Android 3.0, Widget Preview


In Honeycomb some of the System apps have a "preview" of the widget when you click the "add" options on the home screen.

How do I go about adding a thumbnail/preview of my widget to my application so the user can get a feel for what it looks like when adding it in Honeycomb?


Solution

  • If you run the android emulator against the Honeycomb sdk, you should see an app called Widget Preview, which will allow you to pick the widget to take a preview of (you will have to install your widget on the emulated device). I think you can also build it yourself if you have the source checked out (it's under development/apps/WidgetPreview).
