Android Question Is it possible to overwrite widget xml files with CreateResource feature?

[corwin42]

I'm currently a bit lazy to test it myself.

If I use Homescreen widgets with B4A there are some files automatically created in the res folder.

If I want to use a preview image for the widget I have to edit the <servicename>_info.xml file in the xml folder. Would it be possible to overwrite this auto generated file with the new CreateResource() feature of the manifest editor?

Yes.

For example:

CreateResource(xml, widgetservice_info.xml,
<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:minWidth="140dp"
   android:minHeight="120dp"
   android:initialLayout="@layout/widgetservice_layout"
   android:updatePeriodMillis="12334" />
)
