android - 使用 appWidgetId 检查主屏幕上是否存在小部件

Question

我正在使用AlarmManager更新我的小部件。如果主屏幕上没有小部件，我想停止它。但是我在检测主屏幕上是否没有小部件时遇到了问题。

每当我尝试使用这种方式获取 AppWidgetIds 时：

AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);

int[] appWidgetIDs = appWidgetManager
    .getAppWidgetIds(new ComponentName(context, Widget.class));

我得到了一段时间，appWidgetIDs实际上主屏幕上没有小部件。为什么？

因此，我想知道是否有办法检测主屏幕上是否存在小部件 ID。

谢谢你。

Congratulations, you've encountered phantom appwidgets. It appears to be documented on the Android issue tracker. They usually occur when the configuration activity for an appwidget is canceled, though it seems to be through improper implementation of the configuration activity; developers neglect to include the appwidget ID as an extra when setting the activity result to RESULT_CANCELED. (even Google's ApiDemos sample application neglects to do this!)

The proper implementation is like this:

public class AppWidgetConfigActivity extends Activity {

    private int appWidgetId;
    private Intent resultValue;

    protected void onCreate(bundle saved) {
        super.onCreate(saved);

        // get the appwidget id from the intent
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        appWidgetId = intent.getIntExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
                AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);

        // make the result intent and set the result to canceled
        resultValue = new Intent();
        resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);
        setResult(RESULT_CANCELED, resultValue);

        // if we weren't started properly, finish here
        if (appwidgetId == AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) {
            finish();
        }

        /* ... */
    }

    /* ... */

    private void finishConfigure() {
        /* finish configuring appwidget ... */
        setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);
    }
}

Thus far I know of no way to detect the presence of a phantom appwidget without doing your own bookkeeping. I suggest storing a SharedPreferences value indicating that the configuration activity was not canceled and then querying this value in your other code. You can also use this information to "delete" a phantom widget if you come across one. In your appwidget configuration activity:

private void finishConfigure() {
    /* finish configuring appwidget ... */
    setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);

    String key = String.format("appwidget%d_configured", appwidgetId);
    SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("widget_prefs", 0);
    prefs.edit().putBoolean(key, true).commit;
}

Then you can check that you have at least one non-phantom appwidget like so:

AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
AppWidgetHost appWidgetHost = new AppWidgetHost(context, 1); // for removing phantoms
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("widget_prefs", 0);
boolean hasWidget = false;

int[] appWidgetIDs = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(new ComponentName(context, Widget.class));
for (int i = 0; i < appWidgetIDs.length; i++) {
    int id = appWidgetIDs[i];
    String key = String.format("appwidget%d_configured", id);
    if (prefs.getBoolean(key, false)) {
        hasWidget = true;
    } else {
        // delete the phantom appwidget
        appWidgetHost.deleteAppWidgetId(id);
    }
}

if (hasWidget) {
    // proceed
} else {
    // turn off alarms
}
