Android Widget Works in Lollipop, but NOT in KitKat

I have a clock widget that updates every minute. It renders a bitmap and replaces an imageview. This is to use a custom font in a widget. Below I showed the important pieces of my code. My problem is that the widget is there, but nothing shows up. I can still tap the widget to bring up the settings, so I know it's there. It's like the service update isn't working correctly in Kitkat but it does in Lollipop. Any suggestions?
public class DigitalClockWidget_2x1 extends AppWidgetProvider {
public RemoteViews mRemoteViews;
static String APP_SETTINGS = "8BitSettings";
#Override
public void onEnabled(Context context) {
super.onEnabled(context);
context.startService(new Intent(UpdateTimeService.UPDATE_TIME));
}
#Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
mRemoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
Intent LaunchIntent = getLaunchIntent(context);
PendingIntent clickPendIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, LaunchIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mRemoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget_root, clickPendIntent);
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(),DigitalClockWidget_2x1.class.getName());
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(componentName, mRemoteViews);
context.startService(new Intent(UpdateTimeService.UPDATE_TIME));
}
public static Intent getLaunchIntent(Context context){
SharedPreferences clockSettings = context.getSharedPreferences("ClockSettings", 0);
String launchString = clockSettings.getString("tappedAction", APP_SETTINGS);
if(launchString.compareTo(APP_SETTINGS) == 0){
return new Intent(context, SettingsPage.class);
}
return context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(launchString);
}
public static final class UpdateTimeService extends Service {
static final String UPDATE_TIME = "org.penguinproductions.eight_bit_clock.action.UPDATE_TIME_2x1";

if (intent != null) {
if (UPDATE_TIME.equals(intent.getAction())) {

}
}
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
private final BroadcastReceiver mTimeChangedReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

}
};
private void updateTime() {
mCalendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
mRemoteViews = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
String date = DateFormat.format(getString(R.string.date_format), mCalendar).toString();
mRemoteViews.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.imageView_txt, buildUpdate(getTodaysTime(), mCalendar.get(Calendar.AM_PM), date));
ComponentName mComponentName = new ComponentName(this, DigitalClockWidget_2x1.class);
AppWidgetManager mAppWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this);
mAppWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(mComponentName, mRemoteViews);
Intent LaunchIntent = getLaunchIntent(getBaseContext());
PendingIntent clickPendIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getBaseContext(), 0, LaunchIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mRemoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget_root, clickPendIntent);
mAppWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(getBaseContext());
mAppWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(mComponentName, mRemoteViews);
}
}
EDIT:
The issue seems to have to do with the Bitmap rendering. I replaced the imageview with a textview and it worked. So the Bitmap isn't displaying in KitKat, but it does in Lollipop
public Bitmap buildUpdate(String time, int AMPM, String date) {
Log.v("Penguin", "Building time string:" + time);
clockSettings = this.getSharedPreferences("ClockSettings", 0);
boolean showDate = clockSettings.getBoolean("showDate", true);
boolean showampm = clockSettings.getBoolean("ampm", true);
boolean leading0 = clockSettings.getBoolean("leading0", true);
textColor = clockSettings.getInt("clockColor", Color.WHITE);
int dateColor = clockSettings.getInt("dateColor", Color.WHITE);
Bitmap myBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(2500, 1100, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
int fontSize = 425;
Canvas myCanvas = new Canvas(myBitmap);
Paint paint = new Paint();
Typeface clock = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "fonts/PressStart2P.ttf");
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setSubpixelText(true);
paint.setTypeface(clock);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
paint.setColor(textColor);
paint.setTextSize(fontSize);
paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
myCanvas.drawText(time, myBitmap.getWidth() / 2, fontSize+200, paint);
paint.setTextSize(100);
if(showampm) {
// alert("AMPM");
String ampm = "AM";
if (AMPM == 1) ampm = "PM";
myCanvas.drawText(ampm, (myBitmap.getWidth() / 2) + ((time.length() * fontSize) / 2) + 100, 300, paint);
}
paint.setTextSize(125);
if(showDate) {
paint.setColor(dateColor);
myCanvas.drawText(date, myBitmap.getWidth() / 2, (myBitmap.getHeight() / 2 + 400), paint);
}
return myBitmap;
}

So the issue was that the size limit for my older phone running KitKat only allows for texture sizes no bigger than 2048x2048 pixels. My bitmap was 2500x1100, so scaling it down has fixed the issue

Android widget becomes unresponsive after random amounts of time pass

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:
public class bbi_widget extends AppWidgetProvider {

super.onReceive(context, intent);

How can i write a part of string in Integer.toString

I found this code to create a battery widget:
public class BatteryStatusWidgetActivity extends AppWidgetProvider {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private String batteryLevel = "init";
private int widgetImageFrame = R.drawable.widget_batt_frame01;
#Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
context.getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(this, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED));
updateView(context);
}
#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 = 65;
level = (rawlevel * 100) / scale;
String batteryLevel = level + "%";
widgetImageFrame = R.drawable.widget_batt_frame01;
updateView(context);
super.onReceive(context, intent);
}
public void updateView(Context context) {
RemoteViews thisViews = new RemoteViews(context.getApplicationContext().getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout);
thisViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_text, batteryLevel);
thisViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.imageView1, widgetImageFrame);
ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName(context, BatteryStatusWidgetActivity.class);
AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context).updateAppWidget(thisWidget, thisViews);
}
This will display in the widget only the number of battery level. I mean "65" and i want display "65%". But if i try to write something like batteryLevel = Integer.toString(level+"%"); i get error.. How can i do it?

int level = 65;
String batteryLevel = level + "%";

Try this it will work
int level= 65;
String batterylevel = String.valueOf(level)+"%";

just replace your code in onReceive() to the following,
#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;
level = (rawlevel * 100) / scale;
batteryLevel = level+"%";
widgetImageFrame = R.drawable.widget_batt_frame01;
updateView(context);
super.onReceive(context, intent);
}
The basic reason you get an error for Integer.toString(level+"%") is Integer.toString() method used here accepts an int value but not a String value. level+"%" is a String value

Change it to this:
int level = -1
level = (rawlevel * 100) / scale;
String batteryLevel = level + "%";

Android Widget Failing To Update

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. :)

Multiple Android Widget instances only updating last widget

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

public void updateTestWidget(Context context, RemoteViews remoteViews)
{
String key = context.getString(R.string.TestWidget_string) + "_"
+ AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID;
String s = getString(context, key, "");
if (s != null && s.equals("") == false)
{
int resID = Integer.valueOf(s);
remoteViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.TestWidgetImage, resID);
}
}
public void pushUpdate(RemoteViews remoteView, Context ctx, Class<?> cls)
{
ComponentName myWidget = new ComponentName(ctx, cls);
AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(ctx);
manager.updateAppWidget(myWidget, remoteView);
}

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.
