I'm trying to build a custom clock AppWidget, one that I can't base off of the standard AnalogClock or DigitalClock. I'm doing my best to keep its updates lightweight, but nonetheless, it needs to update once a minute. The TIME_TICK broadcast action seems the obvious way to go about it - but as the docs state, "You can not receive this through components declared in manifests, only by exlicitly registering for it with Context.registerReceiver()." Problem is, I can't use Context.registerReceiver() in the AppWidget, because it's a BroadcastReceiver itself.
Anyone have an idea how I might get TIME_TICK in an AppWidget, or another way to get an update each minute? I considered the updatePeriodMillis attribute in the provider XML, but that won't let me sync the update to the minute-changeover, it would only trigger an update at some time during the minute. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
