Hi Sean
Thanks for that.
I had the ComponentName version of the updateAppWidget() method.
I now do this and the individual widgets update correctly:
// Build the widget update for today
RemoteViews remoteViews = buildUpdate(this, webServiceURL,
webServiceTemplate);
// Push update for this widget to the home screen
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance
(this);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, remoteViews);
Regards
Lyndon
