    copied!<p>So basically my Widget updates, according to my LogCat, and the TextView in my Widget's Layout is not. It updates when it first starts, but what I am trying to do is update it artificially using an intent after a BrocastReceiver. The intent works fine, the onUpdate runs after the onReceive, but the text is not updated. I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that a different context, AppWidgetManager, or appWidgetIds are being used.</p> <p>Here are my methods:</p> <pre><code>String sent = "0"; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){ String action = intent.getAction(); if(action != null &amp;&amp; action.equals("27")){ Log.i("Updating", "UPDATING WIDGET"); sent = intent.getStringExtra("Sent"); onUpdate(context,AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context), new int[]{0}); } super.onReceive(context, intent); } @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds){ Log.i("Widget","onUpdate"); String begin = "Sent "; String end = " Texts Since Last Visit"; final int N = appWidgetIds.length; for(int i = 0 ; i &lt; N; i++){ int widgetId = appWidgetIds[i]; Intent intent = new Intent(context,History.class); PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0); RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout); views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.LLwidget, pi); Log.i("Widget","Sent: " + sent); views.setTextViewText(R.id.SentTextView, begin + sent + end); appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(widgetId, views); } } </code></pre> <p>Manifest:</p> <pre><code> &lt;receiver android:name="MyWidgetProvider"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider" android:resource="@xml/widget_info"/&gt; &lt;/receiver&gt; </code></pre> <p>widget_info:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:updatePeriodMillis="30000" android:initialLayout="@layout/widget_layout" android:minHeight="72dip" android:minWidth="146dip"&gt; &lt;/appwidget-provider&gt; </code></pre> <p>I think that is all the necessary information considering I know for sure that the intent works and the onUpdate runs.</p> <p>Hopefully someone can help me because this is my first attempt at a widget and my brain is a little frazzled because of lack of sleep over this. Thanks, Brandon</p>
