I'd add some logging or breakpoints. Depending on how you are using AppWidgetManager from your service, it's also possible that the service is running but just not updating the app widget (e.g., you're using the ID-based app widget update and the ID changed). > So could it be that the notifications are "confused" between old and new > instances of the widget? That is decidedly possible. I haven't played around with supporting multiple app widgets much, so I have no idea how stable those app widget IDs are. If this is for your sunrise app widget from your other thread, unless you are supporting monitoring sunrise from multiple geographic locations, I would not worry about supporting multiple app widgets. Use the updateAppWidgets() that just takes a ComponentName and update the lot of 'em in one shot. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 2.3 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
