1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,220
We've just finished setting up our
RemoteViews factory, which remember,

2
00:00:04,220 --> 00:00:06,840
is just an adapter for remote use.

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,970
That's also why we decided
to call it WidgetAdapter.

4
00:00:09,970 --> 00:00:13,310
But now we need to hook up our
WidgetAdapter to our widget.

5
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:16,790
And since both of these things are dealing
with RemoteViews that will be living

6
00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:21,950
inside another application, Android's got
a special way that we need to handle this.

7
00:00:21,950 --> 00:00:26,360
Basically, we need to get an instance of
our WidgetAdapter from within someone

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,330
else's application,
which really complicates things.

9
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:35,000
I mean, sure, the other application could
just instantiate our widget after but

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,830
then it would be created
with the wrong context.

11
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:40,220
So we wouldn't be able to do much with it.

12
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:41,280
To solve this problem,

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,500
we're going to create a service that
can return a new WidgetAdapter.

14
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:49,530
Then, instead of directly setting
our WidgetAdapter on our widget,

15
00:00:49,530 --> 00:00:53,000
we can just use an intent
to point to our service.

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,210
This way, our widget can get its adapter
even from within another application.

17
00:00:58,210 --> 00:01:01,240
It will just use that intent
to start up our service and

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,275
retrieve that WidgetAdapter.

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,890
Back in the code,
let's create a new class for

20
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:08,065
our service that will
return a WidgetAdapter.

21
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:11,065
And let's name it WidgetService.

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,100
Then, Android's gone ahead and
created a specialized service just for

23
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:17,310
this occasion.

24
00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:22,777
So let's just extend
the RemoteViewsService class.

25
00:01:22,777 --> 00:01:26,551
And then use Alt+Enter to
implement the one required method.

26
00:01:26,551 --> 00:01:31,230
And now all we need to do is return
a new instance of our WidgetAdapter.

27
00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:36,667
So instead of returning null,
let's return new WidgetAdapter.

28
00:01:36,667 --> 00:01:39,971
And for the context,
we can just pass in this.

29
00:01:39,971 --> 00:01:42,191
Last but not least,
since this is a service,

30
00:01:42,191 --> 00:01:45,690
we're going to need to
declare it in our manifest.

31
00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:49,620
Let's add some space below
our last receiver tag, and

32
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:52,276
then add a new entry for our service.

33
00:01:52,276 --> 00:01:54,830
And accept WidgetService for the name.

34
00:01:54,830 --> 00:02:01,256
Next, to prevent other apps from being
able to access our widget's data,

35
00:02:01,256 --> 00:02:05,846
we need to add
the android:permission attribute and

36
00:02:05,846 --> 00:02:11,559
set it equal to
"android.permission.BIND_REMOTEVIEWS",

37
00:02:11,559 --> 00:02:16,280
which is also below in
the teacher's notes.

38
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,550
Then let's close our service tag.

39
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:21,298
And now we're finally ready to
add our adapter to our widget.

40
00:02:21,298 --> 00:02:23,885
Over in WidgetProvider let's

41
00:02:23,885 --> 00:02:28,864
add a few lines below where we
initialize our RemoteViews.

42
00:02:28,864 --> 00:02:31,500
And then let's create a new intent
variable pointing to our service.

43
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:40,154
Intent, and
we'll call it serviceIntent = New intent.

44
00:02:40,154 --> 00:02:42,099
And pass in a context.

45
00:02:42,099 --> 00:02:49,170
And for the class, we wanna pass in our
service class, Widgetservice.class.

46
00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:54,093
On the next line,
let's add our adapter to our list view by

47
00:02:54,093 --> 00:02:57,823
typing remoteViews.setRemoteAdapter.

48
00:02:57,823 --> 00:03:04,611
And then for the viewId, let's pass in
the idea of our list view R.id.listView.

49
00:03:04,611 --> 00:03:07,570
And then let's pass along
our serviceIntent as well.

50
00:03:07,570 --> 00:03:12,680
And now, if we run the app again,
we can see that we've got our list.

51
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,118
Though, let me make these a little bigger,
so they are easier to see.

52
00:03:23,747 --> 00:03:28,240
And if we click on them, we can click on
the buttons and scroll them up and down.

53
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,350
But it looks like we've lost
the ability to change color.

54
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,730
In the next video,
we'll find out where the color went and

55
00:03:36,730 --> 00:03:38,720
learn about how we can
interact with our list widget.
