Android Widget won't have a click

Question

Basically I've got this Widget, that's supposed to show a Toast once it is clicked.

public class WidgetActivity extends AppWidgetProvider {


 @Override
 public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
     for (int i = 0; i < appWidgetIds.length; i++) {  

         int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];  
         Intent intent = new Intent(context, WidgetActivity.class);  
         intent.setAction("ActionOne");  
         PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);  
         RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout);
         views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.LinLayWiget, pendingIntent);  
         appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);  

     }

 }



 @Override  
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {  

     Log.e("YYY","YYYY");
     Toast.makeText(context, "AAA", 1500).show();

     if (intent.getAction().equals("ActionOne")) {  

         Log.e("X","X");
         Toast.makeText(context, "I'm CLICKED!", 1500).show();

        }  
     super.onReceive(context, intent);  
 } 




}

manifest:

...
        <receiver android:name="WidgetActivity" android:label="FXMaster" android:icon="@drawable/assiconwi">

            <meta-data
            android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
            android:resource="@xml/widgetprovider" />
                <intent-filter>
                        <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE"></action>
                </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
...

But once the widget is clicked, nothing happens. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks!

Do you see it get into the OnResume function? Like on debug? If in there do you see a different action? P.S. Probably better to use "ActionOne".equals(intent.getAction()) to avoid possible null pointers :-) — Jackie, Feb 11 '12 at 17:11
Also I assume that you have 'package="Fart.Widget"' in your AndroidManifest.xml right? Typically it is better to use...new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout); — Jackie, Feb 11 '12 at 17:18
Thanks for the tips Jackie! I've edited the code, see above, but it still gives no results. :( — Roger Travis, Feb 11 '12 at 18:36
Perhaps the "LinLayWiget" element can't be clicked? Try adding an image or a button and check result? — span, Feb 11 '12 at 19:03

I am here to save you.

1) onUpdate override should call (in the beginning of the method for example)

super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);

2) Because of this line:

intent.setAction("ActionOne");

Your intents can be ignored, so the code wonT fall into the if in the onReceive. Add a unique identifier like it is done in this post Android keeps caching my intents Extras, how to declare a pending intent that keeps fresh extras?

On a last note, I d change my class name since it is not an Activity actually.

Cheers.
