[android-developers] Know if your widget is on the homescreen

[Albert]

Hi there,

Is there a way to know if there is an instance of your widget
currently on the homescreen? I always end up using variables that
change state with onUpdate() and onDeleted()  calls, but that
obviously that isn't effective in every scenario.

Thanks in advance

Alberto

The AppWidgetProvider is notified on every add and remove operation,
along with first-add and last-remove operations.

Or, you can ask your AppWidgetManager getAppWidgetIds().
