I am probably looking for an RTFM pointer but maybe not...
1) I know how to create an APK that contains just an appwidget. But can
I create an APK that contains an appwidget AND a standalone app in
one downloadable package?
Yes, a package can contain as many components of various kinds as
needed: widgets, activities, services, receivers, etc. The only special
component is an activity marked for the launcher applications list.
There are implications for installToSd, so you may want to research that.
2) Users download my widget and then tell me it's not listed in their
list of downloaded application. This despite the fact that my app's
description in the MarketPlace clearly states that this is a widget
and that you must long-press on the homescreen, etc, etc. Assuming
there is way to #1, have people used that technique to create an app
that simply states "install the widget you moron!" (or words to that
effect?).
Yep, this used to happen to one of my apps. A lot.
Eventually, I implemented a launcher activity for my widget, almost
exactly like you describe, except used different wording and provided a
link to a web site that has visual step by step instructions on how to
add a widget.
Thanks
