I do RemoteView.setInt to call methods on the layout id. Is there a way, using a similar technique, to get access to the drawable and mutate it? In other words, change the background color of the current background resource such that the widget uses that modified resource?
I'm sure that the downside of using a "hidden" API is that it can be removed in a future release and break the app. Do developers commonly accept that risk? >>>>> "KV" == Kostya Vasilyev <kmans...@gmail.com> writes: KV> https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/master/core/java/android/widget/RemoteViews.java KV> #setDrawableParameters KV> NB: marked with a @hide.
