I am a little bit confused about the ComponentName class in Android. There are different ways to get to a component name object, but I don't know when to use which... and why! Example: Application package is de.zordid.sampleapp but widget provider class is de.zordid.sampleapp.widget.WidgetProvider Using ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("de.zordid.sampleapp.widget", "WidgetProvider"); I got this component info: ComponentInfo{de.zordid.sampleapp.widget/WidgetProvider} , but I could not use this - the component is unknown! But the JavaDoc says I should give the package and the class within that package - and that is what I did, didn't I?? Using ComponentName cn = new ComponentName(context, WidgetProvider.class); yields ComponentInfo{de.zordid.sampleapp/de.zordid.sampleapp.widget.WidgetProvider} - and that works fine!! There is even another way to get a ComponentName - by context and a string. Which one should be used where and when?? Thanks!
