My assumption is that I just do not fully understand widgets yet. Hopefully one of you guru's can see where my logic/thinking is flawed.
Ultimately what happens with my widget is that it eventually becomes unresponsive at very random intervals (usually > 5 hours).
My investigation so far has led me to believe that it's potentially a result of the OS running low on memory and my widget being recreated?
If that's the case, I would have thought that the OnUpdate() method would handle this but potentially I'm wrong here.
I have read pretty much every thread on here regarding widget unresponsiveness. The only one that showed promise for me was this one:
Android Homescreen Widget becomes Unresponsive
but I'm not using a service and not sure I need to.
The goal of the widget is to first check if the user has created a profile. This is done by checking for the existence of a local db along with a user record. If neither of these exist, the widget should display a "Get Started" image (which it does successfully).
Once the user taps on this image, they are launched into a profile creation wizard. Once the profile is created, the widget is updated from the app to display an image along with some caloric intake information.
There are three clickable items on the widget. The image and the two textviews. Each respectively launching a different activity in my app.
Here is the widget class:

the android widget content when device rotated are suddenly gone.
do I have to repopulate them when device is rotated? but the widget dont have onconfiguration change to listen to.
also I used alarmmanager with service to populate the widget for new app (adding to viewflipper) to display every 1 minute.
widget code:

// check if alarms not created, create 1
if(!GlobalStorage.tempStorage.containsKey(Widget_2_6.class.toString() + appWidgetIds[i]))
{
createAlarmService(context, appWidgetIds[i]);
// put to hash for alarms created
GlobalStorage.tempStorage.put(Widget_2_6.class.toString() + appWidgetIds[i], 0);
//CustomAndroidTools.popToast(Widget_2_6.class.toString() + appWidgetIds[i], context);
}
}
}

is there anything i missed?
Ok. got it working, the problem is with the RemoteView's behavior.(NOTE: RemoteView will send the latest changes to views needing a refresh/update)
so what I did was instead of using manager.updateAppWidget(widgetID, views); on all occasion.
I used a flag to know when to use updateAppWidget or partiallyUpdateAppWidget.
below is the modified code under the buildUpdate function from above listing, replacing manager.updateAppWidget(widgetID, views); into:
if(!GlobalStorage.tempStorage.containsKey(_class.toString() + widgetID) || GlobalStorage.tempStorage.get(_class.toString() + widgetID) == 0)
{
Log.e("buildUpdate -- WidgetUpdateService", "buildUpdate -- WidgetUpdateService: either not in collection or is 0: do full update");
manager.updateAppWidget(widgetID, views);
}
else
{
Log.e("buildUpdate -- WidgetUpdateService", "buildUpdate -- WidgetUpdateService: is not 0: do partial update");
manager.partiallyUpdateAppWidget(widgetID, views);
}
with the modified logic, when the view is needing for a refresh/update (which we cannot control most of the time like orientation change). it will not override the whole view and just the partial view.
I want to update widget item when I Add or Remove item using activity in my WelcomeWidget class onReceive() as
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
setup(context);
if (datalist.size() != 0)
{
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION_NEXT_TIP)) {
mMessage = getNextMessageIndex();
SharedPreferences.Editor pref = context.getSharedPreferences(
PREFS_NAME, 0).edit();
pref.putInt(PREFS_TIP_NUMBER, mMessage);
pref.commit();
refresh();
}
else if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION_SETTING))
{
Intent articleIntent = new Intent(context,
LoremActivity.class);
articleIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(articleIntent);
} else {
refresh();
} } }
where refresh method is as :
private void refresh() {
RemoteViews rv = buildUpdate(mContext);
for (int i : mWidgetIds) {
mWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(i, rv);
}
Using Animation as :
AnimationSet farsiTelLogoAnimation = new AnimationSet(true);
RotateAnimation rotate = new RotateAnimation(0, 360,
RotateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f,
RotateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
rotate.setFillAfter(true);
rotate.setDuration(1000);
farsiTelLogoAnimation.addAnimation(rotate);
}
getting message index
private int getNextMessageIndex() {
return (mMessage + 1) % datalist.size();
}
where buildUpdate () method is as
public RemoteViews buildUpdate(Context context) {
RemoteViews updateViews =
new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
// Action for tap on bubble
Intent bcast = new Intent(context,
WelcomeWidget.class);
bcast.setAction(ACTION_NEXT_TIP);
PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,
0, bcast, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget, pending);
// RemoteViews updateViews1 = new
RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), // R.id.setting);
Intent bcast1 = new Intent(context, WelcomeWidget.class);
bcast1.setAction(ACTION_SETTING); PendingIntent pending1 =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,
0, bcast1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
updateViews.
setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.setting, pending1);
// Tip bubble text if (mMessage >= 0) { // String[] parts =
sNewlineRegex.split(mTips[mMessage], 2);
String to = datalist.get(mMessage).getFrom();
String from = datalist.get(mMessage).getTo();
String rate = datalist.get(mMessage).getRate();
// Look for a callout graphic referenced in the text Matcher m =
sDrawableRegex.matcher(to);
if (m.find()) {
String imageName = m.group(1);
int resId = context.getResources().getIdentifier(
imageName, null, context.getPackageName());
// updateViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.tip_callout, resId);
// updateViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.tip_callout,
// View.VISIBLE);
to = m.replaceFirst(""); } else {
// updateViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.tip_callout, 0);0
// updateViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.tip_callout, View.GONE); }
updateViews.setTextViewText(R.id.to, to);
updateViews.setTextViewText(R.id.from, from);
updateViews.setTextViewText(R.id.rate, rate);
updateViews.setTextViewText(
R.id.tip_footer,
context.getResources().getString(R.string.pager_footer,
(1 + mMessage), datalist.size()));
updateViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.tip_bubble, View.VISIBLE);
}
else {
updateViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.tip_bubble, View.INVISIBLE);
}
return updateViews;
}
where Button click event reload widget
I don't really understand your code because the format is horrible.
Anyway, to update a widget from your activity you can send a Broadcast intent with APPWIDGET_UPDATE. Use the following code:
Intent intent = new Intent(YourActivity.this, YourWidgetProvider.class);
intent.setAction("android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE");
int ids[] = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(getApplication()).getAppWidgetIds(new ComponentName(getApplication(), ASquareAnalogClockProvider.class));
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS,ids);
sendBroadcast(intent);
Hope it helps :)
I'm making a widget and i know some of my code such as the broadcastReceiver is wrong at the moment but it wont even update to hardcoded setTextViewText.
My problem is I've no idea why this happens and my widget just wont update.
Here's my code i hope someone can figure out where ive gone wrong:
public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider {
RemoteViews views;
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
int N = appWidgetIds.length;
views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
IntentFilter batteryLevelFliter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED);
context.registerReceiver(batteryChangedReceiver, batteryLevelFliter);
String alarm = Settings.System.getString(context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED);
views.setTextViewText(R.id.tvAlarm, alarm);
views.setTextViewText(R.id.tvNextAlarm, "qwertyuiop");
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
}
private BroadcastReceiver batteryChangedReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
int rawLevel = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_LEVEL, -1);
int scale = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_SCALE, -1);
int level = -1;
if (rawLevel >= 0 && scale > 0) {
level = (rawLevel * 100) / scale;
}
int status = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_STATUS, -1);
boolean charging = status == BatteryManager.BATTERY_STATUS_CHARGING;
if (charging) {
views.setTextViewText(R.id.tvBattery, "Charging: " + level + "%");
if (level == 100) {
views.setTextViewText(R.id.tvBattery, "Battery Full");
}
} else {
views.setTextViewText(R.id.tvBattery, "Battery: " + level + "%");
}
}

AppWidgetProvider extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver, so you cannot register new BroadcastReceiver to the your AppWidget's context. In your code, you will not receive battery event from your BroadcastReceiver. Refer these previous questions. :)
Android Broadcast Receiver in Widget
Register BroadcastReceiver to Widget (Difference of Context object)
Gosh, there must be a thousand different tutorials on android appwidgets and even more questions here, but I just cannot figure out why mine isn't working. sigh
Rhetorical question: why can't the code be the same here as just about every other object with the setOnClickListener (new new Button.OnClickListener() { // do stuff }...
Anyway, my widget shows up on the screen and the labels are correct, but when I tap on the widget, nothing happens. I've put breakpoints in all the places where I think something would happen, but nothing is being executed.
Question 1: What code is executed after a widget is tapped?
My widget doesn't really update when it is tapped. Rather, it just executes some code in the rest of my program. It just makes some networking http and/or socket server commands. Also, my widget is configured with an activity before it is placed on the desktop.
Here's the manifest:
<receiver android:name="PhcaAppWidgetProvider" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
<action android:name="com.skipmorrow.phca.PhcaAppWidgetProvider.WIDGET_CLICKED" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="#xml/phca_widget_info" />
</receiver>
Here's the widget configurator activity
private Activity act;
private static ListView listView;
private static ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
private ArrayList<String> actionList;
private final String widgetPageName = "_widget";
int mAppWidgetId = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID;
private static final String PREFS_NAME = "PHCA";
private static final String PREF_PREFIX_KEY = "prefix_";
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setTitle("Choose an action for this widget");
actionList = GetActionList();
if (!actionList.isEmpty()) {
listView = getListView();
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, actionList);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
else {
// no objects on the widget page
}
// Find the widget id from the intent.
Intent intent = getIntent();
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) {
finish();
}
}
private ArrayList<String> GetActionList() {
ArrayList<String> l = new ArrayList<String>();
Page p = CommonActivity.GetPageNamed(getApplicationContext(), widgetPageName);
if (p!=null) {
if (p.pageObjects.size()==0) DisplayEmptyPageHelpDialog();
for (int i = 0; i < p.pageObjects.size(); i++) {
l.add(p.pageObjects.get(i).GetParsedMajorLabel(getApplicationContext()).toString());
}
}
else {
CreateWidgetPage();
DisplayEmptyPageHelpDialog();
}
return l;
}
private void CreateWidgetPage() {

widgetPage.setPageName(widgetPageName);
widgetPage.SetPageType("list");
widgetPage.setNote("Widget Page");

widgetPage.InsertInstanceIntoDatabase(getApplicationContext());
}
private void DisplayEmptyPageHelpDialog() {

helpDialog.setContentView(R.layout.phca_help_dialog);
helpDialog.setTitle("PHCA Widget");
TextView helpText = (TextView) helpDialog.findViewById(R.id.tvHelpText);
helpText.setText("Your _widget page is empty. Please add an action to the _widget page so it can be used in a widget.");
TextView subTitle = (TextView) helpDialog.findViewById(R.id.tvSubject);
subTitle.setText("PHCA Widget configurator");
helpDialog.show();
}
#Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
SharedPreferences.Editor prefs = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0).edit();
prefs.putInt(PREF_PREFIX_KEY + mAppWidgetId, position);
prefs.commit();
// Push widget update to surface with newly set prefix
String majorLabel = CommonActivity.GetPageObjectAtIndex(getApplicationContext(), widgetPageName, position).GetParsedMajorLabel(getApplicationContext()).toString();
String minorLabel = CommonActivity.GetPageObjectAtIndex(getApplicationContext(), widgetPageName, position).GetParsedMinorLabel(getApplicationContext()).toString();
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
PhcaAppWidgetProvider.updateAppWidget(getApplicationContext(), appWidgetManager,
mAppWidgetId, majorLabel, minorLabel);
Intent resultValue = new Intent();
resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, mAppWidgetId);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);
finish();
}
And here's my appwidget provider
public class PhcaAppWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
private static final String ACTION_CLICK = "WIDGET_CLICKED";
private final String widgetPageName = "_widget";
private static final String PREFS_NAME = "PHCA";
private static final String PREF_PREFIX_KEY = "prefix_";
#Override

//int[] allWidgetIds = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(thisWidget);
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
SharedPreferences myPrefs = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);
Integer objNum = myPrefs.getInt(PREF_PREFIX_KEY + appWidgetId, -1);
if (objNum > -1) {
PageAction pa = (PageAction) CommonActivity.GetPageObjectAtIndex(context, widgetPageName, objNum);
String majorLabel = pa.GetUnparsedMajorLabel(context).toString();
String minorLabel = pa.GetUnparsedMinorLabel(context).toString();
updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId, majorLabel, minorLabel);
}
}
}
#Override
public void onEnabled(Context context) {
Log.d("Widget", "onEnabled");
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String intentAction = intent.getAction();
updateWidgetState(context, intentAction);
if (intentAction.equals(ACTION_CLICK)) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
Integer appWidgetId = extras.getInt("appwidgetid");
SharedPreferences myPrefs = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);
Integer objNum = myPrefs.getInt(PREF_PREFIX_KEY + appWidgetId, -1);
if (objNum > -1) {
PageAction pa = (PageAction) CommonActivity.GetPageObjectAtIndex(context, widgetPageName, objNum);
pa.ExecuteActionFromWidgetClick(context);
}
} else {
super.onReceive(context, intent);
}
}
public static void updateWidgetState(Context paramContext, String paramString)
{
RemoteViews localRemoteViews = buildUpdate(paramContext, paramString);
ComponentName localComponentName = new ComponentName(paramContext, PhcaAppWidgetProvider.class);
AppWidgetManager.getInstance(paramContext).updateAppWidget(localComponentName, localRemoteViews);
}
private static RemoteViews buildUpdate(Context ctx, String paramString)
{
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(ctx.getPackageName(), R.layout.phca_appwidget);
views.setTextViewText(R.id.majorlabel, "majorLabel");
views.setTextViewText(R.id.minorlabel, "minorLabel");
Intent intent = new Intent(ctx, PhcaAppWidgetProvider.class);
intent.setAction(ACTION_CLICK);
intent.putExtra("appwidgetid", 0);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ctx, 0, intent , 0);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.layout.phca_appwidget, pendingIntent);
if(paramString.equals(ACTION_CLICK))
{
Toast.makeText(ctx, "ACTION_CLICK", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
return views;
}
}
When I add the widget and remove it, different intents are passed into the onReceive, so that is working, but nothing when a click happens.
Question 2: Can someone please be so kind as to point out what I did wrong? I pretty followed the tutorials here: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/appwidget/ExampleAppWidgetProvider.html
Question 3: It would seem that I could put an android:onclick="WidgetClicked" in the layout xml for the widget, but I couldn't figure out where to put the WidgetClicked method. The WidgetProvider seemed logical, but that didn't work for me either. Is there a way to do this in the xml?
DISCLAIMER: the code above is the current state after a day and a half of troubleshooting. It just one iteration of many different tries.
you need to rigister a reciver for widget click as in manifest :
<receiver android:name="MyAppWidgetProvider" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
<action android:name="com.myname.myapp.MyAppWidgetProvider.ACTION_CLICK" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="#xml/my_widget_info" />
</receiver>

updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager,
appWidgetId, majorLabel, minorLabel);
}
}
}

if(parmString.equals(ACTION_CLICK))
{
//Toast.maketext("").show();
//
}
return rview;
}
}
see my answer in this post for full example.
I tried solving my problem using this link
update - I figured out that there is something wrong with the setter of the pending intent- every time I click on the imageview- the intent sends the extre details of the last defined widget-
meaning that the other pending intents that where defined on the pre-added widgets were run-over by the newer widgets
I have an app widget that shows a picture chosen by the user.(many widgets- many pictures)
my problem is: no matter which widget on screen I press - only the last added widget gets updated:
here is my code

The problem isn't your configActivity, the problem is in your widgetProvider. I had the same problem as you did but solved using the link you specified. You need to set the "hacked" intent on your configIntent in buildRemoteView.
I had the same problem when I tested my application on emulator of 2.2 or 2.3 version. On a real device everything should work fine. Moreover, in my case emulator 4.0 worked properly. In any case I recommend you to test it on a real device.
