Android :: Genie Widget Not Updating
Jun 24, 2010
2.1 OEM on Droid Incredible. It still says the temp from yesterday afternoon and stuck on the same news story. Tried re-adding widget and still nothing. Refresh does nothing. Also reinstalled yesterday because I was having the same problem and nothing. It's a great little widget, but if it doesn't update it's pointless for me. Had the same problem with the ESPN scorecenter widget. Would never load data correctly or wouldn't update. Made sure I'm not closing the widget in my task killer and still won't update.

I'm a HEAVY Genie Widget user. Its very simple to use and the UI is clean. I'm a HUGE 2nd Amendment supporter so most of my custom topics deal with Firearms and the Bill Of Rights. I like the Genie Widget because all I have to do most times is create a feed like, "Concealed Carry" and I get a bunch of articles related to concealed carry. My question is, are there other apps that allow you to make a custom feed using just a keyword or phrase instead of an URL?

- I've noticed that none of my weather widgets are refreshing...it says no data. Wanted confirmation that this is indeed on my end and not that the servers are down or something. Everyone else's weather widgets (I have weather widgets free and the 2.1 weather/news widget) working fine?
- What is the Genie widget. 7.5 has the 2.1 news and weather app with its widget. AFAIK the genie widget is the same thing.....but since 7.3, there is the option of stock or glassed. What is this genie widget? I can't seem to add anything called genie widget after installing.
- What do you mean by odex/de-odex and what are their benefits?

Find source code for Android's Weather and News app (Genie Widget). It doesn't look like it can be found at http://android.git.kernel.org/ and Google's Code Search does not return any results either.

Has anyone had any trouble getting the news and weather widget to work today? Usually I check it when I wake up in the morning, but it just displays 'network error'. I've tried WiFi/3G, uninstalled/reinstalled the apk, and restarted the phone with no luck.

I cane across the genie weather widget. Was wondering if anyone knows about it and if it is safe. If so, do I have to be rooted to install?

I got tired of the big clock on my screen, seeing as how I have one in the task bar anyhow, but enjoyed having the weather. There are many widgets out there, but I really liked the one that came on the nexus one.

There is a clear background one..

This is nothing new, but I just used the Genie Widget from the Nexus One for the first time and I really love it and think that it looks good with the other HTC Sense Widgets.....So in case anyone wants to give it a try or hasnt seen it before here it is.

I have a copy of the Google Genie APK that has transparancy and was previously using it. Velocity 0.3 has the Genie widget (was it in 0.2 as well...don't recall) and I've tried removing it via a script in the terminal emulator. Removed fine, but I cannot install the APK I have for some reason. Simply comes up with the error "Application not installed". When I do attempt to install the APK, a message comes up saying that "The application you are installing will replace another application". I know that the file versions are different as well. Love the transparent widget.

if you weren't aware, the "news and weather" widget from 2.1 has been ported to 1.5:
Nexus One Genie Widget
Anyone tried this? i installed it on my galaxy and have a problem: widget works fine (both the weather and the news/weather combo one), but when i tap it to go to the news/weather app i can only view the news pages, the weather page force-closes. if i was at home i could get the error message via logcat but i can't do that right now (will update with that later).

Is not available on the phone (Droid X). Yeah sure there are motoblurry widgets, but I kind of liked the Google one - slim and handy. I downloaded a copy of GenieWidget.apk but it wouldn't install - not sure if I picked a bad copy or what.

I love the way all the widgets look in the Smoked Glass roms. Is there any way to get those widgets on an unrooted phone on the 2.1 leaks? I tried installing the APK from the rom via an installer app on the phone and ADB. No luck. Any other ideas? Any apk files I can try? I'm hoping I don't have to wait for root for these.

The Android weather genie widget has an awesome graph. I want to add it to my app.
But I can't figure out how they did it! (they aren't releasing the source code).
Where to find a nice polished graph like that I can drop into my app?

I've been looking all over http://android.git.kernel.org for Genie Widget code but unfortunately there's no top level search and lot of GITs to go through.The Genie Widget is also known as News & Weather According to good folks from Android Developer forum this widget's source is not available plus they hinted that implementation is also subpar

I have a simple widget that sets up its appearance during the initial update.
This involves using RemoteViews:
updateViews.setImageViewResource(R.id..., R.drawable....);
updateViews.setViewVisibility(R.id..., View.....);
The widget's onUpdate method is the usual stuff:
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) { int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
RemoteViews updateViews = buildUpdate(context);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, updateViews);
}

I don't know if any of you use this already, but this is the most useful calendar app I've ever used. I can see this easily adapting to an Android widget, and think it would be very useful to many.
iCalViewer home page | Mac iCal calendar events and to do's on your desktop
It uses a timeline in order to see upcoming events. The vertical line is "now", and events in your calendar move across the screen towards the line the closer the events come to happening.
I already use this on my Mac, and would freaking LOVE it if someone stepped up to make something similar for Android.

Even though I specifically set FB to do not update nor notify, I still notice that in the widgets comments are updated. What am I doing wrong? or What is wrong with FB? I'm using Android 2.1 with latest FB version.

I installed the latest version of Astrid, added two tasks, then added the Astrid widget on one of the screens on my phone. I went back and added more tasks, but they don't show up in the widget. Is this a bug, how do I get Astrid to always show the latest list of tasks?

I am currently trying to create a cuckoo clock widget in which I am facing problem with updating the pendulum sound each second. My pendulum has to keep on ticking each second with sound effects integrated. I am doing update every second and I am able to play the sound using
mPlay = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.chime); mPlay.start();
But after about 30 seconds, the sound stops playing giving the log error as follows:
E/AudioTrack( 2106): AudioFlinger could not create track, status: -12 E/AudioSink( 2106): Unable to create audio track E/VorbisPlayer( 2106): mAudioSink open failed
Then again the same sound starts playing after a pause of about 20 seconds instead of getting played each second. It continues in this fashion of playing the sound file for some seconds, then to the pause state and then again playing from start. This problem doesn't come into picture when I'm trying to update the sound on hourly basis for my hourly chime because in that case only once every hour this sound is played, same is the case for updation every minute. This problem arises only for updating the sound each second. What is the reason behind this delay?

Over the past couple days, it seems like my Weather Channel app hasn't been working properly. When I move to the home screen that has the widget, it will be displaying the wrong temperature and picture (i.e. it might be showing "partly sunny" when it's night time). It just shows the temperature for the last time I opened the app.So, I click on the widget to open the app, and it brings me to one of the screens and it just says "N/A", while a green circle rotates in the upper-right corner. After a few seconds, it finally updates and shows me the current temperature/forecast (whichever screen I was in last).I've never had these problems before, up until the past few days. Usually I would just move over to my other home screen, look at the temp, and move back. It would always be [somewhat] updated by itself (usually every 30-60 minutes it seemed). Now it doesn't update until I actually open the app.Any ideas or suggestions? Or is anyone else having this problem? I am using the Droid Eris. I restarted the phone yesterday, still doing the same thing.

What way is most efficient for updating an widget that will be a clock(Timer/Alarm), but for a clock to really works, like a clock it would be needed to update at least twice in a minute (30 sec period or less).
But that can't be effective? Have looked at some of the "threads/topics" here at StackOverFlow but haven't found any information regarding effectiveness.
(Don't own an android device yet, so I can't really test battery draining and cpu)

I have a very funny problem with my DHD news widget. It won't update. I have tried to force it to update, removed all my subscriptions and re-added them, cleared the cache and stored data. All with various cycles of turning the phone on and off. No luck. It is now a blank widget and when I try to add RSS feeds it won't list any and effectively nothing happens when I tap the widget.
