MM> http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/Wiktionary/index.html MM> https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-andtutorials/tree/master/25-AdvWebKit/Patchy Is there a difference in how I find my appwidget for updating because I switched to an IntentService? In my onHandleIntent() method I am creating my RemoteViws object and updating the appwidget as follows: RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(this.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget); ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName(this,ZMAppWidget.class); AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this); manager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, remoteViews); Any reason why this would be incorrect? -- Jake Colman -- Android Tinkerer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
