Hi Jeff, I am interested in this approach you mentioned here, but I'm having some difficulty implementing it. I currently have 2 widgets with different sizes (large and small). Both widgets will be sharing 1 service in charge of updating the widgets contents accordingly. Each widget's onUpdate will call to start my service. My question would be, how can I get the appWidgetId of the widget that is calling the service to start? This is the only problem I'm having right now. Once I get the appWidgetId, I can easily determine which widget should the service updating based on the appWidgetInfo of the calling widget.
Please help me out with this, I published my widget to the market and some people have complained of ANRs which is why it's important for me to move my update logic to the service.
