I've tried to search for information about StackView Widget and i've found a lot , but nobody used to get data from url . So the problem is , while i'm processing url , my RemoteViews are null , so they don't show nothing. Once the process is done i want to update that RemoteViews from asyntask (there are in the same class). How can i do that ? Or syncronize them ?
Here's my code for Widget service:
public class RSSService extends RemoteViewsService {
private ManagerRSS mr;
private Cursor c;
private int lenght;
private List<Provider> mWidgetItems = new ArrayList<Provider>();
private RemoteViews rv = null;
public ArrayList<Item> result = new ArrayList<Item>();
private boolean isFinished = false;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mr = new ManagerRSS(this.getApplicationContext());
mr.open();
mr.openRead();
c = mr.getCursor();
lenght = c.getCount();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
c.close();
mr.close();
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public RemoteViewsFactory onGetViewFactory(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return new RSSRemoteViewsFactory(this.getApplicationContext(), intent);
}
class RSSRemoteViewsFactory implements RemoteViewsService.RemoteViewsFactory{
private Context mContext;
private int mAppWidgetId;
public RSSRemoteViewsFactory(Context applicationContext, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
mContext = applicationContext;
mAppWidgetId = intent.getIntExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return lenght;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return arg0;
}
@Override
public RemoteViews getLoadingView() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
@Override
public RemoteViews getViewAt(int position) {
if(isFinished){
rv = new RemoteViews(mContext.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_item);
rv.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_item, mWidgetItems.get(position).getTitle());
if(mWidgetItems.get(position).getTitle().equals("El Pais")){
rv.setImageViewResource(R.id.iNotice, R.drawable.elpais);
}else if(mWidgetItems.get(position).getTitle().equals("Marca")){
rv.setImageViewResource(R.id.iNotice, R.drawable.marca);
}else if(mWidgetItems.get(position).getTitle().equals("As")){
rv.setImageViewResource(R.id.iNotice, R.drawable.as1);
}else if(mWidgetItems.get(position).getTitle().equals("Ideal")){
rv.setImageViewResource(R.id.iNotice, R.drawable.ideal);
}else{
rv.setImageViewResource(0, R.drawable.undefined);
}
rv.setTextViewText(R.id.tvLastNotice, result.get(position).getTitle());
rv.setTextViewText(R.id.tvLastNoticePublish, result.get(position).getPubDate());
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString(Widget.NAME_DIARY, mWidgetItems.get(position).getTitle());
Intent fillInIntent = new Intent();
fillInIntent.putExtras(extras);
rv.setOnClickFillInIntent(R.id.widget_item, fillInIntent);
try {
System.out.println("Loading view " + position);
Thread.sleep(500);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return rv;
}else{
return null;
}
}
@Override
public int getViewTypeCount() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return 1;
}
@Override
public boolean hasStableIds() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return true;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
while(c.moveToNext()){
String title = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Contrato.TableRSS.TITLE));
String link = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Contrato.TableRSS.LINK));
long _id = c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(Contrato.TableRSS._ID));
mWidgetItems.add(new Provider(_id, title, link));
executeThread(link, c.getPosition());
}
}
void executeThread(String type_link,int position){
myThread exe = new myThread();
exe.setOnlyFirst(true);
exe.execute(new String[]{type_link});
}
private class myThread extends MyAsyncTask{
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<Item> result2) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostExecute(result2);
for(int i=0;i<result2.size();i++) result.add(result2.get(i));
if(result.size()+1 == c.getCount()) isFinished = true;
}
}
@Override
public void onDataSetChanged() {
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {mWidgetItems.clear();}
}
}
And this is my WidgetProvider :
public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider{
public static final String ON_TOUCH = "com.cool.nightrss.ON_TOUCH";
public static final String ID_DIARY = "com.cool.nightrss.ID_DIARY";
public static final String ID_NOTICE = "com.cool.nightrss.ID_NOTICE";
public static final String NAME_DIARY = "com.cool.nightrss.NAME_DIARY";
public static final String LINK_NOTICE = "com.cool.nightrss.LINK_NOTICE";
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (intent.getAction().equals(ON_TOUCH)) {
int appWidgetId = intent.getIntExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
String name = intent.getStringExtra(NAME_DIARY);
Toast.makeText(context, "Touched view " + name +" ID "+appWidgetId, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
super.onReceive(context, intent);
}
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
for (int i = 0; i < appWidgetIds.length; ++i) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, RSSService.class);
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetIds[i]);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME)));
RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout);
rv.setRemoteAdapter(appWidgetIds[i], R.id.stack_view, intent);
Intent toastIntent = new Intent(context, Widget.class);
toastIntent.setAction(Widget.ON_TOUCH);
toastIntent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetIds[i]);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME)));
PendingIntent toastPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, toastIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
rv.setPendingIntentTemplate(R.id.stack_view, toastPendingIntent);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds[i], rv);
}
super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
}
}
You can use the method onDataSetChanged in class RSSRemoteViewsFactory. This is triggered when you call AppWidgetManager notifyAppWidgetViewDataChanged on the collection view corresponding to this factory. You can do heaving lifting in here, synchronously. For example, if you need to process an image, fetch something from the network, etc., it is ok to do it here, synchronously. The widget will remain in its current state while work is being done here, so you don't need to worry about locking up the widget.
}
In the following example, I'm fetching a json from a webserver and then I fetch the images from each item. The onDataSetChanged is used to fetch the json content and the in the getViewAt I fetch the image.

Hope it helps you
