Android Question Widgets and Designer Scripts

[ac9ts]

Do designer scripts work on widget layouts?

I have a widget with 4 image views and a label on a panel. When I run the script in the designer, all the views move to where I want them. When I load the widget on the device, the views are where they were placed originally (as if the script was not run).

Code below. Activity is the parent of pnlWidget. pnlWidget is the parent of the remaining views.

'All variants script
AutoScaleAll

imgPause.Bottom=pnlWidget.Bottom-5dip
imgPlay.Bottom=imgPause.Bottom
imgStop.Bottom=imgPause.Bottom
imgNext.Bottom=imgPause.Bottom

imgPause.Right = pnlWidget.HorizontalCenter-10dip
imgStop.Left = pnlWidget.HorizontalCenter+10dip
imgPlay.Right = imgPause.Left - 20dip
imgNext.Left = imgStop.Right + 20dip

lblShow.Top=pnlWidget.Top+1dip
lblShow.Height=pnlWidget.Height-imgPause.Height-3dip
lblShow.Left = 10dip
lblShow.Width = pnlWidget.Width-20dip

While I continue to dig, I found that designer scripts for widgets are not supported. This was from 3 years ago. Is it still valid?

Designer script and anchors cannot work with widgets. A static XML is generated from the layout for the widget. It is the home screen app that loads the XML.
This is completely different than the way that layouts are handled inside your app.
