android-widget
Could any help me to do this?My code is like:
 public CustomClass extends View {
//uses ondraw() to do something
}
For displaying my custom view on HomeScreen i created a class to extend Broadcast Receiver
public class customAppWidgetProvider extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String action = intent.getAction();
        if (AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE.equals(action)) {
            RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
                    R.layout.main);
           //Here i want to create my custom view class object and i want to add this view to linear layout in main.xml
              CustomClass object = new CustomClass(context) ;
              LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(context) ;
              layout.setLayoutParameters(new LayoutParameters(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
              layout.addView(object);
            views.addview(R.id.linearlayout, (ViewGroup) layout) ;
            views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.analog_appwidget,
                    PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
                        new Intent(context, AlarmClock.class),
                        PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT));
            int[] appWidgetIds = intent.getIntArrayExtra(
                    AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS);
            AppWidgetManager gm = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
            gm.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, views);
        }
    }
}
But adding viewgroup to RemoteView reference is not working... above main.xml contains only LinearLayout.I want to add custom view object to it.But after running this not showing anything on screen..
please help me to do this.Thanks in Advance.
