Frank I can see this working. However as my code is now, I use an imageView in the xml layout files to display my photo, however I don't point the xml file to the photo. I process the user selected photo, then save it to the SD card and then in code point the imageView to the file I just made. I save the photo file on the SD card using the widgetID in the name so that I know what photo belongs to what widget if there are multiple instances of the widget running. This prevents me from pointing the xml layout file to the photo as I don't know what it will be named until I get the widgetID at runtime. Any ideas?
