I am not sure if I follow... I am building the widget without using the maps library, because only a limited number of views are permitted anyway. This means running the widget in a separate process would be perfectly fine. I assume this is not happening by default (i.e. after user started the widget) - is there a setting in the Android manifest that would identify the widget as a standalone process? Or does the Intent to start the Activity (that uses the maps library) have to specify that the Activity shall be launched in a separate process?
