Sorry, I didn't make my earlier point clear. An AppWidgetProvider is a BroadcastReceiver. That gives you two possibilities right off the bat: 1. Have it also handle whatever other Intents you were planning on setting up with a separate BroadcastReceiver, or 2. Send an Intent from whatever component you want to the AppWidgetProvider. In other words, don't worry about trying to talk directly to the app widget (which I suspect is impossible) -- just talk to your code that already talks to the app widget. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Need Android talent?
