Hi,
RSSmartWidgets is used in my AirWidgets app.
It lets your app hosts widgets as views so you can use it in your application (launcher, widget selection, etc)
For an example see here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootsoft.airwidgetslite
Documentation:
RSSmartWidgets
Author: XverhelstX
Version: 1
How to use:
You should call startlistening to start listening for updates on the given hostview, and stoplistening to stop.
Always remove your hostview when stopping or closing your application.
There are methods in it that you shouldn't use or doesn't have any purpose, because that is suited to my app.
Kind regards,
Tomas
