[Q] How to use AppWidgetProvider in my application? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im now developing a simple widget.. Its really new for me, Im not really understand on how to use the AppWidgetProvider
My current widget is only displaying image which it will directly link to a website when user click it..
So, my question is, which of these should I use in AppWidgetProvider ?
As we know there are 4 of them..
onDeleted(context)
onDisabled(context)
onUpdated(context)
onReceived(context)
can u explain a bit more about it? and the steps for me to make the code for linking the image to website.

Programming your own lock screen

Hello,
I would like to know which method you need to use to access the unlock screen and replace it (something like SlideUnlock or Widget Locker). I want to design an app which could work on any phone even those without a custom ROM. This app would then be overriding the default Lock Screen.
You probably need to create a service but I can't seem to find a source code or a good tutorial on it.

Not exactly an app but this tutorial should give you some idea about what your trying to do:
TUTORIAL - modding lockscreen/framework-res.apk
I actually found one tutorial but it is kind of messy and lacks in-code comments:
playingwithandroid(dot)blogspot(dot)fr/2012/07/making-customize-lock-screen(dot)html (can't post links yet).
I am further studying the Broadcast and Service implied and will keep this forum posted for any update.

I know this is an old post. But I was wondering if you found what you were looking for. I recently developed an interest in this and wanted to customize my own unlocking screen animation. But I can't seem to find a good tutorial on it

[Q] Android app help!

So for my class I need to make a mobile app about the arctic fox. I no absolutely no coding at all and have been scouring the web for programs that will work. I've tried MIT/Google App creator but didn't have much luck with it. I'd like it so that when you press any one of the 5 images of the fox a text box will pop out with additional information. For the title page, I just want it to simply show it as a splash screen. If anyone can recommend a suitable program that would be amazing!
Umm seems that since I don't have 10 posts kindly look at this thread for the images: overclock.net/t/1347502/making-an-android-app-help/0_30
Warm regards

lol you'd think so right? Funny thing is this is a science course and all she did was link some free app builder (they are terrible btw). I have no idea why this assignment is here. I found MobinCube which has everything I need except the fact that it just smacks an ad right on the bottom of it and paying for an ad free one is 150$.

First off dont bump your thread people will answer in due cause.
The develop programs for android you will need to use Java, you will then need to download the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You will likely also want to use a IDE something like eclipse or intellij
Where to start all depeneds on past knowledge, If you know very little/nothing there is a few good guides on how to get started on here just search for them.
how you get paid via ads depends on the ad company you use, some pay you per install some pay you per click of the ad etc.
Either way a far better way of making money would be to have a free version and paid version of your app (or maybe in app purchases if it is a game)

[Q]How to Incorporate an App or Widget into the Android System?

Hey Guys,
I have a question, How do I incorporate an App or Widget into the System??? Like... if I had a widget apk, could I combine it with the SystemUI or some other system-related-things so that both processes are one and they load together. I know that you can turn them into a System app but that's not what I want to do, I want to put them together so that both of them are one, get it? Oh and BTW, I don't need to be spoon-fed or anything, I know some coding and have been studying Android. I just need to know which files to edit or change.
Thanks in Advance!!!
Are you sure??? I don't see any reason it shouldn't be possible... If we can do code editing on system files then why can't we do this???
