[android-beginners] Re: Communication between AppWidgetProvider and Configuration Activity
Justin, thanks. But doesn't that still leave me with the same problem?
IE, if WidgetConfiguration.java creates the SharedPreferences objet,
how does it pass that object back to the code running in Widget.java?

[android-beginners] Re: Communication between AppWidgetProvider and Configuration Activity
Well isn't that spiffy. In that case, if I'm understanding everything
correctly, I guess I would just put the read code in onUpdate() and
then request an update at the end of my configuration? (Or is there a
more elegant way to call specific code in Widget.java?

[android-beginners] Re: Communication between AppWidgetProvider and Configuration Activity
Justin, Counterintuitively, onUpdate() isn't called after the config activity. >From >http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#Configuring: "The onUpdate() method will not be called when the App Widget is created (the system will not send the ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE broadcast when a configuration Activity is launched). It is the responsibility of the configuration Activity to request an update from the AppWidgetManager when the App Widget is first created. However, onUpdate() will be called for subsequent updates—it is only skipped the first time." I'll see what I can come up with if I try SharedPreferences. Thanks!

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Communication between AppWidgetProvider and Configuration Activity
You will have to have some form of default value for this to work, but here
is how I do it:
When I want to read from SharedPreferences I do this:
SharedPreference prefMgr =
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
m_curPage = prefMgr.getInt(getString(R.string.wgt_pref_cur_screen_key), 0);
When I want to write to it I do this:
SharedPreference prefMgr =
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
Editor editor = m_prefMgr.edit();
editor.putInt(this.getString(R.string.wgt_pref_cur_screen_key), m_curPage);
editor.commit();
You don't actually pass an object. SharedPreferences essentially abstracts
out reading to and writing from a file

Justin

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Communication between AppWidgetProvider and Configuration Activity
I've never used the widget configuration, but if my memory serves me
correctly, you shouldn't need to request an update at the end of your
configuration activity...
Isn't the widget's onUpdate() method called by default by Android after the
configuration activity finishes?
Thanks,
Justin
