public RemoteViews (Map<SizeFRemoteViews> remoteViews)

Create a new RemoteViews object that will inflate the layout with the closest size specification. The default remote views in that case is always the one with the smallest area. If the RemoteViews host provides the size of the view, the layout with the largest area that fits entirely in the provided size will be used (i.e. the width and height of the layout must be less than the size of the view, with a 1dp margin to account for rounding). If no layout fits in the view, the layout with the smallest area will be used.

Parameters

Public methods

addStableView

Added in API level 31
public void addStableView (int viewId, 
                RemoteViews nestedView, 
                int stableId)

Equivalent to calling ViewGroup#addView(View) after inflating the given RemoteViews. If the RemoteViews may be re-inflated or updated, removeAllViews(int) must be called on the same viewId before the first call to this method for the behavior of this method to be predictable. The stableId will be used to identify a potential view to recycled when the remote view is inflated. Views can be re-used if inserted in the same order, potentially with some views appearing / disappearing. To be recycled the view must not change the layout used to inflate it or its view id (see RemoteViews#RemoteViews(String, int, int)). Note: if a view is re-used, all the actions will be re-applied on it. However, its properties are not reset, so what was applied in previous round will have an effect. As a view may be re-created at any time by the host, the RemoteViews should not rely on keeping information from previous applications and always re-set all the properties they need.

Parameters
viewId int: The id of the parent ViewGroup to add child into.

nestedView RemoteViews: RemoteViews that describes the child. This value cannot be null.

stableId int: An id that is stable across different versions of RemoteViews.

                RemoteViews.RemoteResponse response)

Equivalent to calling CompoundButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener(android.widget.CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener) to launch the provided RemoteResponse. The intent will be filled with the current checked state of the view at the key EXTRA_CHECKED. The RemoteResponse will not be launched in response to check changes arising from setCompoundButtonChecked(int, boolean) or setRadioGroupChecked(int, int) usages. The RemoteResponse must be created using RemoteResponse#fromFillInIntent(Intent) in conjunction with RemoteViews#setPendingIntentTemplate(int, PendingIntent) for items inside collections (eg. ListView, StackView etc.). Otherwise, create the RemoteResponse using RemoteResponse#fromPendingIntent(PendingIntent).

Parameters
viewId int: The id of the view that will trigger the PendingIntent when checked state changes.

response RemoteViews.RemoteResponse: The RemoteResponse to send when the checked state changes. This value cannot be null.

setOnClickFillInIntent

Added in API level 11
public void setOnClickFillInIntent (int viewId, 
                Intent fillInIntent)

When using collections (eg. ListView, StackView etc.) in widgets, it is very costly to set PendingIntents on the individual items, and is hence not recommended. Instead a single PendingIntent template can be set on the collection, see setPendingIntentTemplate(int, android.app.PendingIntent), and the individual on-click action of a given item can be distinguished by setting a fillInIntent on that item. The fillInIntent is then combined with the PendingIntent template in order to determine the final intent which will be executed when the item is clicked. This works as follows: any fields which are left blank in the PendingIntent template, but are provided by the fillInIntent will be overwritten, and the resulting PendingIntent will be used. The rest of the PendingIntent template will then be filled in with the associated fields that are set in fillInIntent. See Intent#fillIn(Intent, int) for more details.

Parameters
viewId int: The id of the view on which to set the fillInIntent

fillInIntent Intent: The intent which will be combined with the parent's PendingIntent in order to determine the on-click behavior of the view specified by viewId

setOnClickPendingIntent

Added in API level 3
public void setOnClickPendingIntent (int viewId, 
                PendingIntent pendingIntent)

Equivalent to calling View.setOnClickListener(android.view.View.OnClickListener) to launch the provided PendingIntent. The source bounds (Intent#getSourceBounds()) of the intent will be set to the bounds of the clicked view in screen space. Note that any activity options associated with the mPendingIntent may get overridden before starting the intent. When setting the on-click action of items within collections (eg. ListView, StackView etc.), this method will not work. Instead, use setPendingIntentTemplate(int, android.app.PendingIntent) in conjunction with RemoteViews#setOnClickFillInIntent(int, Intent).

Parameters
viewId int: The id of the view that will trigger the PendingIntent when clicked

pendingIntent PendingIntent: The PendingIntent to send when user clicks

setOnClickResponse

Added in API level 29
public void setOnClickResponse (int viewId, 
                RemoteViews.RemoteResponse response)

Equivalent of calling View.setOnClickListener(android.view.View.OnClickListener) to launch the provided RemoteResponse.

Parameters
viewId int: The id of the view that will trigger the RemoteResponse when clicked

response RemoteViews.RemoteResponse: The RemoteResponse to send when user clicks This value cannot be null.

setOnStylusHandwritingPendingIntent

Added in API level 35
public void setOnStylusHandwritingPendingIntent (int viewId, 
                PendingIntent pendingIntent)

Equivalent to calling View#setHandwritingDelegatorCallback(Runnable) to send the provided PendingIntent.

A common use case is a remote view which looks like a text editor but does not actually support text editing itself, and clicking on the remote view launches an activity containing an EditText. To support handwriting initiation in this case, this method can be called on the remote view to configure it as a handwriting delegator, meaning that stylus movement on the remote view triggers a PendingIntent and starts handwriting mode for the delegate EditText. The PendingIntent is typically the same as the one passed to setOnClickPendingIntent(int, PendingIntent) which launches the activity containing the EditText. The EditText should call View#setIsHandwritingDelegate to set it as a delegate, and also use View#setAllowedHandwritingDelegatorPackage or InputMethodManager.HANDWRITING_DELEGATE_FLAG_HOME_DELEGATOR_ALLOWED if necessary to support delegators from the package displaying the remote view.

Parameters
viewId int: identifier of the view that will trigger the PendingIntent when a stylus MotionEvent occurs within the view's bounds

pendingIntent PendingIntent: the PendingIntent to send, or null to clear the handwriting delegation

setPendingIntentTemplate

Added in API level 11
public void setPendingIntentTemplate (int viewId, 
                PendingIntent pendingIntentTemplate)

When using collections (eg. ListView, StackView etc.) in widgets, it is very costly to set PendingIntents on the individual items, and is hence not recommended. Instead this method should be used to set a single PendingIntent template on the collection, and individual items can differentiate their on-click behavior using RemoteViews#setOnClickFillInIntent(int, Intent).

Parameters
viewId int: The id of the collection who's children will use this PendingIntent template when clicked

pendingIntentTemplate PendingIntent: The PendingIntent to be combined with extras specified by a child of viewId and executed when that child is clicked

setProgressBar

Added in API level 1
public void setProgressBar (int viewId, 
                int max, 
                int progress,

Equivalent to calling ProgressBar.setMax, ProgressBar.setProgress, and ProgressBar.setIndeterminate If indeterminate is true, then the values for max and progress are ignored.

Parameters
viewId int: The id of the ProgressBar to change

max int: The 100% value for the progress bar

progress int: The current value of the progress bar.

indeterminate boolean: True if the progress bar is indeterminate, false if not.

setRemoteAdapter

Added in API level 31
public void setRemoteAdapter (int viewId, 
                RemoteViews.RemoteCollectionItems items)

Creates a simple Adapter for the viewId specified. The viewId must point to an AdapterView, ie. ListView, GridView, StackView or AdapterViewAnimator. This is a simpler but less flexible approach to populating collection widgets. Its use is encouraged for most scenarios, as long as the total memory within the list of RemoteViews is relatively small (ie. doesn't contain large or numerous Bitmaps, see setImageViewBitmap(int, Bitmap)). In the case of numerous images, the use of API is still possible by setting image URIs instead of Bitmaps, see RemoteViews#setImageViewUri.
