Passing Integer from Android Home Screen Widget to an Activity opened by the Android Home Screen

Question

Hi,

How can we pass Android Home Screen Widget info ( putExtra maybe ) to an Activity.. What particular method callback will handle this one?

Answer 1

Use putIntExtra() on the Intent you place in the PendingIntent.

seems that when I place putIntExtra on the Intent, it doesnt update it properly

Try using FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT when you create your PendingIntent.
