I'm trying to implement android app with widget, but found strange behavior on nexus 5 devices (i have two - one with lollipop, one with marshmallow). If I call AppWidgetManager.notifyAppWidgetViewDataChanged, widget's ListView content is refreshed on other devices (Nexus 3, ASUS K010), but on these two nothing happens. Couldn't find any info about this.
So here's my code: MainActivity.java.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static final String PREFS_TAG = "StringList";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
View v = findViewById(R.id.fill);
v.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
fillWidget();
}
});
v= findViewById(R.id.clear);
v.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
clearWidget();
}
});
}
private void fillWidget(){
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences(WidgetRemoteService.class.getSimpleName(), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
Set<String> strings = new HashSet<>();
strings.add("111111111111111");
strings.add("222222222222222");
strings.add("333333333333333");
strings.add("444444444444444");
strings.add("555555555555555");
strings.add("666666666666666");
strings.add("777777777777777");
strings.add("888888888888888");
strings.add("999999999999999");
editor.putStringSet(PREFS_TAG, strings);
editor.commit();
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this);
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(getApplicationContext(),WidgetProvider.class);
int[] appWidgetIds = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(componentName);
appWidgetManager.notifyAppWidgetViewDataChanged(appWidgetIds, R.id.listView);
}
private void clearWidget(){
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences(WidgetRemoteService.class.getSimpleName(), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
editor.remove(PREFS_TAG);
editor.commit();
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this);
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(getApplicationContext(),WidgetProvider.class);
int[] appWidgetIds = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(componentName);
appWidgetManager.notifyAppWidgetViewDataChanged(appWidgetIds, R.id.listView);
}
}
WidgetProvider.java
public class WidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
private static final String TAG = WidgetProvider.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) {
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId,createRemoteViews(context, appWidgetId));
}
}
public static RemoteViews createRemoteViews(Context context, int appWidgetId){
Log.e(TAG, "Creating remote views");
Intent intent = new Intent(context, WidgetRemoteService.class);
// Add the app widget ID to the intent extras.
Log.e(TAG, "Creating remote views for widget #"+appWidgetId);
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME)));
RemoteViews result = new RemoteViews(WidgetProvider.class.getPackage().getName(),R.layout.widget_layout);
result.setRemoteAdapter(R.id.listView,intent);
return result;
}
}
WidgetRemoteService.java
public class WidgetRemoteService extends RemoteViewsService {
private static final String TAG = WidgetRemoteService.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public RemoteViewsFactory onGetViewFactory(Intent intent) {
int appWidgetID = intent.getIntExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
return new WidgetViewsFactory(getApplicationContext(), appWidgetID);
}
public static class WidgetViewsFactory implements RemoteViewsService.RemoteViewsFactory{
private Context context;
private String[] strings;
private int appWidgetId;
public WidgetViewsFactory(Context context, int appWidgetId){
Log.e(TAG, "Factory created");
this.context = context;
this.appWidgetId = appWidgetId;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
}
@Override
public void onDataSetChanged() {
Log.e(TAG, "Dataset changed");
SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences(WidgetRemoteService.class.getSimpleName(), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
Set<String> stringSet = preferences.getStringSet(MainActivity.PREFS_TAG, new HashSet<String>());
strings = stringSet.toArray(new String[]{});
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
if (strings==null)
return 0;
else
return strings.length;
}
@Override
public RemoteViews getViewAt(int position) {
RemoteViews result = new RemoteViews(getClass().getPackage().getName(),R.layout.widget_item);
result.setTextViewText(R.id.textTitle,"This is title");
result.setTextViewText(R.id.textContent,strings[position]);
return result;
}
@Override
public RemoteViews getLoadingView() {
return null;
}
@Override
public int getViewTypeCount() {
return 1;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return 0;
}
@Override

}
}

Here I try to update widget from MainActivity, but somehow it doesn't work on my nexus 5 devices - according to logs onDataSetChanged() is never called on this devices, but on others it works. Maybe I misunderstood something in guides, and it wasn't supposed to work, and works on other devices only because of some bug, which was fixed in later android versions?
try add
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_REMOTEVIEWS"
to RemoteViewsService
in your AndroidManifest.xml
, I was facing this problem too today.
I had a breakpoint set, wondering why onDataSetChanged
wasn't getting called. It turns out that it got called, but only after I backgrounded my app and the widget was visible!
