Well, presumably, you want to change what the widget looks like from time to time. If you have a compelling widget that does not need to change, or you are changing it based on other criteria, set your updatePeriodMillis value in your widget metadata to 0, and I believe it will never get updated automatically. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
