If you could take a look at this segment of code
final Intent intent = new Intent(context, WeatherWidgetService.class); intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetIds[i]); //******************************** //what is done here??? //******************************** intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME))); final RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout); rv.setRemoteAdapter(appWidgetIds[i], R.id.weather_list, intent); This code is taken from: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/WeatherListWidget/src/com/example/android/weatherlistwidget/WeatherWidgetProvider.html I understand what "toUri" does for an intent. However in this case 1. the intent is explicitly invoking a service component 2. The service component is free to choose the extra parameters from the intent 3. If so why set the "data" to itself??? Appeciate if you can throw some light on this Thanks Satya -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
