Android Question widget on android 4.2.2 error

[Vasilios Evagelopoulos]

When I install the widget to my phone (android 4.2.2) the widget goes to apps area and not to widget's area and I can't place it on home screen.
Please help!
Find attached the exported zip

You should see the app in the regular apps list. However you should also see the widget in the widgets list.

I don't remember where is the widgets list on Android 4.4. You should either long click on the home screen or it is next to the apps list.

I see the app in the regular apps list but no widget in the widgets list.

I´ve used your project to compile and install....

I also installed on my tablet (android 4.1.1) and it's ok but on my phone no widget.

as you can see in the first image. I CAN SEE YOUR WIDGET

 

[parijs]

Sorry Don it's not my widget.
But it works on my phone

 

[Vasilios Evagelopoulos]

Sorry Don, parijs but B4A install the app to my apps correctly but doesn't my widget to widgets. Same with AVD manager and 4.2.2 android.

Your widget came to me after the second debug.
Try rebooting your phone and look
I do not know if it has anything to do with time but a Msgbox in the main works better for me

 

[Vasilios Evagelopoulos]

Thanks parijs but I tried rebooting.
I think that there is a bug with B4A widgets and api level 17(4.2.2).
You can try with AVD manager and a virtual device at api level 17.

 

[parijs]

Can you try this widget

 

[Vasilios Evagelopoulos]

It works!!

 

[parijs]

Try this

 

[Vasilios Evagelopoulos]

Not working parijs.

 

[parijs]

Hard to find anything because it works here.
try disable large blocks of code by '
almost complete JobDone and look if your widget rises

 

[Vasilios Evagelopoulos]

I found it. It is the size of layout. When I resize it to 200*250 it works.
If I change it to 290*360 widget disappears.
My phone is 5' and can view larger widgets than this.
Why that happens?

 

[parijs]

Your widget is 4x4 on my phone
more people have problems with the size
try the search "widget size"

 

[Vasilios Evagelopoulos]

Thanks parijs.

 

[Vasilios Evagelopoulos]

Ok finally works.
I change the minWidth and minHeight to 290,294 to widget_info.xml and make it read only.
Thanks all for your help.
