so I just created a new app that is references an older app of mine, using it as a library. You can see that problem/solution here:
However I’ve just noticed that my new app is giving me error views when I try and set down some of the widgets, with LogCat output such as:

What’s going on here? Thanks
The answer was in the fact that I was using RemoteViews for the widgets, and in setting up some of the remote views, I was hard-coding the package name from the original application. The solution was to replace the hard-coded package name with context.getPackageName()
