Chris, You have a MAIN/LAUNCHER intent filter for your widget configuration activity.
This marks it as the entry point into your application, and it will be shown in the application drawer (Launcher). Is this what you really want? If it's launched like this (as opposed to when you go through creating your widget on the home screen), it won't have any widget specific action or extras. Launching for debugging from Eclipse will also start this activity using MAIN/LAUNCHER, and it won't have any widget specific stuff either. -- Kostya 2011/6/5 chris <[email protected]> > Hello, > > I have been trying to implement an application that uses the > ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE action to configure an app when it is first > installed. > > I have been using the discussion at > http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#Configuring > as a reference to accomplish this. > > The problem is that the onStart() process of the configuration > activity does not ever receive an ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE.
