I asked the same question some time back and the answer I received was that there is no way to detect if your widget is visible, or currently shown on the home screen.

I would like to run some code to resize the image so that everything displays correctly and it uses all the space that I allot. What is the correct way to do this? I can think of 2 methods however both seem inefficient. The first would be to register a broadcast reciever to take orientation changes, however I don't want to redo my appwidget everytime the phone is turned on its side as the majority of the time the homescreen is not showing when the orientation is changed (ie other apps are used, and I don't need my code running in the background). I only need it to run when the home screen is shown. The second would be to setup a service to manage my appwidget but that also seems inefficient to be always running in the background. What is correct method to do this? Thanks, - Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
