Sounds like a bug to me. Even though widgets are rendered by another process - the home screen - the widget provider lives in your own application's process.
What you can do is use IntentService, and push widget updates from there. It's not necessary to update widgets from within onUpdate - you can get the necessary Android service objects (like AppWidgetManager) from an IntentService, a worker thread, or anywhere really. -- K 2012/7/16 Gicci <[email protected]> > Sorry, maybe I was not clear in describing the problem. > > The description of NetworkOnMainThreadException says: > "The exception that is thrown when an application attempts to perform a > networking operation on its main thread.
