Hopefully, you are using an IntentService with this, since you cannot reliably do network I/O from an AppWidgetProvider (which, under the covers, is a manifest-registered BroadcastReceiver). > It also seems like > the AlarmManager is not going to work. No, AlarmManager is your only choice. Either use that or don't bother with this feature. Update your app widget's RemoteViews when the alarm goes off. When the alarm period changes, have your alarm-handling logic cancel the existing alarm and schedule a new one. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
