Hi, Short version: I'm unable to see how you'd launch an auto-linked intent (in this case, URL view) from a widget/remote-view without being able to specify the required flag.
Long version: I'm creating a widget which, among other things, displays tweets which may contain URLs. By setting the textview text using the remoteview's setTextViewText method I can specify the text and then use the android:autoLink and android:linksClickable attributes of the TextView in the layout to ensure these links are formatted correctly, highlighted and clickable. However, clicking the link throws the following exception: [code] E/AndroidRuntime( 341): FATAL EXCEPTION: main E/AndroidRuntime( 341): android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want? E/AndroidRuntime( 341): at android.app.ContextImpl.startActivity(ContextImpl.java:617) E/AndroidRuntime( 341): at android.text.style.URLSpan.onClick(URLSpan.java:62) [/code] While I understand the meaning of the message - that it's impossible to launch an activity without specifying either an origin Activity (which the widget's remoteview won't have a reference to) or without specifying the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag - I can't change the former and I don't see any way of intercepting the auto-link features Intent to specify the flag. I've seen widgets that contain seemingly normal URIs so I know it's entirely possible (unfortunately none that are open-source) and so I'm slightly stumped. Any help would be much appreciated.
