What’s the best way of getting input from appwidget. I know that I can use setOnClickPendingIntent method from RemoteViews, but I don’t want that! Is there any alternative ways ?
P.S. When i’m trying to register onClick listener in Xml (<ImageView android:onClick="myHandler" ... />) it’s throws an exception.

    I know that I can use setOnClickPendingIntent method from RemoteViews, but I don’t want that!

    You do not have a choice. It is your only input option through API Level 10 (Gingerbread).

    For API Level 11 and higher (Honeycomb, etc.), you can create app widgets that contain ListView, GridView, and StackView. For those, you can provide another PendingIntent that will be invoked when items in the list (or grid or stack) are clicked. This will work similarly to setOnClickPendingIntent().
