click listener on android widget Button not working

I'm working on an android project and created a widget for toggling Bluetooth (i.e., Pressing the widget turn on Bluetooth if turned off and vice versa). But the problem is that click listener of button is not working and when I click on the widget on the home screen it does nothing.
I do a lot of googling and tried almost all solutions but unfortunately nothing worked for me. I am unable to get the idea why my code is not working.
Here is the manifest file for project:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.gmail.redprince007.togglebluetooth" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<receiver android:name=".BluetoothToggle" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="#xml/bluetooth_toggle_info" />
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
And xml file for widget layout is:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="#dimen/widget_margin">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnToggleBluetooth"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/bluetooth_on" />
</RelativeLayout>
And AppWidget-proviver.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:initialKeyguardLayout="#layout/bluetooth_toggle"
android:initialLayout="#layout/bluetooth_toggle"
android:minHeight="40dp"
android:minWidth="40dp"
android:previewImage="#drawable/ic_bluetooth_icon"
android:updatePeriodMillis="0"
android:widgetCategory="home_screen|keyguard">
</appwidget-provider>
And BluetoothOnOff.Java Is:
public class BluetoothToggle extends AppWidgetProvider {
private static final String TAG = "BluetoothToggle";
private final String toggleBluetoothAction = "ToggleBluetooth";
#Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
Log.d(TAG, "onUpdate()");
// There may be multiple widgets active, so update all of them
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
Intent intent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, appWidgetIds[i], intent, 0);
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.bluetooth_toggle);
remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btnToggleBluetooth, pendingIntent);
updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds[i]);
}
}
#Override
public void onEnabled(Context context) {
Log.d(TAG, "onEnabled()");
// Enter relevant functionality for when the first widget is created
}
#Override
public void onDisabled(Context context) {
Log.d(TAG, "onDisabled()");
// Enter relevant functionality for when the last widget is disabled
}
static void updateAppWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int appWidgetId) {
Log.d(TAG, "updateAppWidget()");
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.bluetooth_toggle);
// Instruct the widget manager to update the widget
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
}
Thanks in advance for your reply and help. I spend a day to resolve the issue but all my effort went in vain.

So finally I solve the problem after searching for two days. Here is the correct code:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, BluetoothToggle.class);
intent.setAction(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE);
intent.putExtra(AppWi‌​dgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS, appWidgetIds);
intent.putExtra(toggleBluetoothAction, toggleBluetoothAction);
And here is the onReceive() method which is called every time I clicked on the widget.
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if (bundle != null && bundle.getString(toggleBluetoothAction) != null)
{
// My Logic
}
}
Take a look at the intent setAction and putExtra, which are useful in my case to solve the problem. I checked many website but most of them didn't include this piece of code to make widget clickable. All they did is to create an Intent and then immediately create a PendingIndent. I did the same but nothing helped me in any way.
Thanks.

AppWidget with collection - can`t run Config Activity when clicking on widget

I have got the issue that is very popular on Stackoverflow and there are a lot of recipes how to fix it. But unfortunately, all of them don`t fit me.
I created appWidget with collection (StackView), added ConfigActivity for configuration and permanent update mechanism with assigned time interval. Widget is displayed in a proper way, update works fine but when I want to run Config Activity and click on widget - nothing happens!
Maybe, I've missed some important details and hope you'll suggest me. Here are some of code snippets:

As I understand the point is in the method addWidgetListener
private static void addWidgetListener(Context context, int appWidgetId, RemoteViews widget) {
Intent intent = new Intent(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME)));
PendingIntent runConfigActivity = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
widget.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget_container, runConfigActivity);
}
but I have no idea what's wrong...

After some investigation I came to a conclusion that if I use collection in appWidget and want to open Config Activity tapping on whole widget container that the best practice is using setPendingIntentTemplate method, even if you dont't want to handle item click but the whole list instead (list container).
private static void addWidgetListener(Context context, int appWidgetId, RemoteViews widget) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ConfigActivity.class);
intent.setAction(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE);
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME)));
PendingIntent runConfigActivity = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
widget.setPendingIntentTemplate(R.id.widget_list, runConfigActivity);
}
and add 2 lines in WidgetFactory in method getViewAt(int position)
Intent intent = new Intent();
views.setOnClickFillInIntent(R.id.widget_item_container, intent);

Any genius who'd like to help..really appriciate the help..Thanks..

your onUpdate is never called since you overriden the onReceive method.

Widget doesn't launch service when being clicked

I'm creating a widget for my app but it refuses to work.
This widget launching an configuration activity when it's being created, and when you click it, it should start a IntentService I've created.
But when I click it, it doesn't start the service! I tried to change this pending intent to an intent that would launch Google and it works.
Some code:
AppWidgetProvider XML
<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:configure="com.eladaharon.android.lary.widget.LaryWidgetConfigurationActivity"
android:initialLayout="#layout/widget_1x1"
android:minHeight="72dp"
android:minWidth="72dp"
android:updatePeriodMillis="86400000" >
</appwidget-provider>
Manifest declaration
<activity
android:name=".widget.LaryWidgetConfigurationActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:enabled="true" android:name="widget.LaryWidgetCheckService" />
<!-- Broadcast Receiver that will process AppWidget updates -->
<receiver android:name=".widget.LaryWidgetProvider" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_DELETED" />
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_ENABLED" />

AppWidgetProvider class
public class LaryWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
// Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
// Create an Intent to launch service
Intent intent = new Intent(context, LaryWidgetCheckService.class);
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);

// Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener
// to the button

}
}

{
Editor edit = context.getSharedPreferences(Constants.PREFERNCES_WIDGET_PREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
for (int i=0; i<N; i++)
{

}
edit.commit();
}
public static void updateAppWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int appWidgetId) {
// Create an Intent to launch service

// Tell the AppWidgetManager to perform an update on the current app widget
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
}
Handler that being called on the configuration activity end
private Handler mHandler = new Handler(){
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg){
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(LaryWidgetConfigurationActivity.this);
LaryWidgetProvider.updateAppWidget(LaryWidgetConfigurationActivity.this, appWidgetManager,
mAppWidgetId);
// Make sure we pass back the original appWidgetId
Intent resultValue = new Intent();
resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, mAppWidgetId);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);
finish();
}
};
The service I want to run on click
public class LaryWidgetCheckService extends IntentService {
private int mAppWidgetId;
public LaryWidgetCheckService(String name) {
super("WorkplaceService");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
mAppWidgetId = extras.getInt(
AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
}
// If they gave us an intent without the widget id, just bail.
if (mAppWidgetId == AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) {
return;
}
// Running some code
}
}
Thanks in advance!!

I hate this world!!!
If you'll look again in the manifest you can notice that I wrote widget.SERVICENAME instead of .widget.SERVICENAME!!!
I've Spent a whole day on this!
Thanks for everyone who tried to help!

Widget runs in another process, and you are sending an explicit intent that will works only inside your application. The reason of why the intent to launch google page in the web browser is because this is another type of intent that will involve broadcast receiver and it's propagated system wide to see if someone responds.
I think that you must declare a broadcast receiver in your service and fire that intent from your widget.

Widget has a weird bahaviour

I have developed an application that makes use of a widget. The widget could be added in the homescreen and used as a button. I have recently downgraded the version to <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> and no errors were spotted. However, now when i reinstall the, the widget is not responsive. In addition when I try to install the app on another phone running android 4.0.3, widget is not available anywhere, so i cannot even add it to the homescreen. Here is my code for the widget:
public class MyWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {
#Override
public void onUpdate(Context c, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,int[] appWidgetIds) {
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
//for each of the instances of the widget
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(c.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout);
Intent fireDialog = new Intent(c,Execute.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(c, 0, fireDialog, 0);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.myButton, pendingIntent); //when the button is clicked, an activity is launched
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context c, Intent intent)
{
final String action=intent.getAction();
if(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_DELETED.equals(action)){
final int appWidgetId=intent.getExtras().getInt(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
if(appWidgetId!=AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID){
this.onDeleted(c,new int[]{appWidgetId});
}
}else{
super.onReceive(c, intent);
}
}
}
Here is the manifest.xml:
<application>
<receiver android:name=".myButton"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="myWidget">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="#xml/my_xml" />
</receiver>
</application>
