In this tutorial we will learn, how to create a simple home screen App Widget that contains a button and opens the MainActivity when we click it.
For this we will create a widget layout, an AppWidgetProvider class and an AppWidgetProviderInfo xml file. In the AppWidgetProvider java file we will then override onUpdate and create a PendingIntent which brings us to our MainActivity. We set this intent on our widget button with help of the RemoteViews class and then update our widget with the appWidgetManager object. We repeat this process for all instances of our widget by looping through the appWidgetIds int array.
In the app widget info xml file, we define the update frequency with updatePeriodMillis, the widgetCategory, minHeight, minWidth, minResizeWidth, initialLayout and more.
Lastly we register our AppWidgetProvider in the AndroidManifest.xml file as a broadcast receiver with the APPWIDGET_UPDATE intent filter. We register our appwidget info object in the meta data tag with android.appwidget.provider.
Our widget will have a previewImage which we create with help of the Widget Preview app and it will be resizable.

How to Build a Simple Spin the Bottle Game in Android Studio (Incl. Code and Image Files)In this video we are going to build a simple spin the bottle game in Android Studio. We will display the bottle in an ImageView on which we set an onClickListener with the onClick xml attribute. When we click this image, we start a RotateAnimation which ends at a random direction. We will get this random direction as a number with the Random class and it’s nextInt method. For pivotX and pivotY we will set the middle of the ImageView which we get by dividing getWidth and getHeight by 2. With setDuration we set the length of the animation and with setFillAfter(true) we make sure that the ImageView ends up pointing to the direction at which the rotation ends.
We will also set an AnimationListener on our animation to lock and unlock the spinning method in onAnimationStart and onAnimationEnd.

How to Create a Rate Me Dialog with the Android-Rate Library – Android Studio TutorialIn this video we will learn, how to use the Android-Rate library to create a “Rate this app” prompt that appears after a certain number of days and a certain amount of app starts and asks the user for a Playstore rating. The user can accept the request to get directed to the Google Playstore entry, he can deny it so the dialog won’t be shown again and he can delay it with the “remind me later” button.
We will also customize this dialog and set our own title, message and button texts. Example code, GitHub link, instructions etc: ______________________________ Great books to learn Android development: Best equipment for long hours of coding: My recording equipment: Disclaimer: The links marked with ➣ are affiliate links.
