Kostya, Gee, I hope I'm not revealing my ignorance here...
I build my RemoteViews in an IntentService. I suppose I have to find a way to pass the widgetid into the Intent that is used to start the service. If the service knows the widgetid, it can putExtra that widgetid into the Intent used to start the Preference Activity. So now the question is how to get widgetid ID from the AppWidgetProvider to the IntentService. onUpdate() is passed the appWidgetIds that need to be updated. I, however, do not use that method for anything. Instead, I use alarms to trigger my updates since I am updating every 60 seconds in one instance or every 24 hours in another. Currently my alarms send an Intent that is processed by the AppWidgetProvider's onReceive() method. That method does not get a widgetid. Any idea how I can get the set of widgetids to be updated if Android has no passed it to me in onUpdate? ...Jake >>>>> "KV" == Kostya Vasilyev <[email protected]> writes: KV> Jake, KV> You have the widget id where you're building your RemoteViews and KV> setting the PendingIntent for the click.
