To follow up on my own question, heres how I did it. I went from a service to an IntentService and in the onHandleIntent (Intent intent) I handle the update requests.
To get the individual id's I put them as an extra in the intent in the onRecieve() method in the widget, then fire them off to the IntentService with context.startService(i). Everything is working perfectly now. -theSmith On Jan 1, 10:12 pm, theSmith <chris.smith...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here is my issue, I want to be able to update a specific > AppWidgetProvider (home screen widget) from a custom service class.
