Re: How to use widget on lockscreen?
It should just show up when you go to unlock your screen, it is to be in the widgets section of your phone or tablet. Just add it to screen as other widgets.

I'm not getting anything either and i did with the other player i tried that had a lockscreen widgit so i know its set up to do this? Maybe mma needs an reboot of the device before it will work?

Re: How to use widget on lockscreen?
nope reboot doesn't solve the issue.
the widget of apollo player (no option to activate as well) works perfectly, playerpro has an option and works also (if activated of course)...
is the widget part of the systems music control or is it a separate widget?

Re: How to use widget on lockscreen?
Note that the current implementation works on Android 4.2+ only, since this is the first time when Android natively supports this feature. Until 4.2 lock screens had to be implemented as an hack. We'll probably implement this later as well, but most likely not for version 1.0.

Re: How to use widget on lockscreen?
thanks jiri for this info hope to see the feature later on...
for the time being i have a workaround for everybody below android 4.2:
just use widgetlocker and place the mma widget on the lockscreen...
cheers

@jiri
since we can use the usual widget on the lockscreen, would it be hard to make rating of songs possible within the widget? thanks in advance!

Re: How to use widget on lockscreen?
Not wise, in my opinion. There's plenty of users still running below Jellybean that are going to expect this from the player. Every other player app that I have tried for my phone (including the stock player) has this functionality. Not including it in the launch release I feel has the potential of turning off some users.jiri wrote:We'll probably implement this later as well, but most likely not for version 1.0.
Re: How to use widget on lockscreen?
Yeah I second this.
Every player out there has this for below 4.2 as well.

are you aware of that 90% of the stuff you write makes absolutely no sense?!? or is it just me (as a non native speaker) who doesn't understand it ?rovingcowboy wrote:Yep thanks jiri.

Re: How to use widget on lockscreen?
i really would like to hear it from a native one if everything of your writings is clear to him (see pm)rovingcowboy wrote:Non native speaker? Umm? That must be it !!!
if thats the case i'll take the blame
Re: How to use widget on lockscreen?
Nah. Dont worry, i am using my cowboy to English dictionary as well. And I grew up in Brooklyn.
Come to think of it, that may actually be another issue altogether.
