Apps Widget onClick

[blundell]

Hi Guys,

I've written a widget and attached an onClick to the whole widget following the android developer site:
App Widgets | Android Developers

public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
		final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
		for(int i = N-1; i >= 0; i--){
			final int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
			
			setAlarm(context, appWidgetId, UPDATE_RATE);
			
			// TODO this doesnt actually bind the onClick to the widget ARGH
			// http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html
			
			// Create an Intent to launch MainActivity
            final Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            final PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
            // Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener to the button
            final RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
            views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgetLayout, pendingIntent);
            
            
            // Tell the AppWidgetManager to perform an update on the current App Widget
            appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
		}
		super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
	}

But the problem is it doesn't actully bind the onClick event to the widget
AND
the strange thing is if I redeploy/reinstall the app, the old widgets have the onClick but any new ones I add do not.

This ring any bells for anyone?

Well I gave up

Moved my setOnClickPendingIntent() from the widget update() to the widget's service onStart(). This is a less optimal solution as means it will be called more often, but seems like the test devices can deal with it and I've seen it in other applications.
