How to launch activity from android home screen widget

Question

I am desperately trying to get my head wrapped around how to implement home screen widgets. Right now, I (finally) was able to get a button on my widget respond to a button

Answer 1

Well, your app widget should already have a PendingIntent that you tied to the button. Instead of a PendingIntent that triggers a BroadcastReceiver, have it be a PendingIntent that starts up an Activity.
