That actually shouldn't be all that bad -- just disable the updates in ACTION_SCREEN_OFF (and onStop()) and re-enable them in ACTION_SCREEN_ON (and onStart()). It's another advantage that a replacement home screen has over app widgets -- you can find out when the home screen is no longer visible. App widgets could only find out about ACTION_SCREEN_ON and ACTION_SCREEN_OFF. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 In Print! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
