Hi Subba, I noticed the same thing happening with my widgets. The problem seems to be that the OS doesn't re-load the various layouts after an update. By testing I see that up to android 2.1 this problem exists. On 2.2 the widget is completely reloaded when an update is installed.
What I noticed is that if you add new ids to your widget layouts, then the widget is correctly reupdated also on versions <= 2.1. So, I currently use a simple workaround that is to add a "fake" LinearLayout to my widget with a new id, which is empty and has visibiliy="gone". Up to now my widgets seem to have updated correctly. Hope it works also for you ;) Yuvi On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 12:47 AM, Subba <[email protected]> wrote: > Any help or suggestions? > > On Jul 28, 6:28 pm, Subba <[email protected]> wrote: > > Application haswidgetwhich basically shows the number of new message > > count in thewidget.Widgethas title and Count.When application gets > > updated,widgettitle gets replaced with message count, and some times > > it shows problem loadingwidget. seems like R value not updated after > > app update.
