Hi,
I have a very simple widget and I want it to be updated every 30
minutes.
So I extended AppWidgetProviders as follow,
public class Testwidget extends AppWidgetProvider {
int COUNT = 0;
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager
appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
Log.d("WIDGET", "====================== UPDATED
======================");
super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
for(int _i=0; _i<appWidgetIds.length; _i++){
int _widId = appWidgetIds[_i];
COUNT+=1;
RemoteViews _views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
R.layout.widgetlayout);
_views.setTextViewText(R.id.tvCount,String.valueOf(COUNT));
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(_widId, _views);
}
}
}
My menifest file is as follow,
<receiver android:name="Testwidget">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE"></action>
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="@xml/widgetinfo"></meta-data>
</receiver>
And my widget information XML as follow
<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:minWidth="272dp" android:minHeight="72dp"
android:updatePeriodMillis="1800000" android:initialLayout="@layout/
widgetlayout">
</appwidget-provider>
My Layout has a simple text view that shows counter.
When I place widget for the first time on screen, it shows 1 as per my
onUpdate method. But now it never call onUpdate method and my widget
never updates itself. Many people told me to set
android:updatePeriodMillis = 180000. I have also tried that but no
luck.
Am I missing something with this code?
Please help.
