Is it possible to find out if the android widget is placed on lock screen or home screen?

android

Solution

Here are the relevant snippets from the documentation:

"You can detect whether your widget is on the keyguard (lockscreen) or home screen by calling `getAppWidgetOptions()` to get the widget's options as a Bundle.

The returned bundle will include the key `OPTION_APPWIDGET_HOST_CATEGORY`, whose value will be one of `WIDGET_CATEGORY_HOME_SCREEN` or `WIDGET_CATEGORY_KEYGUARD`. "

AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager;
int widgetId;
Bundle myOptions = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetOptions (widgetId);

// Get the value of OPTION_APPWIDGET_HOST_CATEGORY
int category = myOptions.getInt(AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_HOST_CATEGORY, -1);

// If the value is WIDGET_CATEGORY_KEYGUARD, it's a lockscreen widget
boolean isKeyguard = category == AppWidgetProviderInfo.WIDGET_CATEGORY_KEYGUARD;

"Once you know the widget's category, you can optionally load a different base layout, set different properties, and so on. For example:"

int baseLayout = isKeyguard ? R.layout.keyguard_widget_layout : R.layout.widget_layout;
