The shortcut and app point to different starting points ;-) Thanks all for holding my hand. jp public class ExampleBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String action = intent.getAction(); if (action.equals("org.jamesp.gpscruise.UpdateWidgetAction")) ... public class StatusBarNotifications extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //Uri uri = Uri.parse("55"); //Intent intent = new Intent("org.jamesp.gpscruise.UpdateWidgetAction", uri); Intent intent = new Intent("org.jamesp.gpscruise.UpdateWidgetAction"); sendBroadcast(intent); <receiver android:name=".appwidget.ExampleBroadcastReceiver" android:enabled="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="org.jamesp.gpscruise.UpdateWidgetAction" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> ---------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
