Force close while calling mainactivity from widget (android)
- by Shaji Thorn Blue
Iam creating a simple widget, by this widget i want to open my mainactivity.
Iam sending a unique key from my widget class to check whether my mainactivity is called via widget or not.
But as soon as i clicked on my widget my mainactivity get force close.
here is code of my widget class...
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] widgets) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int numofWidgets = widgets.length;
for(int i=0;i<numofWidgets;i++){
int widget = widgets[i];
Intent in = new Intent(context, EmergencyButton.class);
in.putExtra("uniquevalue", "widget");
PendingIntent pendingintent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, in, 0);
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widgetlayout);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button, pendingintent);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(widget, views);
}
}
And Here is my code of mainactivity where iam checking whether called came from widget or not
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mainactivity);
Intent intentwidget = this.getIntent();
if(intentwidget !=null)
{
String widgetdata = "nothing";
widgetdata = intentwidget.getExtras().getString("uniquevalue");
if(widgetdata.equals("widget"))
{
et1.setText(widgetdata);
}
}
}
And here is my logcat
