I tried solving my problem using this link
update – I figured out that there is something wrong with the setter of the pending intent- every time I click on the imageview- the intent sends the extre details of the last defined widget-
meaning that the other pending intents that where defined on the pre-added widgets were run-over by the newer widgets
I have an app widget that shows a picture chosen by the user.(many widgets- many pictures)
my problem is: no matter which widget on screen I press – only the last added widget gets updated:
here is my code
My Widget xml provider Code
<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:minWidth="146dip"

The problem isn’t your configActivity, the problem is in your widgetProvider. I had the same problem as you did but solved using the link you specified. You need to set the “hacked” intent on your configIntent in buildRemoteView.
