Hi,
I have a widget that displays detailed WiFi state (SSID, signal, etc).
It registers in the manifest to receive various android.net.wifi.*
notifications. So far so good.
However, these notifications are not sent if the home screen is side-
scrolled, or phone is screen-locked. This is good - improves battery time
and performance.
The bad side of this, though, is that since WiFi state can change while
the widget is not visible, I have to request frequent scheduled
updates in my <appwidget-provider> xml descriptor to bring the widget
completely up to date when it's scrolled into view or phone screen is
unlocked.
After the widget comes into view and is updated, further updates could
be driven again by android.net.wifi.* notifications, but scheduled
onUpdate()'s continue to run, which is a waste.
Is there a way to register my AppWidgetProvider for a smart one-tme
update when it's becomes visible, either after side-scrolling, or
after the screen is unlocked?
