hey all when installing my app to the emulator I get this:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(465): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.myPackage.Widget.MYWidget: java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to start service Intent { cmp=com.myPackage/.Widget.MYWidget$MyWidgetService } without permission android.permission.BIND_REMOTEVIEWS
here is the code from my manifest
<!-- Broadcast Receiver that will process AppWidget updates --> <receiver android:name=".Widget.MYWidget" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" /> <!--Broadcast Receiver that will also process our self created action --> <action android:name="com.temp.package.Widget.MYWidget.ACTION_WIDGET_LEFT_RECEIVER" /> <action android:name="com.temp.package.Widget.MYWidget.ACTION_WIDGET_PROGRESSBAR_RECEIVER" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider" android:resource="@xml/mywidget_widget_provider" /> </receiver> <service android:name=".Widget.MYWidget$MyWidgetService" android:permission="android.permission.BIND_REMOTEVIEWS" android:exported="true" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BIND_REMOTEVIEWS"></uses-permission> this is my code
public class MyWidget extends AppWidgetProvider { @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { Intent svcIntent = new Intent(context, MyWidgetService.class); //svcIntent.setData(Uri.parse(svcIntent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME))); context.startService(svcIntent); } public static class MyWidgetService extends Service { @Override public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) { super.onStart(intent, startId); // Update the widget RemoteViews remoteView = buildRemoteView(this); // Push update to homescreen pushUpdate(remoteView); // No more updates so stop the service and free resources stopSelf(); } public RemoteViews buildRemoteView(Context context) { RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout); //do stuff return remoteViews; } @Override public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) { int oldOrientation = this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation; if(newConfig.orientation != oldOrientation) { // Update the widget RemoteViews remoteView = buildRemoteView(this); // Push update to homescreen pushUpdate(remoteView); } } private void pushUpdate(RemoteViews remoteView) { ComponentName myWidget = new ComponentName(this, MyWidget.class); AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this); manager.updateAppWidget(myWidget, remoteView); } @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return null; } }
