Developing an app widget, while not terribly hard, is not what I would recommend as a starting project. Make an ordinary Android application first, then convert it to an app widget later. So, you can start with Hello, World: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html and work your way up from there.

You can control volume streams from SDK applications like an app widget. Here is some code that demonstrates working with AudioManager to manipulate volume levels: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/SystemServices/Volume/ -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Intro plus question :)
Hello Group, I just joined this group to help myself learn more about developing on my andriod evo phone. My first project is to develope a widget to silence the alarm volume. I was just wondering if this would be possible before I actaully jump in and start learning to program android apps. Thank you much for your support!
