Thanks for continued help. I now have two items, a status-bar app which calculates speed limit, and a widget which [should] receive the new speed limit(s).
I don't think I can use ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE outside the widget?? Any comments welcomed. jp --------status bar app------------- Uri uri = Uri.parse("55"); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE, uri); sendBroadcast(intent); --------widget app------------------ <receiver android:name=".WordWidget" android:label="@string/widget_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider" android:resource="@xml/widget_word" /> </receiver> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
