In my Widget I have a "dummy" configuration App that does as the
earlier poster said, it just runs, does some internal housekeeping
like setting up default preferences and returns the provided
AppWidgetId and RESULT_OK:
Intent resultValue = new Intent();
resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
appWidgetId);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);
It does not even inflate a layout, after setting the result it does a
finish(). It is an invisible configuration activity so that the user
gets the effect of the Widget appearing instantly after selecting it
for installation.
Are you saying that does not work?
