How to start an action when I click on my widget?

Question

I have this widget that mutes the sound, but instead I want to trigger another action (MYxz.class), please tell me what I have to change here ...

public class AppWidget extends AppWidgetProvider { @Override public void onReceive(Context ctxt, Intent intent) { if(intent.getAction()==null) { ctxt.startService(new Intent(ctxt,ToggleService.class)); } else { super.onReceive(ctxt, intent); } } @Override public void onUpdate(Context context,AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int [] appWidgetIds) { context.startService(new Intent(context,ToggleService.class)); //RemoteViews buildUpdate(context); } public static class ToggleService extends IntentService { public ToggleService() { super("AppWidget$ToggleService"); } @Override protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) { ComponentName me = new ComponentName(this,AppWidget.class); AppWidgetManager mgr= AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this); mgr.updateAppWidget(me,buildUpdate(this)); } private RemoteViews buildUpdate(Context context) { RemoteViews updateViews=new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),R.layout.widget); AudioManager audioManager=(AudioManager)context.getSystemService(Activity.AUDIO_SERVICE); if(audioManager.getRingerMode()==AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT) { updateViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.phoneState,R.drawable.silent); audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL); } else { updateViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.phoneState,R.drawable.phone123); audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT); } Intent i=new Intent(this, AppWidget.class); PendingIntent pi= PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,0, i,0); updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.phoneState,pi); return updateViews; } } } 

Answer 1

Instead:

 Intent active = new Intent(paramContext, AppWidget.class); 

You're using:

 Intent active = new Intent(paramContext, YOURCLASS.class); 

before you create the pending intent, @imran khan helped me, but there are some settings you need to make 2 ... this should start the Activity you need.

Yes, see an example:

Improve your manifest.xml

 <receiver android:name=".AppWidget" android:label="Caller" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" > <intent-filter > <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" /> <action android:name="com.app.example.MyWidget.ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_RECEIVER"/> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider" android:resource="@xml/widget_provider" /> </receiver> <service android:name=".AppWidget$ToggleService" /> 

and update the AppWidgetProvider app :

  public class MyWidget extends AppWidgetProvider { public static String ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_RECEIVER = "ActionReceiverWidget"; public static int appid[]; public static RemoteViews rview; @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds){ updateWidgetState(context, ""); } @Override public void onReceive(Context paramContext, Intent paramIntent) { String str = paramIntent.getAction(); if (paramIntent.getAction().equals(ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_RECEIVER)) { updateWidgetState(paramContext, str); } else { if ("android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_DELETED".equals(str)) { int i = paramIntent.getExtras().getInt("appWidgetId", 0); if (i == 0) { } else { int[] arrayOfInt = new int[1]; arrayOfInt[0] = i; onDeleted(paramContext, arrayOfInt); } } super.onReceive(paramContext, paramIntent); } } 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); } private static RemoteViews buildUpdate(Context paramContext, String paramString) { // Toast.makeText(paramContext, "buildUpdate() ::"+paramString, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); rview = new RemoteViews(paramContext.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout); Intent active = new Intent(paramContext, MyWidget.class); active.setAction(ACTION_WIDGET_RECEIVER); PendingIntent configPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(paramContext, 0, active, 0); // upadte this R.id.buttonus1 with your layout or image id on which click you want to start Activity Intent configIntent = new Intent(paramContext, Caller2.class); configIntent.setAction((ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_RECEIVER); PendingIntent configPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(paramContext, 0, configIntent, 0); rview.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Phonestatexx, configPendingIntent); if(parmString.equals(ACTION_WIDGET_CLICK_RECEIVER)) { //open Activity here.. //your code for update and what you want on button click // } return rview; } @Override public void onEnabled(Context context){ super.onEnabled(context); // Toast.makeText(context, "onEnabled() ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } // Called each time an instance of the App Widget is removed from the host @Override public void onDeleted(Context context, int [] appWidgetId){ super.onDeleted(context, appWidgetId); // Toast.makeText(context, "onDeleted() ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } // Called when last instance of App Widget is deleted from the App Widget host. @Override public void onDisabled(Context context) { super.onDisabled(context); // Toast.makeText(context, "onDisabled() ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }

With pendingIntents, you can trigger an intent (for your activity or something else) when the widget element clicked. this may help: http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidWidgets/article.html
