    <p>I've been working on a widget and making some advances (I hope) but still can't get it to do what I want.</p> <p>I have a configurator activity which works ok. When it closes I call the updateAppWidget method in the WordWidget class and the widget updates the random number.</p> <p>What I can't do it get the random number to change because of onClick. According to the log I do enter the onReceive() method, but thats about it.</p> <p>In the log I'm printing the widget ID. I noticed that when run from the configurator activity it's printing appWidgetId=33, but when I press the widget it prints appWidgetId=24.</p> <p>This is the code:</p> <pre><code>public class WordWidget extends AppWidgetProvider { @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { //This is run when a new widget is added or when the update period expires. Log.v("wotd", "In onUpdate(), updating " + appWidgetIds.length + " widgets"); Log.v("wotd", " the array is " + appWidgetIds.toString()); for(int x = 0; x &lt; appWidgetIds.length; x++) { Integer appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[x]; //Method that updates the random value updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId); } } @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { super.onReceive(context, intent); Log.v("wotd", "In onReceive() with intent=" + intent.toString()); if (intent.getAction().equals("android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE")) { Integer mAppWidgetId; AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context); Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if(extras != null) { Log.v("wotd", "In onReceive(), extras is valid"); mAppWidgetId = extras.getInt(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID); //If they gave us an intent without a valid widget Id, just bail. if (mAppWidgetId != AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) { Log.v("wotd", "In onReceive(), mAppWidgetId is ok"); updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, mAppWidgetId); } } else { Log.v("wotd", "In onReceive(), extras is INVALID"); mAppWidgetId = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID; } } } static void updateAppWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, Integer appWidgetId) { Log.v("wotd", "In updateAppWidget() with appWidgetId=" + appWidgetId); //Setup onClick Intent widgetIntent = new Intent(context, WordWidget.class); widgetIntent.setAction("android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE"); widgetIntent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId); PendingIntent widgetPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, widgetIntent, 0); Integer nextNumb = new Random().nextInt(100); Log.v("wotd", "In updateAppWidget(), nextNumb = " + nextNumb.toString()); RemoteViews remoteView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widgetlayout); remoteView.setTextViewText(R.id.mainText, String.valueOf(nextNumb)); remoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.mainText, widgetPendingIntent); // Tell the widget manager appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, remoteView); } } </code></pre> <p>This is the log file, from when I touch the widget (note that the prefs activity also has a log printout and shows the widget ID as a different number that this):</p> <pre><code>05-14 17:15:47.453: V/wotd(1585): In onReceive() with intent=Intent { act=android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.rfxlabs.wordofthedaywidget/.WordWidget bnds=[202,177][222,201] (has extras) } 05-14 17:15:47.453: V/wotd(1585): In onReceive(), extras is valid 05-14 17:15:47.463: V/wotd(1585): In onReceive(), mAppWidgetId is ok 05-14 17:15:47.463: V/wotd(1585): In updateAppWidget() with appWidgetId=24 </code></pre> <p>05-14 17:15:47.463: V/wotd(1585): In updateAppWidget(), nextNumb = 42</p> <p>So as you can see, I'm actually entering my updateAppWidget method, but for some reason the appWidgetId is incorrect.</p> <p>Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks a lot!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
