Most "clock widgets" are actually features of the home screen app, in which case they can only update themselves when they are in the foreground. For actual app widgets that implement a clock, hopefully they use a non-_WAKEUP AlarmManager alarm, so they update themselves while the device is on but leave the device alone when it is in sleep mode, or something like that. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Aqui estão alguns sites onde você pode perguntar ou responder dúvidas sobre desenvolvimento de aplicações para Android: http://www.andglobe.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
