You can also monitor the logs from the IDE in release mode.
Oh, - now I've noticed the "#BridgeLogger" message, thanks Erel.
I think that I want a widget so that I can show changing information. But if a shortcut can do that then it might be suitable. I will read up on shortcuts.
Things which are generally obvious can be completely misunderstood by a novice like me. The following is what I believe I understand now but didn't 2 days ago.
When you write the code for a widget in your app it only tells the OS to add the representation of the widget to the widget list if it doesn't already exist. If for example you remove the widget from the list it will not remove instances of the widgets on the home screen, but starting the program again will replace it. When you actually add the widget to the home screen the OS creates a separate and simple object which doesn't have any of the code that the app has and which is not part of the app. Special methods have to be used in the app to communicate with it.
If that is incorrect please tell me anyone.
