Android中的Widget开发

1、在/res目录下创建xml目录，创建widget_provider.xml文件（用于设置widget的所有属性）。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appwidget-provider
    android:minHeight="50dp"
    android:minWidth="50dp"
    android:updatePeriodMillis="10000"
    android:initialLayout="@layout/window_layout"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />

android:minHeight="50dp"  表示最小高度
android:minWidth="50dp"   表示最小宽度
android:updatePeriodMillis="10000"   刷新时间
android:initialLayout="@layout/window_layout"  布局资源

2、创建布局资源文件window_layout.xml（用于控制小窗的样式）

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/mywidget">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/wordcup"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="#FFFF0000"
        android:textSize="15sp"
        android:text="@string/s_window"/>

</LinearLayout>

3、控制widget的功能逻辑代码文件WidgetDemo.java

public class WidgetDemo extends AppWidgetProvider{
    @Override
    public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new MyTime(context,appWidgetManager), 1, 60000);
        super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
    }

    private class MyTime extends TimerTask {
        RemoteViews remoteViews;
        AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager;
        ComponentName thisWidget;

        public MyTime(Context context,AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager){
            this.appWidgetManager = appWidgetManager;
            remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),R.layout.window_layout);

            thisWidget = new ComponentName(context,WidgetDemo.class);
        }
        public void run() {
            Date date = new Date();
            Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(2010,06,11);
            long days = (((calendar.getTimeInMillis()-date.getTime())/1000))/86400;
            remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.wordcup, "距离南非世界杯还有" + days+"天");
            appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, remoteViews);

        }
    }


}

4、配置项目的清单文件Manifeast.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.huaxinzhi.textwidget">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/mywidget"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <receiver
            android:name=".WidgetDemo"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
                android:resource="@xml/widget_provider"/>
        </receiver>
    </application>

</manifest>

注意事项：
运行的时候需要长按桌面在选择小部件的界面中选择部署好的widget。这样widget就会显示在桌面上了
