Here's some more info:
I just learned that an interesting thing happens when I re-run the
code: onUpdate() and onReceive() are called. To state that in more
detail, I go to my code and make a trivial change -- let's say I add a
comment -- and then hit Run and select Android Application and then my
console starts spitting out the typical updates. As soon as it says
"Done!" I get Toast popups on the emulator saying that onUpdate and
onReceive are running. Now here's the interesting part: after they are
called, the widget sitting on my desktop -- the one that wouldn't open
the browser when touched -- *does* open the browser. This kind of
makes sense since onReceive() contains the widget's
setOnClickPendingIntent call, except that onReceive() also runs as
soon as I create the widget (right about the same time that the
configuration activity appears). So it's almost like the code in the
first run of onReceive isn't working but it works the second time. =\
In case it helps, here's my code for onReceive():
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
super.onReceive(context, intent);
String action = intent.getAction();
if (AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE.equals(action))
{
Toast.makeText(context, "onReceive()",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName
(), R.layout.widget);
Intent browsingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://www.cnn.com";));
browsingIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
browsingIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName
("com.android.browser", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"));
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity
(context, 0, browsingIntent, 0);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Widget, pendingIntent);
AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context).updateAppWidget
(intent.getIntArrayExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS),
views);
}
}
