I am new to Android Studio and my problem is my widget is not updating. Let's say I changed my data JSON. I have read some threads and says that a widget has a time interval of 30mins to refresh. But I have waited for my simulator 30mins and nothing changed. Can someone help me out on this ? Because I want my widget to update atleast 30mins default..
class TestWidget : AppWidgetProvider() {
private val httpClient = AsyncHttpClient()
private var title = String.toString()
private var imageUrl = String.toString()
override fun onUpdate(context: Context, appWidgetManager: AppWidgetManager, appWidgetIds: IntArray) {
// There may be multiple widgets active, so update all of them
httpClient.get(jsonUrl, object : JsonHttpResponseHandler() {
override fun onSuccess(statusCode: Int, headers: Array<out Header>, response: JSONArray) {
val json = response.getJSONObject(0)
title = json.getString("title")
imageUrl = json.getString("imageUrl")
val views = RemoteViews(context.packageName, R.layout.test_widget)
views.setTextViewText(R.id.text, title)
Picasso.with(context)
.load(imageUrl)
.into(views, R.id.image, appWidgetIds)
}
override fun onFailure(statusCode: Int, headers: Array<out Header>?, throwable: Throwable?, errorResponse: JSONObject?) {
println(throwable?.localizedMessage)
}
})
for (appWidgetId in appWidgetIds) {
updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId)
}
}
override fun onEnabled(context: Context) {
// Enter relevant functionality for when the first widget is created
}
override fun onDisabled(context: Context) {
// Enter relevant functionality for when the last widget is disabled
}
companion object {
internal fun updateAppWidget(context: Context, appWidgetManager: AppWidgetManager,
appWidgetId: Int) {
// Construct the RemoteViews object
val views = RemoteViews(context.packageName, R.layout.test_widget)
// Instruct the widget manager to update the widget
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views)
}
}
}
