I am using static Arrays and HashMaps to store some values in my AppWidgetProvider class. But they are becoming null when the process dies, so the widget does not work anymore. Are there any alternatives to using static members to store data for an AppWidgetProvider in Android?
The “correct” way to do what you’re doing (I believe) would be SharedPreferences. The Android dev guide has a great page on the different methods of Data Storage in Android. Also, try not to use too many static values; perhaps what you’re doing would be better accomplished with singleton classes, though, from the question, it’s hard to tell what you’re using them for.
