I would hope most APKs with app widgets also have applications as well, or at least an icon in the launcher to allow you to configure the widget. You can see here an example of an app widget that also has an icon in the launcher: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/AppWidget/TwitterWidget/ If that does not answer your question, could you be a bit more specific about what problems you are encountering? -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
