Kostya,
Thanks. That worked like a charm.
I noticed in sample AppWidget code that does not use a service, that it
iterates the appWidgetIds array so that it updates all instances of the
widget. However, in sample code that uses a Service, that iteration is
not done. Is that because it is not needed for some reason? How would
one update multiple instances using a service-based solution?
Thanks.
