I am working my way through oh my first widget (so this is 1.5,
obviously) and I'm stuck. I've poked around a problem involving the
launch of an Activity when clicking on a widget. Scenario: User drags
widget on home screen without prior launch of the Activity in
question. I am following this post:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/introducing-home-screen-widgets-and.html
Instead of launching the browser through ACTION_VIEW, I am trying to
launch an Activity by class. I've toyed around with different Intent
settings, but no luck.
The following snipped shows the launch log
<------------------ Sanitized log launching Activity
---------------------->
05-19 04:28:56.173: INFO/ActivityManager(571): Starting activity:
Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN categories=
{android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} flags=0x10200000 comp=
{com.mycompany.myapp/com.mycompany.myapp.MainClass} }
<------------------ Sanitized log ---------------------->
This is identical to a regular launch from the home screen. Below the
code that I use to launch the Activity:
<------------------ Sanitized code snipped from class that extends
AppWidgetProvider (MyWidgetProvider) ------->
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager
appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
Intent defineIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
defineIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK +
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
defineIntent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
defineIntent.setClassName(context, "com.mycompany.myapp.MainClass");
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity
(context,
0 , defineIntent, 0);
updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget,
pendingIntent);
// Push updates to the home screen
ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName(context,
MyWidgetProvider.class);
AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance
(context);
manager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, updateViews);
}
<------------------ Sanitized code snipped ------->
Here's what happens (I test emulator only at this point): Upon the
first click, the Activity crashes. Dialog box: "Sorry! The application
MyApp (process (com.mycompany.myapp) has stopped unexpectedly. Please
try again."
With the second tap on the widget, the Activity launches. So I assume
I've got the correct intent filter settings. Below the log following
the first tap:

After trying different configurations I've run out of ideas. Thanks in
advance for your help!
