I don’t know what is wrong in my code, but everytime i put widget on home screen button1 doesn’t work. After phone reboot both buttons works perfectly…

package cro.perger.bonbon;

import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.widget.RemoteViews;



        public class HelloWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {

                @Override
                public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
                        int[] appWidgetIds) {

                            String encodedHash = Uri.encode("#");

                            for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) {

                                Intent callIntent1  = new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL",
                                         Uri.parse("tel:*100" + encodedHash));
                                Intent callIntent2  = new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL",
                                         Uri.parse("tel:*200*1" + encodedHash));

                                PendingIntent pendingIntent1 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, callIntent1, 0);
                                PendingIntent pendingIntent2 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, callIntent2, 0);

                                RemoteViews views1 = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
                                views1.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button1, pendingIntent1);

                                RemoteViews views2 = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
                                views2.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button2, pendingIntent2);

                                appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views1);
                                appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views2);
                            }

                }
    }

Any help, please ??

Answer 1

What you do there is updating the same widget (appWidgetId) with two layouts (views1 and views2). Basically you are setting the widgets layout with a pending intent on button1 (->views1).
Then you overwrite it with a layout where only button2 has a pending intent (-> views2). I’m not sure why this is working after a restart, maybe android notices that you use the same base layout resource and doesn’t create it from scratch somewhere in the internals.

So how do you do it correct?

You may just shorten your snippet. Create one layout, set the pending intents for both buttons on the same layout and update as you did. But only once, you will never need more than one call to updateAppWidget() per appWidgetId (this is basically the same thing that setContentView() is for a normal activity).

Should look like this in the end:

Intent callIntent1  = new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL",
                             Uri.parse("tel:*100" + encodedHash));
Intent callIntent2  = new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL",
                     Uri.parse("tel:*200*1" + encodedHash));

PendingIntent pendingIntent1 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, callIntent1, 0);
PendingIntent pendingIntent2 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, callIntent2, 0);

RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button1, pendingIntent1);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button2, pendingIntent2);

appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
