You'd need to arrange for some sort of communication between the two apps, so the app widget would have access to whatever information its needs. And users would have to download/install the app widget APK separately from your main application APK. So, it's a bit of a pain for all involved, but it would allow you to have the main APK installable to the SD card. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
