Question

I’m new in all widget staff so I’m trying to make one simple that just shows a name on it. I have read several tutorials but I’m not able to change the size! It’s not that I want to try to change it at runtime its that I change the size from the widget provider and it doesn’t change!!

Any help on this!

My code is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:initialLayout="@layout/widget"
android:minHeight="146dp"
android:minWidth="146dp"
android:updatePeriodMillis="10000" />

Answer 1

So what is the problem? You should change minHeight and minWidth. But remember that the size should match the formula (num*74 – 2).

And after you’ve changed the size you should reinstall the package and add new widget to the screen.
