There are Wifi-specific broadcast actions you can register your widget for, and only update when there is a change. Thesw include: a change in signal level, connection state, etc.
This way your code can avoid burning through the battery and still display the information you want. Also, take a look here: http://kmansoft.wordpress.com/sw 29.05.2010 1:53 пользователь "Dirk Vranckaert" <[email protected]> написал: I think String is right about that. I wouldn't do that either just to save battery life! However I think it is better to set the update interval of the applet to a high enough amount of time (like 24 hours or sth) and just update the widget manually. I'm currently working on a widget to and in my case the widget only receives an update upon clicking a certain button. The way I do that is like this: RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), WIDGET); rv.setTextViewText(R.id.textField, "Updated value for some text on the widget"); ComponentName cn = new ComponentName(context, YourActivity.class); AppWidgetManager mgr = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context); mgr.updateAppWidget(cn, rv); That should basically work to update a widget. Oh and one tip: using the this method you should do all updating just after the line "rv.setTextViewText(...)". If you execute this entire block a few times after each other you can get into troubles when updating the widget.
