Start activity by clicking on widget

android, android-activity, click, widget

Solution

Use this snippet in `onUpdate()` method of your widget `AppWidgetProvider` class:

@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
    RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widgetlayout);
    Intent configIntent = new Intent(context, Activity.class);

    PendingIntent configPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, configIntent, 0);

    remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget, configPendingIntent);
    appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, remoteViews);
}

Here `widgetlayout` is name of your widget layout and `R.id.widget` is it's parent layout id.

Edit: Now,I see your code that you added to your question.You would to do:

PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, configIntent, 0);

(that start's activity) instead of

PendingIntent.getService(...);

that attempt to starts service.Good luck.

Problem

I newbie at programming Android and I try to do a widget which has be able get some data from ISP about my account. There are a lot of unknown things how to do it, but I have did a few things - I've got a widget with configure activity, where user should type login and password. Widget stores the data in SharedPerferences, and when it's time to update widget I use a Service to start an AsyncTask to getting it from ISP an account data. Now I want to do start an activity by click on widget. I've tried all advice which I found on this site and widget can't start activity. My widget based on another widget which placed here https://github.com/Arturus/MetrikaWidget. I dont understand what and where I should change to start activity by clicking on my widget. Thanks. UPDATE: My update function, where I suggest I should place PendingIntent ``` @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { Log.d(TAG, "onUpdate"); for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) { updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId); } /* An updateAppWidget functions looks like as: Intent intent = new Intent(context, UpdateWidgetService.class); intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS, appWidgetIds); context.startService(intent); */ Intent intent = new Intent(context, DetailedStatActivity.class); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, intent, 0); RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.layout); views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.layout, pendingIntent); ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), WidgetProvider.class.getName()); appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(componentName, views); } ```
