View 1 RepliesAnyone having trouble with widgets stop updating? Like my clock/calendar/weather/news/pretty much any widget i have stops updating after an hour. So i look at my clock widget two hours later and it is an hour behind. Happens to ALL my widgets.Even the quick turn on/off wifi,bt,gps and such. They just stop updating/showing animation.I have ADW launcher installed. I am wondering if it is that. I do not really want to remove it as i hate the stock 3 button interface at the bottom (why do i need a contacts and phone, just use the phone to look thru contacts, wasted space IMO) and am quite keen on keeping the 5 button.Any ideas? If i power off the phone and turn it back on it's fine again for about an hour. SOmetimes randomly thru the day it will start updating and working fine again then randomly stop again.

I am attempting to query a database and update information in the appwidget screen based on changes to the database done while in an activity so that when the user exits, the changes are reflected in the widget on the screen.The appwidget is being updated with a broadcast from OnPause() and OnStop() in my primary Activity.Relevant pieces of the code are below.The Toast shows me that the data is correctly being pulled when OnUpdate() is called.But the widget refused to change

It works fine but everybody says that doing your graphics in the main thread, so I'm trying (and failing) to pass it off to another thread. Trouble is, I have absolutely no idea how since really I've never used Threads.
The examples that Google gives on using Threads doesn't seem to be very clear and I couldn't really follow it for what I want to do. Could I ask somebody out here to give me the most basic example of how I could do what I'm doing here efficiently using Threads?
I'm trying to update the CalLog to change the name/cached name of an entry. I have successfully updated a row but once i go into the call log on my phone the displayed name is removed after a short moment. I figured this is because the number of the incoming called is not found in any of the contacts. But why would it then clear the cached name that is in the Log? If the number is not in contacts the call log should display the cached name without trying to refresh it? At least that's the behavior I expect.My question is: Is it possible to add a name to an incoming number to display in the call log without adding the number and name to the contact list? I've figured it should be possible to add the contact first, then mark it as removed and thus get it displayed in the call log but that seems like a stupid work-around.

When my Activity resumes, I query for a Cursor (by calling managedQuery to retrieve a Cursor pointing at my database using a ContentProvider), call startManagingCursor, instantiate a new CursorAdapter, and setListAdapter to my new CursorAdapter.
Suppose, at some later point, I launch some thread that hits a web service to query for new data to add to that table. Do I need to repeat everything I've listed above again?
I updated my android application on the market.This update included a change in the databaseHelper file where I put in more data and tables. Normally, when debugging, I would have to uninstall and reinstall the app because it doesn't see the new values in the database.Now, it's doing the same thing on the market.
Why is this happening?How can I fix this?Is it possible to 'rollback' the changes to the app?
I'm looking for ideas on how to have a package that is not distributed through the Android Market (it's in closed Beta) upgrade itself.
I had hoped to download the .apk file from my web server and then use PackageManager.installPackage(), but that requires the INSTALL_PACKAGES permission, which is apparently not available to packages not installed in /system/app.
Best idea I have now is to launch an Intent to download the .apk (via web browser), but that would require the user to then manually install the package, which is unkind.
I updated to 1.5 SDK pre, together with the ADT. I followed the instruction to select Android 1.5 as target by right clicking on the project, Preferences>Android. In this window there are 3 options, Android 1.1 Android 1.5 Google APIs
I selected Android 1.5 and Apply, clicked OK. Application compiled nicely.
If I go back to the same Preferences and select Android 1.1, Apply, I can no longer compile my application successfully. I get hundreds of the same error R cannot be resolved
Then I try to open this project in another computer that I have not updated the SDK yet. I get the same error. I'm trapped until the new SDK is out.
I have an Activity with TextView that I am trying to update from different thread. To do that i pass TextView to the "updater" thread onCreate(..) .. txtStatus = (TextView)this.findViewById(R.id.status): start udp server as separate thread and pass TextView to that thread to print text messages from udp socket
new Thread(new TelemetryServer(txtStatus)).start:

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for the help. What I'm trying to do is a relatively simple task, but one that doesn't seem to be working. What I'm trying to do is display the Orientation X,Y,Z coordinates on the screen in basic TextView boxes. The sensors are constantly updating my Global.myOrientation float array, and then I'm running a Timed thread (I'm very new to threading, so forgive me if it's ugly, but it gets the job done almost). In this thread I just set the value of each TextView's text to the desired value. The problem is that it only seems to work the first time.
It correctly displays whatever my initial data is, but then subsequent runs of the thread do nothign to update the onscreen values when I change the orientation of the phone. LogCat output shows me that inside the run() method, the values of Global.getOrientationX,Y,Z are being updated correctly, and that the right data is being passed to TextView. How can I get around this limitation of TextView being initialized once and then immutable?
Any assistance in fixing this, or providing an alternate solution would be greatly appreciated. Code posted below:

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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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 have recently purchased the HTC Desire and i'm new to the Android operating system. The standard clock/weather widget that comes pre installed on the phone does not have my local town in its database (Lincoln(UK)). is there any way of updating it or is there a suitable replacement app that has a clock/weather widget?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt used to work fine but about 3 months ago it had just stopped updating on either of our phones. I have a friend on my friends list and his latitude position updates on my phoned fine (although her has disappeared also in the last few days also). The only way I can get too see my wifes location oon my phone is for her to open google maps on her phone to update her position. The same is true for her to see my location on her phone. No settings have been changed so I don't know what had happened, does anyone know how to fix this bug?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView (with setTextFilterEnabled(true)) and a custom adapter (extends ArrayAdapter) which I update from the main UI thread whenever a new item is added/inserted. Everything works fine at first--new items show up in the list immediately. However this stops the moment I try to filter the list.Filtering works, but I do it once and all of my succeeding attempts to modify the contents of the list (add, remove) don't display anymore. I used the Log to see if the adapter's list data gets updated properly, and it does, but it's no longer in sync with the ListView shown.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is my issue, I want to be able to update a specific AppWidgetProvider (home screen widget) from a custom service class. I have to build the remote view in the service because I'm also doing some networking in there, which takes some time. The problem is that I can't figure out how to update a specific widget (individual widgets can have different update intervals, using the alarm manager). If I wanted to do it from the onUpdate of the AppWidgetProvider I could just call appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, remoteView); Does anyone have any experience with this or any suggestions?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am making a clock widget for the android home screen using AppWidgetProvider. I have it calling the TImerTask class that updates all my values using this code:
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds {
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new MyTime(context, appWidgetManager), 1, 1000);
}
In the TimerTasks run() I am setting a bunch of text views to the relevant values. My problem is that this seems to work fine, but it makes my home screen unresponsive, probably due to updating it every second. How do I fix this and still have it update the display at the correct time? (I only need to see minutes not seconds, but I want the minutes to change at the correct second.)
