After following both of the Widget Tutorials and bashing my head in a few times, I finally have my own (just for my personal use) widget working.
Although, a couple of things did pop up.
I cannot get the widgets to refresh without using a timer. I am using 2.52, compiled for use in debug/release mode, tried on my S3 and SL, and have set the minutes value to 1, 2, 5, and 10... waiting for any type of refresh to occur... nada.
This is with using the original ConfigureHomeWidget call and the new one (with and without the CenterWidget boolean being passed)
-Update-
Did just get it working with the StartServiceAt call, and calling the RequestUpdate from there. But I did not see that anywhere in the tutorial text (did find it after looking through all the comments... d'oh)
Also, the Second tutorial is written with the older HTTPUtils library, would you like an update done for that tutorial, using the newer library? (Although easier, it still would be nice to see it using your latest and greatest tools)
