I have an AppWidgetProvider, and I need to do some initialization when a widget is first added to the home screen. I understand that the place to do it is in the onEnabled(Context context) method. My Problem is that this method is never called (As far as I can see in the logcat).
Here is my code:
public class MyMonitorWidget extends AppWidgetProvider{
@Override
public void onEnabled(Context context) {
super.onEnabled(context);
Log.v("LOG", "Widget onEnabled");
Intent intentToFire = new Intent(UpdateAlarmReceiver.ACTION_UPDATE_ALARM);
context.sendBroadcast(intentToFire);
}
...
}
And my appwidget-provider xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appwidget-provider
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:initialLayout="@layout/widget_layout"
android:minWidth="146dp"
android:minHeight="74dp"
android:label="Monitor Widget"
/>
and in the manifest:
<receiver android:name="MyMonitorWidget" android:label="Monitor Widget">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.myMonitor.ACTION_NOTIFY_WIDGET"/>
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="@xml/monitor_widget_info"/>
</receiver>
What do you think is the problem?
