Reader Feedback: Missing Code! Creating Android Widgets

Not all of the feedback we get is from our books. We write articles for numerous sites around the net and in print form. On most of these systems, we don't have a good way of updating or changing the article once it's posted. Recently, we came across an issue where a series of articles lost their download links for the source code. This series was written back in October of 2009 and discussed creating widgets for Android on the then-new Android 1.5.

We have moved all of the widget tutorial code to Google Code hosting so it should stick around for longer.  The tutorials are still available from developer.com:

• Creating a Home Screen App Widget on Android
• Handling User Interaction with Android App Widgets
• Handling Lengthy Operations with Android App Widgets
