Question

public class MyWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {...}

@Override
public void onEnabled (Context contex){
    System.out.println("new task flag");
    Intent i = new Intent(mainActivity, ReadName.class);
    i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); 
    mainActivity.startActivity(i);
}

I am trying this code to open a new activity before the widget load on the screen but it is not opening a new activity which i want, the message “new task flag” is comming on the LogCat, but not the activity, what is wrong???
Thanks

Answer 1

Assuming ReadName is the name of the Activity class that you want to launch, try using this code instead:

@Override 
public void onEnabled(Context context){
  Intent i = new Intent(context, ReadName.class);
  i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); 
  context.startActivity(i);
}

Also, you can’t do system.out.println in android. If you want to print something out, try printing it to the log.
