I want to create a little widget which displays a green bulb if there is network connectivity and a red bulb if there is none.
Design: a) register a BroadcastReceiver to listen for network connectivity events b) If the receiver receives a network down/up event, it will notify the NetworkUptimeWidget to update itself. Questions: 1) It looks like I will have to duplicate the code in every activity to listen for updates (I am already using the include element to share the XML declarations for NetworkUptimeWidget ). Is there any way to avoid this ? 2) I am currently using the ContentObserver to notify the widget about changes. Obviously that was meant for database providers. Is it wrong to use it like a publish/subscribe method in the general sense ? Thanks Gavin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
