Android :: Manually Update AppWidgetProviders OnUpdate
Nov 4, 2009
My custom AppWidgetProvider has onUpdate method where i have logic to update RemoteViews
It is not periodically updated by system, but rather, i'd like to trigger onUpdate if something happens (in one of my app Activities). both custom AppWidgetProvider and Activities i'd like to trigger update from run with the same UID
I tried some AppWidgetManager's methods, but no luck, finally i ended with really weird solution: i'm sending broadcast with action ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE and extras EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS which i got from AppWidgetManager
Is it a common way of updating AppWidgetProvider?

I can see there is some old threads about auto updates, but I cant find any answers.
I wonder if there is a way to auto update all my applications. I take too much time go to marked, downloads and manually update 1 by 1..

Does it actually work? I still have to manually update the apps I put on auto update.

I am trying to update an AppWidget manually when a user setting changes on the device.I can tell that my AppWidget onUpdate method is being called as a result since I log some debug strings to logcat in the code. However the AppWidget itself doesn't change on the screen.Here comes the interesting part: if I rotate my device and force a refresh of the home screen (from PORTRAIT to LANDSCAPE or vice-versa) then finally my AppWidget gets updated. However rotating the device does not trigger the onUpdate method to be called, so the AppWidget must be using the RemoteViews provided in the earlier update. Can somebody explain me what to do to force the home screen redraw of my AppWidget when it processes an update?

I have a widget that is meant to change its icon every time it receives the Update broadcast. However, the widget never manages to display its icon properly, displaying the text "Problem loading widget". The Logcat message is: WARN/AppWidgetHostView(612): updateAppWidget couldn't find any view, using error view
WARN/ App Widget HostView(612) : android.widget.RemoteViews$ActionException: can't find view: 0x7f060003 The code for my onUpdate is: public class ImageWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider{private static final String TAG = "Steve"; public static final int[] IMAGES = { R.drawable.ic_launcher_alarmclock,/*and many more*/}; @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds){for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) {Log.d(TAG, "onUpdate:"); int imageNum = (new java.util.Random().nextInt(IMAGES.length)); Log.d(TAG, Integer.toString (IMAGES[imageNum])); RemoteViews remoteView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget); emoteView.setImageViewResource (R.id.image_in_widget, IMAGES[ imageNum]);Now when I hover the mouse over "R.id.image_in_widget" it brings up that its value is equal to 0x7f060003 - the view that it can't find according to Logcat. Using the second Log statement, I verified that IMAGES[imageNum] does indeed refer to a random image from the IMAGES array. (In case it matters, it comes out as a decimal value rather than a hexadecimal one.) Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Edit: Here is the layout file for the widget, where the image_in_widget ImageView is declared.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView android:name="@+id/image_in_widget"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/

I'm new to Android development, and I'm trying to write a small widget. This code works on the emulator and the text is set to "test", but when i run it on my Nexus One it doesn't. It just appear like onUpdate isn't called. Anyone have any good idea what i'm doing wrong?

However... a few weeks ago I was having issues with the Market (downloads were freezing in the "installing" stage) so I "Uninstalled updates" in the Market application under "manage applications". When this happened, it reverted my market back to how it was pre the newer market update.
My question: does anyone know how I can manually update to the new market again? The phone did it automatically before, so now I don't know how to get the "new" market.

I just bought myself a brand-spanking new Samsung Vibrant from T-mobile the other day. I was then informed that the JI6 update was being pushed out via OTA. Only problem is, my plan was to use this thing via wifi only (I bought a 1 month voice-only Flex Plan to activate it). According to T-mobile, if I want any updates, my only choice is to switch over to a monthly data plan (big old $70 a month bill). So I turn to the experts on these forums... is there a way to install these updates manually over wifi? Or is it time to take the phone back?

Is it possible to update WebKit behind the Android 1.5/1.6/etc (prior to 2.2) browser? I know latest nightly WebKit builds has great HTML5 support. So, my intention is to provide html5 video streaming (and other features) support on all those droids. Previously I was able to update WebKit engine on different devices with older Safari to meet my requirements (on any mac os x distros it's easy as updating WebKit.framework).

I know I can save information in a static attribute in a widget, however, is there a way for a widget instance to save the state information similar to the Activity onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) method? I don't want to write to a database for this state information.

Does anyone know a way to manually update your phone's PRL (not *228)? My PRL was updated and now I am not getting 3G where I live. I tried ##PROGRAM, but there was no place to change the PRL. Dialing ##778# does not work either for me.

Just wondering if it will simply "overwrite" the manual update, or if we should abort it altogether. OR, if we will even get one at all if we manually updated.

I was one of the people who got the OTA and when I clicked "install" it just sat there. So OTA did not install for me. However, I downloaded the .zip from xda developers, and I want to flash it manually.

Want to upgrade manually yourself? Download the Android 2.2 firmware for the Evo to your PC. Place the file in the top level directory of your SD Card. (Do not unzip this file) Rename the downloaded file. (If your Windows is configured to show extensions, then rename it "update.zip" if you do not have extensions visible then rename it "update" NOTE: If downloading the file from the above link, it's already been renamed for you) If you don't have it already, download ASTRO File Manager from the Android Market. Connect your EVO to your PC and set the connection type to "Disk Drive" Copy over the downloaded file to the root of your EVO directory structure. Power down your Evo Reboot into Recovery Mode by Holding down the Volume Down button as you power the phone back on. The Boot Loader will appear, A screen should appear showing your phones system searching for various files. Scroll down to recovery and press the Power button. (The Volume Up/Down buttons navigate the menu, and the Power Button selects the selection.) When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the Power and Volume Up buttons at the same time. (and wait for 10-15 seconds), The recovery should eventually come up. Select Bootloader Scroll down to Recovery and select it The phone will reboot again, this time into Recovery. From the menu that appears, select Apply sdcard:update.zip. or "install from zip" (depending on your recovery image) When the screen displays �Install from sdcard complete select reboot system now and wait for the phone to power back up.
Wait a while.. the phone will reboot repeatedly and finally install the update with the new apps. (The installation can take up to 15-20 minutes)

I don't have my Evo yet so I can't and won't say this works 100% but from what I've read and what people have told me this seems to fix the problem so you won't have to do the GSM/CDMA trick anymore. Many have told me that you have to manually update this by going into -> Menu > Settings > System Updates > Update PRL. Let me know how it works out for you.

Rather than waiting for an OTA update, it looks like you can manually update the phone through your PC.....but the catch is it factory resets your phone once it's done: Manual Update Instructions from your PC: DROID Eris by HTC

I followed the instructions posted on here yesterday to unroot my phone - worked fine. The superuser and and wifi tether are now gone. I went in this morning to try to manually install the froyo update from android and me, and when trying to run it, I get the following:
Install from dscard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying Update Package...
Installing Update...
assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop"
. "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/inc/inc/inc
:2.1-unpdate1/ERE27/161494:user/release-keys" II
file_getpropr("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys"
E:error in sdcard/update.zip
installation aborted
what I need to do at this point to get 2.2 installed properly? Will the OTA update work, or am I hosed? (Status 7) Installation Aborted.

My brother received the update this morning, but I never received, and neither did my friend. I am wondering, will this be fixed these days? or does this mean I have to apply manually? I am not a professional at that type of thing, I am not too familiar with smart phones, so I am worried if I apply it manually I would screw something up.

I've only had my Android phone for about 2 weeks now but being a bit of a geek love to tweak things to make them "cooler"...Updating - can I manually update from 2.2.1 to a newer version?Widget - There was a widget already installed with 5 icons, WiFi-Bluetooth-?-?-brightness Not sure what the two are but I suspect perhaps GPS (looks like it might be a sat dish) and Account Sync (circle with 2 curved arrows)Sometimes the phone boots in Safe Mode and after a few reboots finally boots into "normal" mode. Through trial and error I can get to a "recovery" prompt but that has "wipe" functions and I don't want to wipe my data. Is there an other option or just keep rebooting until it works? I read that you can hold the volume + button, but that brings up a factory testing menu on this clone phone.
The phone is a HTC clone from China (Hero 300 listed on box). I have a 2GB card I'm using with it. It appears to be "rooted" because there is the superuser icon.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I have searched around and i have not found a good explanation as to why those with the 2.1v3 leak cannot manually install the official OTA file that was posted here.
Anyone have an explanation for this? I read that it has something to do with a different HBOOT, but I'm not really understanding it. Do you think we will every be able to get the OTA so that we can go root? I quickly jumped to the 2.1v3 leak without fully understanding the benefits of root and now, after more research, I really want to go root.

Timescape has auto updating, but it only updates when you manually go in and update it and even then you have to come out of it and go back in before it updates. I remember with the old builds you can set how often it should update, and how often it should check for new mails, can't seem to find those settings any more.

I'm having a problem with the clock/weather widget on my Hero. I have it set to Current City and I noticed the other day that the weather wasn't updating. ( I live in Long Beach, CA) It was stuck on one weather. I especially noticed when it still said partly sunny at 11pm. It doesn't work even if i try to manually update.
I thought it was just the current city function that was having trouble registering but when I go to other cities nearby it updates fine. And when I specifically set it to Long Beach, CA, it was still stuck and not updating.
Anyone else having this problem? Is there something wrong with the weather equipment in Long Beach?

I manually updated my Eris the other night and I must say I am happy with the update, it has really helped with my battery. What I have done is installed Battery Indicator by Darshan Computing. This puts a battery percentage indicator in the notifications area. I have set the built in timer for an hour and when it goes off I make a note of the battery in form of a percentage. Here is what I have so far.
Hour/Percentage of Battery Remaining
1/98
2/85
3/82
4/80
5/77
6-70
