Android RemoteViews ​

RemoteViews such as home-screen widgets and custom notification views read resources and layouts from APK content. A normal incremental deployment may update only the runtime overlay, which system processes cannot read.

When to enable it ​

Enable the RemoteViews APK embedding mode when:

  • After changing a widget layout or custom notification layout, the change appears in the app but not in the system component.
  • A drawable, value, or layout used by RemoteViews does not update as expected.
  • You know the current changes must be written into APK content.

The entry point is in More Options:

Embedded to APK(for Android RemoteViews)

The first time you enable it, Jugg displays a confirmation dialog. Jugg then writes incremental changes into the APK and signs it again, which makes deployment slower.

Disable it afterward ​

Disable the option after verifying the RemoteViews scenario. Normal screen development usually does not require embedding every incremental change back into the APK.
