So how about getting your AppWidgetProvider or your BroadcastReciever
to pick up "android.intent.action.TIME_TICK". This way widgets can
update as often as every minute if they so wish?
// Manifest file
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.TIME_TICK" />
</intent-filter>
// AppWidgetProvider/Broadcast reciever
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
final String action = intent.getAction();
if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_TIME_TICK)) {
// Do something
}
}
Any thoughts?
