Mark, thank you for your answer, especially on a Saturday.
Let me explain exactly what I am trying to do. Perhaps it is against the SDKs ethos and that's why my simple task seems so difficult to implement using the Android SDK. I have an AppWidget with one button. When this button is pressed the AppWidget makes a call to a web service and displays the returned result on a label. This I have done and it works great. What I am currently trying to do is add a second label which displays the "freshness" of this data: seconds old, minutes old, hours old, etc. This would seem like a very common scenario. I can think of 5 AppWidgets --off the top of my head-- that I want to create that will require this exact same mechanism. Can you help me create this mechanism? You have already explained that a Timer and TimerTask is not the correct approach. It also seems like the AlarmManager is not going to work. You seem like an Android expert, can you help me achieve my goal? Cathal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
