Hi All,

Has anyone tried to do one of the new 4.2 lock screen widgets yet? If so is there a way to compile the app for 4.1 and up while retaining the 4.2 widget?

Regards,

Jon

Just tried it. You only have to add the

B4X: 
android:widgetCategory="keyguard|home_screen">

element to the Appwidget-provider xml in the Objects/res/xml folder and make the file read only and compile with the Rev17 android.jar.

Hi Corwin,

Such a nice simple upgrade :)

I was a little worried about the code compiled with API 17 running on Android 4.1 devices as well as 4.2 but it seems to work just fine.

Now if only I could get the widget to work 100% of the time :)

Best Regards,

Jon

Can the Lockscreen Widget be treated like any other Widget? I am updating the widget from within a second service with callsubdelayed. Is there anything to consider? I mean because the widget is only actually there if the lockscreen is on.
