If you want to start an app and only start an app, you should just put
a shortcut to the app on your home screen. If its an individual
activity you wanted to start, you could do something similar to this:
public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider {
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager
appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds)
context.startActivity( new Intent(context,
yourActivity.class) );
}
Though i would suggest using shortcuts, its what they are designed for
and you dont have to write a widget!
