POHow to Launch an Android AppWidget's configuration Activity from another activity?
text
Body
copied!<p>Well this is driving me crazy. I have developed an App-widget. Everything is working fine.</p> <p>I have a configuration activity which launches every time a widget is added on the home screen and works beautiful. I save the user settings per widget id etc.</p> <p>The widget has some buttons, one of them launches an activity with about information, the "About Activity".</p> <p>The "About Activity" has a button which I want to use to launch the configuration activity for the widget id that launched the "About Activity". The reason I want to do that is because I want the user to be able to configure the contents of any instance of my widget without having it removed and added again (in order to launch the configuration activity).</p> <p>The configuration activity needs the AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID in order to make the job (save the user settings for this specific widgetid) so I must somehow pass this extra when I 'm calling it from another activity. The obvious think to do is this:</p> <pre><code>startActivity(new Intent(context,act_configure.class).putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, ??? )); </code></pre> <p>Now my question is where is the widgetid? I found a million ways to get the widgetids (the array) but not a single clue on how to get the specific widgetid which launched the "About Activity"</p> <p>Any help about this will make the hours I spent to find a solution, worth something. Thank you in advance.</p> <p>p.s. Please forgive my English as they are not my native language... </p>
