<h2 id="lockscreen">Enabling App Widgets on the Lockscreen</h2>
756
+
757
+
<p>Android 4.2 introduces the ability for users to add widgets to the lock screen. To indicate that your app widget is available for use on the lock screen, declare the {@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo#widgetCategory android:widgetCategory} attribute in the XML file that specifies your {@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo}. This attribute supports two values: "home_screen" and "keyguard". An app widget can declare support for one or both.</p>
758
+
759
+
<p>By default, every app widget supports placement on the Home screen, so "home_screen" is the default value for the
760
+
{@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo#widgetCategory android:widgetCategory} attribute. If you want your app widget to be available for the lock screen, add the "keyguard" value:</p>
<p>If you declare a widget to be displayable on both keyguard (lockscreen) and home, it's likely that you'll want to customize the widget depending on where it is displayed. For example, you might create a separate layout file for keyguard vs. home. The next step is to detect the widget category at runtime and respond accordingly.
769
+
770
+
You can detect whether your widget is on the lockscreen or home screen by calling
to get the widget's options as a {@link android.os.Bundle}. The returned bundle will include the key
773
+
{@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager#OPTION_APPWIDGET_HOST_CATEGORY}, whose value will be one of {@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo#WIDGET_CATEGORY_HOME_SCREEN} or
774
+
{@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo#WIDGET_CATEGORY_KEYGUARD}. This value is determined by the host into which the widget is bound. In the {@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider}, you can then check the widget's category, for example:</p>
<p>Once you know the widget's category, you can optionally load a different base layout, set different properties, and so on. For example:</p>
789
+
790
+
<pre>
791
+
int baseLayout = isKeyguard ? R.layout.keyguard_widget_layout : R.layout.widget_layout;
792
+
</pre>
793
+
794
+
795
+
<p>You should also specify an initial layout for your app widget when on the lock screen with the
796
+
{@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo#initialKeyguardLayout android:initialKeyguardLayout} attribute. This works the same way as the
797
+
{@link android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo#initialLayout android:initialLayout}, in that it provides a layout that can appear immediately until your app widget is initialized and able to update the layout.</p>

<h3 id="lockscreen-sizing">Sizing guidelines</h3>
800
+
801
+
<p>When a widget is hosted on the lockscreen, the framework ignores the {@code minWidth}, {@code minHeight}, {@code minResizeWidth}, and {@code minResizeHeight} fields. If a widget is also a home screen widget, these parameters are still needed as they're still used on home, but they will be ignored for purposes of the lockscreen.</p>
802
+
803
+
<p>The width of a lockscreen widget always fills the provided space. For the height of a lockscreen widget, you have the following options:</p>
804
+
805
+
<ul>
806
+
<li>If the widget does not mark itself as vertically resizable ({@code android:resizeMode="vertical"}), then the widget height will always be "small":
807
+
<ul>
808
+
<li>On a phone in portrait mode, "small" is defined as the space remaining when an unlock UI is being displayed.</li>
809
+
<li>On tablets and landscape phones, "small" is set on a per-device basis.</li>
810
+
</ul>
811
+
</li>
812
+
<li>If the widget marks itself as vertically resizable, then the widget height shows up as "small" on portrait phones displaying an unlock UI. In all other cases, the widget sizes to fill the available height.</li>
