  1. POWidget fails to launch properly after app has been force-stopped
    text
    copied!<p>I have a widget which launches to a particular page based on the various widget buttons pressed. It works fine when I have the app in-memory (i.e. from deploy (run / debug), however when I force stop the app, the widget no longer functions properly.</p> <p>When the app has been force stopped, the first click of the widget works properly, and the onCreate for the corresponding Activity is called. Then, when the home key is pressed, and a different widget button is pressed, the onRestart method of the previous widget Activity is called.</p> <p>It is odd, b/c the log messages do not appear, and since the debugger cannot be connected, it's been rather difficult to test. Is there anything in particular that I'm doing wrong?</p> <p>The flow is --> <em>WidgetDispatchActivity</em> (handle true widget destination) --> <em>ViewActivity</em>> --> further branch (<code>DetailViewActivity</code> in below example)</p> <p><code>onUpdate</code> for widget:</p> <pre><code>onUpdate(){ ...
