I am trying to update an AppWidget manually when a user setting changes on the device. To do so I use code similar to this:
ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName(this, MyAppWidget.class); AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this); manager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, updateViews); I can tell that my AppWidget onUpdate method is being called as a result since I log some debug strings to logcat in the code. However the AppWidget itself doesn't change on the screen. Here comes the interesting part: if I rotate my device and force a refresh of the home screen (from PORTRAIT to LANDSCAPE or vice-versa) then finally my AppWidget gets updated. However rotating the device does not trigger the onUpdate method to be called, so the AppWidget must be using the RemoteViews provided in the earlier update. Can somebody explain me what to do to force the home screen redraw of my AppWidget when it processes an update????
