); } private void btPrevClick(RemoteViews views, int appWidgetId,int sizeOfList) { Intent btnNextIntent = new Intent(this, this.getClass()); btnNextIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId); PendingIntent btnNextPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, btnNextIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btnPrev, btnNextPendingIntent); } } ``` can anyone help me out from this problem?? thanks
