Thanks Mark for your answer, maybe I didn't make myself very clear, the widget is the application, when added to home screen it launches a configuration activity to let the user set his/her preferences, after that's done it will run a service updating the widget. If you click the widget you will go to the actual app and do stuff with it... The thing is that I also want the user to be able to choose between adding having the widget feature on the home screen(by menu/add/ widgets/theAppAsWidget... ) or just the static app(by menu/add/ shortcut/program/theApp... ), maybe they have enough services running on the backgroung and do not want another as it will use more battery. I have seen this used on many apps and I thing is good to implemented as battery life on these phones is not great.
Thanks again Alberto PD: By the way I have read your book(the advance) and is really good, are you publishing a new one soon? :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
