According to your question, the app widget smoothly runs in android 4.X devices but “Problem loading gadget” pops up in android 2.X devices. The problem is not in your coding part. If there was a problem in coding part then it would not run in 4.X devices as well.The appwidget is showing “Problem loading gadget” in 2.X device.So, the problem may be in designing part where you may have missed assigning some values in the layout file. Check your appwidget layout xml file properly. There might be some missing values for 2.X devices in your layouts. Such errors are not displayed in logcats but these errors are very harmful.
