This tutorial will not work … doing it in 1.5.

I got the following error:

error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at ‘resource’ with value ‘@xml/hello_widget_provider’).

I was optimistic about this tutorial, but… it doesn’t work. I guess it’s too outdated or something. After all, it’s 1.5 based and we have 2.2 now.
A pity.

Hello…

I’ve followed your tutorial, compiled it successfully but the widget is installed under launcher app, the widget doesn’t show on widget list (when i do long press on homescreen to choose widget). Need your help.

Thanx in advance

Do you guys have a lot of widgets running on your home screen? Remember that all home screen widgets run in the same process. Can you check the memory on the emulator with Eclipse? This might help to find out the problem. You can use your device for debugging over USB too.

I love the tutorial, thanks a ton!

I am having one issue with it though. It seems that when I place the widget, it will work for a minute or so. Then after a minute or two of testing on my G1, the app dies and I get the following message “INFO/ActivityManager(30659): Process com.example.hellowidget (pid 4508) has died.”
Now I do believe that this is due to the phone running out of memory. But is there some way to prevent the app in the background from being killed or some other fix for this problem?

Thanks a ton for beautiful tutorials….Well I agree with Jeremy comments about battery life and also it makes the phone unstable. The code instantiates a new class every 1 sec rather than using preloaded class and after 2-3 min the device shows up the signs of fatigue…Tut is good but design can be improved….anywys thnx for tut..
