Yes, you just need to build the Intent correctly, either using a well-known action string with any needed data, or a strongly-named ComponentName. (The first approach of using generic action strings is by-far the preferred approach.) > At least would a widget on home screen be able to launch other > applications? Yes, you'd take the Intent you built above and wrap it into a PendingIntent to send across the RemoteViews to the widget. > Also can a widget on the (default) home screen receive swipe events > (before a touch event) ? Not in the default home screen. Actions like swiping and long-pressing are overloaded actions on the default home screen, so they aren't passed on to widgets. Also, there would be far too much overhead in passing each individual touch event across a PendingIntent. For now, the framework only offers onClick. -- Jeff Sharkey jshar...@android.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
