Cancelling a PendingIntent

Question

When using a PendingIntent in an AppWidgetProvider, I\'m using the following code:

views.setOnClickPendingIntent( viewId,
                Pendin         


        

Answer 1

Where you want to cancel it, you would do the following (somewhere else in your code base):

PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 
                           PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT).cancel();

where intent is the same one as referenced in your code above. PendingIntent.getBroadcast(...) using the PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT will return a reference to the existing one already created, or create one if it doesn't currently exist.
