Ok thanks everyone for the advice. I just decided to suck it up and do it 
properly rather than hacking away and trying to modify :)

Tommy,

Another suggestion:

I guess you are already using a service, so update code using 
RemoteViews is already isolated in one place.

You could implement your own subclass of RemoteViews, override various 
methods for changing views, and instead directly update views in your 
activity.

Or perhaps make it prettier with a base Java interface, factories, etc. 
- but the main idea would still be the same. The weather update code 
would be taking to an object that in turn updates either remote views in 
a widget, or local views inside an activity.
