Question

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/widget"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/my_background"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

And now I want to change this background to “@drawable/your_bck” using RemoteViews. I tried something like this

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),R.drawable.yout_bck);
remoteViews.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.widget, bitmap);

But i then it shows “Widget failed to load”

It must be as a background because i need to set a text on the center of image 🙂

Answer 1

You’re calling setImageViewBitmap on a RelativeLayout. A RelativeLayout is not an ImageView. You could put an ImageView in there instead that fills the RelativeLayout and call it on that.
