You could port OpenXWidget to work with home screen widgets.

Its code structure is very close to what's needed - it does its work in a separate thread and updates the UI as needed.

Take a look at Wiktionary sample in Android SDK. It also does an asynch fetch from the Web and updates the widget with the results.

That is correct, not the best of names for something that is an
extension of ImageView rather than a widget. I knew that going in,
however I was unaware that displaying a user defined view subclass
(like OpenXWidget) in my own widget is not possible.

Unfortunately nothing is ever as easy as I'd hope, time to try and
find a work around :)

The class I'm using is OpenXWidget, does anyone here have experience

wouldn't work in my Widget?
It seems that OpenXWidget is well, not a widget.

It is a View subclass, and can be used in your application within a
regular layout.

However, it's not an Android home screen widget.
