Well, an app widget still needs to be installed as part of *some* package (Market application from the user's view), so ...
... unless you have one mandatory (primary, hub type) application, I'd say, package the widget as a separate application, have all the non-widget ones check for it and prompt the user to install it ... ... and probably have the widget do the opposite - check for the other apps and tell the user about them. 07.10.2011 1:34 пользователь "Brad Gies" <rbg...@gmail.com> написал: > > I'm just wondering if anyone has any best practices advice for having a > common widget for several apps.
