Kostya, Hmmmmmm.
Whenever the alarm in AppWidgetProvider is triggered, I have to update all widget instances as per the widget-specific preference. Based on what you have suggested, does the following make sense: 1) In the AppWidgetProvider's onReceive() method when it receives the intent from the alarm, it cycles through all valid widgetids and starts the service with an intent containing that widgetid. Actually, I can just invoke with service once with an intent containing the list of all valid widgetids. 2) The service cycles through the list of widgetids and updates each widget's remoteview using the widget-specific preference. I didn't check it just now but I'm sure I can get each widget's RemoteView and update each one separately. 3) I currently set the remoteview's onClickPendingIntent in the service. Which means I am setting it up every time the service updates the remoteview. Is that really the best way to do it? Can I set the remoteview's onClickPendingIntent in the AppWidgetProvider or, since the AppWidgetProvider regularly gets destroyed I cannot do it there? ...Jake >>>>> "KV" == Kostya Vasilyev <kmans...@gmail.com> writes: KV> Jake, KV> You can get a list of widget ids by doing something like: KV> AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = KV> AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context); KV> ComponentName provider = new ComponentName(context, Widget.class); KV> int[] widgets = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(provider); KV> This widget id list need to be filtered for "stale" ones.
