I'm a newbie and i'm finding difficulty in getting texts from a string array. I tried creating a widget in my app and i wanted the widget to update it's text view from the string array i declared in the resources folder, but this does not seams to work out. Here is my code.
MainActivity.Java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static TextView Quote;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Quote = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.appwidget_text);
final String[] Quotes = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Qoutes);
Random rand = new Random();
int randNum = rand.nextInt(Quotes.length);
Quote.setText(Quotes[randNum]);
}}
NewAppWidget.java
public class NewAppWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {
static void updateAppWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int appWidgetId) {
CharSequence widgetText = MainActivity.Quote.getText().toString();
// Construct the RemoteViews object
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.new_app_widget);
views.setTextViewText(R.id.appwidget_text, widgetText);
// Instruct the widget manager to update the widget
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
// There may be multiple widgets active, so update all of them
for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) {
updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId);
}
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0 , intent, 0);
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.new_app_widget);
remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.interfaceID,pendingIntent);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, remoteViews);
}
@Override
public void onEnabled(Context context) {
// Enter relevant functionality for when the first widget is created
}
@Override
public void onDisabled(Context context) {
// Enter relevant functionality for when the last widget is disabled
}}
Thank You
