I'm trying to create a widget button to run an application activity directly through the home screen. the widget change the image when i press it according to the my_button.xml file. but i can't create an event when i click on it.
i need to know how to call "onPress" event (for example) in order to call a method inside my main activity. I would appreciate your help
i attached the relevant files.
