show spinner before adding widget android

Question

For a widget I am creating for the Android OS, I want the user to first select a certain option from a Spinner. Just like when you add a shortcut to the homescreen.

Is that possible or do you have to start an Activity? If it is possible, can anyone explain how to do it?

Answer 1

Spinner widgets do not exist on their own -- you have to have them in an Activity. Android's app widget framework supports the notion of a configuration activity that is automatically launched when somebody chooses your widget. Just put your Spinner in there.
