I have a widget that supposed to call an Activity of
the main app when
the user clicks on widget body. My setup works for a single widget instance but for a second instance of
the same widget
the PendingIntent gets reused and as result
the vital information that I'm sending as extra gets overwritten for
the 1st instance. So I figured that I should pass widget ID as Intent data however as soon as I add Intent#setData I would see in
the log that 2 separate Intents are appropriately fired but
the Activity fails to pick it up so basically Activity will not come up and nothing happens (no error or warning ether)
Here's how
the activity is setup in
the Manifest:
<activity android:name=".SearchResultsView"
android:label="@string/search_results"
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="bostone.android.search.RESULTS" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
And here's code that is setup for handling
the click
Intent
di = new Intent("bostone.android.search.RESULTS");
di.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
// if line below is commented out -
the Activity will start
di.setData(ContentUris.withAppendedId(Uri.EMPTY, widgetId));
di.putExtra("URL", url);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgetContent,
PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
di, 0));
The main app and
the widget are packaged as 2 separate APK each in its own package and Manifest
