[android-developers] Re: Enable / Disable android widgets runtime.
i am (also) having trouble enabling/disabling widgets at runtime. as reported before you can enable/disable component with the packagemanager. but for the widget the behaviour i see is not what i expect. the widget will be referenced in the widget menu on the home screen when the widget is enabled by default. if you disable it by default and enable it at runtime there is not change in the widget menu. what do i have to do to 'force' this change to the widget menu? groet, jurg. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Yep. For the other part though you can use this to disable (make it as if it doesn't exist) and re-enable any component of your application, such as the receiver for the widget: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#setComponentEnabledSetting(android.content.ComponentName, int, int) On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 10:48 PM, nEx.Software wrote: > > You cannot add or remove AppWidgets from your application.

You cannot add or remove AppWidgets from your application. The user must explicitly do that from the home screen.
