[android-developers] Re: Weird java.util.Timer behavior in App Widget

Mark,

I think you miss understood what I mean by a reference to my Widget.

Unless I am thinking about this incorrectly. The function onReceive
in the OnAlarmReceiver class needs to have a reference to the widget
instance, see the below code. How else can the OnReceive function know
how many times it has fired and change its firing rate accordingly?

public class OnAlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
MyWidget myWidget = SomeMagicFunction();

// Check myWidget.count to see how many times this alarm has fired.
if(myWidget.count == 60)
{
// We no longer want to fire once a second, we
now want to fire once a minute.
myWidget.alarmManager.cancel(myWidget.pi);

myWidget.alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME,
SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), 1000 * 60, myWidget.pi);
}
}
}

I have two questions.
1) Is this the correct approach? If not then what.
2) If so then how do I do the following MyWidget myWidget =
SomeMagicFunction()

Kind regards,
Cathal
