I've been working on a widget and making some advances (I hope) but still can't get it to do what I want.
I have a configurator activity which works ok. When it closes I call the updateAppWidget method in the WordWidget class and the widget updates the random number.
What I can't do it get the random number to change because of onClick. According to the log I do enter the onReceive() method, but thats about it.
In the log I'm printing the widget ID. I noticed that when run from the configurator activity it's printing appWidgetId=33, but when I press the widget it prints appWidgetId=24.
This is the code:
public class WordWidget extends AppWidgetProvider
{
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds)
{
//This is run when a new widget is added or when the update period expires.
Log.v("wotd", "In onUpdate(), updating " + appWidgetIds.length + " widgets");
Log.v("wotd", " the array is " + appWidgetIds.toString());
for(int x = 0; x < appWidgetIds.length; x++)
{
Integer appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[x];
//Method that updates the random value
updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId);
}
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
super.onReceive(context, intent);
Log.v("wotd", "In onReceive() with intent=" + intent.toString());
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE"))
{
Integer mAppWidgetId;
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if(extras != null)
{
Log.v("wotd", "In onReceive(), extras is valid");
mAppWidgetId = extras.getInt(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
//If they gave us an intent without a valid widget Id, just bail.
if (mAppWidgetId != AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID)
{
Log.v("wotd", "In onReceive(), mAppWidgetId is ok");
updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, mAppWidgetId);
}
} else
{
Log.v("wotd", "In onReceive(), extras is INVALID");
mAppWidgetId = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID;
}
}
}
static void updateAppWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, Integer appWidgetId)
{
Log.v("wotd", "In updateAppWidget() with appWidgetId=" + appWidgetId);
//Setup onClick
Intent widgetIntent = new Intent(context, WordWidget.class);
widgetIntent.setAction("android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE");
widgetIntent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);
PendingIntent widgetPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, widgetIntent, 0);
Integer nextNumb = new Random().nextInt(100);
Log.v("wotd", "In updateAppWidget(), nextNumb = " + nextNumb.toString());
RemoteViews remoteView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widgetlayout);
remoteView.setTextViewText(R.id.mainText, String.valueOf(nextNumb));
remoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.mainText, widgetPendingIntent);
// Tell the widget manager
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, remoteView);
}
}
This is the log file, from when I touch the widget (note that the prefs activity also has a log printout and shows the widget ID as a different number that this):
05-14 17:15:47.453: V/wotd(1585): In onReceive() with intent=Intent { act=android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.rfxlabs.wordofthedaywidget/.WordWidget bnds=[202,177][222,201] (has extras) }
05-14 17:15:47.453: V/wotd(1585): In onReceive(), extras is valid
05-14 17:15:47.463: V/wotd(1585): In onReceive(), mAppWidgetId is ok
05-14 17:15:47.463: V/wotd(1585): In updateAppWidget() with appWidgetId=24
05-14 17:15:47.463: V/wotd(1585): In updateAppWidget(), nextNumb = 42
So as you can see, I'm actually entering my updateAppWidget method, but for some reason the appWidgetId is incorrect.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks a lot!
