Video description
Customizing the widget update interval is one of the most useful skills in Android development. Standard widgets have a minimum of a 30-minute update interval. It helps developers add background tasks for widget updates, so this video explains how to update at the desired time interval (even lower than 30 minutes). Also, with background service the widget can download online data and update at specific time.
What You'll Learn
- Create a simple widget
- Show widget on the screen
- Create background task
- Update widget at custom interval with alarm manager
People with more advanced skills in Android Studio and Java are targeted but the video will be useful for total beginners as well.
