Reopening this issue... rather than showing a help screen with instructions on how to install an appwidget, I'd really like to include an "Install Widget" button on my main activity. Anyone have any clues on how to make that happen? I tried firing off an ACTION_APPWIDGET_PICK intent, but that always seems to NPE. I suspect I don't have the extras right, but OTOH, reading the docs it doesn't sound like exactly what I want anyway.
