How to disable Widget updatePeriodMillis?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how I can disable the update period on my widgets? I don't need this particular feature. I'm just fine with the widget calling onUpdate when added that's it...

Just don't include it in your xml and it won't autoupdate, or set it to 0.

Thanks, yes setting to 0 seems to be the way to go! Thanks again! – Jona Apr 12 '11 at 22:44

In my case, omitting this property prevented the widget from showing up in the widgets drawer. – IgorGanapolsky Oct 09 '12 at 00:13
