Question

I changed the name etc of the widget I’m developing, I’m having trouble uninstalling the old one from the emulator. How does one uninstall widget on the emulator.

Answer 1

You can remove widgets by long-pressing on them, then a delete handle gets shown on the bottom of the screen. Drag the widget above it and release (a press is a mouseclick in the emulator, so long-hold the mousebutton).

Or you can uninstall the whole app that contains the widget. Then you get an “error displaying widget” message where the widget was placed, so you still have to use the above method to remove it completely. To do so either use Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications from the emulator, or execute adb uninstall your.apps.packagename from the command line of your computer.
