    <p>I created a widget that uses a service with wakelock to update and parse data from an xml and update the widget's UI so that items would "rotate every few seconds (standard news feed widget).</p> <p>The problem is that the UI stops updating after a few hours although the data keeps updating.</p> <p>Here's the code I am using to update the UI: </p> <pre><code>mUpdateTimeTask = null; mUpdateTimeTask = new Runnable() { public void run() { if(which_item+1 &lt; Widget_titles.length) which_item++; else which_item = 0; if(Widget_which_item_ed != null) { Widget_which_item_ed.putInt("WIDGET_WHICH_ITEM", which_item); Widget_which_item_ed.commit(); } else { Widget_which_item = context.getSharedPreferences("WIDGET_WHICH_ITEM", Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE); Widget_which_item_ed = Widget_which_item.edit(); Widget_which_item_ed.putInt("WIDGET_WHICH_ITEM", which_item); Widget_which_item_ed.commit(); } updateViews.setTextViewText(R.id.WidgetText, Widget_titles[which_item]); updateViews.setTextViewText(R.id.WidgetPostTime, rightNow.get(Calendar.MONTH)+"/"+rightNow.get(Calendar.DATE)+"/"+rightNow.get(Calendar.YEAR)); manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context); manager.updateAppWidget(WidgetId, updateViews); mHandler.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeTask); mHandler.postDelayed(this, widget_interval * 1000); } }; mHandler.postDelayed(mUpdateTimeTask, widget_interval * 1000); Log.i(TAG, "sliding update handler was configed"); </code></pre> <p>I am really stuck and could really use help.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>i managed to go around this problem by implementing the BroadCastReciever for the screen on/off intents as shown in a tutorial here: <a href="http://thinkandroid.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/handling-screen-off-and-screen-on-intents/" rel="nofollow">http://thinkandroid.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/handling-screen-off-and-screen-on-intents/</a> and therefore the amount of time that the widget needs to run is much smaller.</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.

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