'How to update appwidget after installation a new version of the application over previous version?
I have an appwidget application. After install a new version of my app over the previous one the appwidget (which was on the Home Screen) stops showing all the information - calendar events + month calendar. I see only empty widget background. I used Intent.ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED, trying to update the appwdget in onReceive (plus necessary code in Manifest), but it didn't help... Code is below:
if (
intent.action.equals(ACTION_AUTO_UPDATE_PERIOD) ||
intent.action.equals(Intent.ACTION_DATE_CHANGED) ||
intent.action.equals(Intent.ACTION_TIME_CHANGED) ||
intent.action.equals(Intent.ACTION_TIMEZONE_CHANGED) ||
intent.action.equals(Intent.ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED) ||
intent.action.equals(Intent.ACTION_PROVIDER_CHANGED) ||
intent.action.equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED) ||
intent.action.equals(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE) ||
intent.action.equals(Intent.ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED)
) {
val thisAppWidget = ComponentName(
context.packageName, javaClass.name
)
val appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager
.getInstance(context)
val ids = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(thisAppWidget)
// Update widgets
for (appWidgetId in ids) {
updateWidgetPeriod(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId)
}
}
How to update actual appwidget after installation a new version of the application over the previous one?
Thank you in advance.
