When the user taps the appwidget I want to give him a choice of which of two activities to display: the configuration (preferences) activity, or one that displays some relevant information. Is there a better way to do this? Did I misunderstand (quite possible) something about how do this in Android? Should I pursue your suggestion of an invisible activity or is there a more direct way to get what I am looking for?
