Right, that wouldn't have an effect because your inflated layout is a completely different copy from the one inflated by the home screen.
Also, I noticed that your using "putExtra" in your PendingIntents. Be sure to use the FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT flag when calling getActivity() to make sure your extras are updated correctly. And be aware that you can only have one set of extras for any given PendingIntent action+data+category+component pair. If you're trying to change the background of a button, you could use this slightly-hacky approach: set the button background to a leveled drawable, and then use setDrawableParameters() to change the level and show the desired background. You'd probably want to keep the number of layers to a minimum to keep it speedy. j On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 3:40 AM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks for your reply Jeff, > > Turns out what I really needed to do here was learn how Intent based > programming on Android works and how to actually implement it!
