I believe only the same application can push updates to a widget. I
know I wouldn't want other apps to be able to send updates to my
widget directly.
The proper approach would be to handle it with your AppWidgetProvider
subclass (remember this is simply a BroadcastReceiver with some help
for wid
a simple solution is to have a local sqlite db to access from both the
apps... if u r using intents to start 1 app from another, then u can bundle
the data via intents!
hope this helps.
cheers!

Is there a way to push an update to a widget from another activity?
It seems like in order to use the AppWidgetManager.updateAppWidget
method, it has to be within the widget code itself? Can i push an
update to the widget from the app personally? I tried this and it
didn't do anything

I've got a related question (or i'm not getting this right). The way i
see it, onReceive can be used to handle interface events, but what
pending intent do i need to attach to a button so that onReceive can
be triggered?
Thanks,

First, remember that PendingIntents may not be unique w.r.t extra
bundles, which is why you want to use the setData() Uri.
In the Activity or Service that you trigger with the PendingIntent,
you can use getIntent().getData() to read back the Uri used to launch
it, which includes any data you set
Ok.
But how to find the id to join it in the intent?
When i update my widget, i do :
updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget, pendingIntent);
the pendingintent has an extra value with the widget id. How to get
the widget id?

When building the widget update, you can pack the appWidgetId into the
PendingIntent. Through the setData() Uri usually works best.

Hello,
I have a widget like the jeff's example.
And i don't understand how to identify each widget (same type).
getAppWidgetIds() returns a tab, how to catch the good id when i touch
mywidget 1 or mywidget 2?
Do you know a solution?

That's true, but notice that his service has no dependency on the class
implementing the onUpdate method, in principal anything in the application
could invoke that service. You'll find the app widget ids available via the
getAppWidgetIds() on AppWidgetManager.

In Jeff's example, the service is started from his onUpdate method,
which is called by AppWidgetProvider. This is different from what I'd
like to do, I'd like to push an update to the widget from inside my
activity, but with the correct int[] values.

Yes, you can push updates to your widgets any time by obtaining an
AppWidgetManager.
Jeff Sharkey posted an example that performs an update within a Service. It
includes this code that might help.
// Push update for this widget to the home screen
ComponentName thisWidget =
15 matches
