How to call onUpdate of an appwidget from another widget

Question

In my app I have got two different appwidgets. Both show and edit the same value.

Both widgets are working fine. My question is: how can I call the onUpdate of the second widget when I edited the value in the first one? Thank you for the answers!

Answer 1

I solved my problem by using different broadcasts for each widget. This should be the easiest solution.

Answer 2

See this link

Call the updateAppWidget method of the AppWidgetManager passing in the Widget ID of the widget you want to update and the RemoteViews to update it to.
