I'm trying to write a set of widgets and, in contrast to too many of the widgets being put on the market, I'm trying to actually conform to the widget design guidelines (http://developer.android.com/guide/ practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html). Unfortunately, in order to do this properly and look right, the widget needs to be able to instantly change layouts when the screen changes orientation from portrait to landscape.
Thus far, the *only* way that I've found to detect and react to the orientation change is to keep a service running at all times with an "onConfigurationChanged" method that updates the widget in a timely manner. Unfortunately, this leaves an expensive process constantly cluttering up memory and pretty much defeats the broadcast-based design of the widget mechanism. It seems that there's got to be a better (and more efficient) way to meet this basic requirement. Am I missing something obvious? -Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
