Android - How to navigate ViewFlipper in AppWidget prior to Honeycomb

I'm writing flippable app widget and I run in the problem described below while trying to navigate the views.

The widget is simply a ViewFlipper with two buttons that when clicked should navigate through the child views of the ViewFlipper.

I just answered a similar question for API 11+ however this solution will only work in Honeycomb since prior to that RemoteViews#showNext|showPrevious did not exist. I tried to do root.setInt(R.id.scroll, "setDisplayedChild", pos) but that generated android.widget.ViewFlipper can't use method with RemoteViews: setDisplayedChild(int) exception.

So now I have a properly populated ViewFlipper in my widget and I can't flip through views. I would really appreciate help with this

Solution

  • You cannot use ViewFlipper in an app widget prior to API Level 11.
