Hi,
I am updating a widget project for Moto Milestone / Droid.
Found something strange:
When I slide out the keyboard, and the screen changes orientation, my
widget is redrawn, and Android even uses the layout file from
layout-land. So far so good.
However, the widget is not notified in any way - onUpdate is not called,
and ACTION_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED cannot be received through manifest,
can't be registered for with registerReceiver, and is removed for
widgets in 2.0.
Apparently, Milestone caches the most recent RemoteViews update and uses
it to re-create the widget and update its state.
One negative side effect is that my widget sets up PendingIntent for the
user clicking on the widget. This is done in onUpdate(), but not - for
effeciency - later, when the widget is incrementally updated.
I am able to work around this by always including a PendingIntent for
clicks each and every I update the widget.
My second app is a bit more complex, though, and this workaround might
not work.
Has anyone else ran into this issue with Droid / Milestone? Any thoughts
on why ACTION_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED support for removed for widgets in 2.0?
