On a related note - can one refresh a widget.label or image that is not on the active page ? Same activity, but different page.

More specifically - if one refreshes a widget not on the active page (label, image, etc), does it actually refresh ? It does not generate an error, so it is legal to do so.

I have an activity where I'm using the rotary wheel to update a list. My code is all at the activity level. I carry the changes done to the list to widgets that are available on each of the pages. Basically, when idle, I preload some images, set the panel images and while I'm there, I set some button labels.

If I'm not on the page when the update is called, the panels and buttons don't seem to update.

Also, when returning to a page, the labels seem to be empty until I actively refresh them with data.

Is this expected? Still looking through docs to see if it's stated.
