Ok I think I figured it out. In certain cases when the widget is clicked i updated the RemoteViews to hide some on screen controls/ views using setViewVisibility on the remoteview, however I did not re- set the setImageURI. When the screen rotated the Image dissappeared. However this is odd because I would expect the image to dissappear on updating the RemoteView without the ImageURI even without rotating the screen. But it would only dissappear after rotating. When I did not go through the routine that hid the controls/ did not set the setViewVisibility, the image did not dissappear on rotation.
I am curious as to what happens to the RemoteView on orientation change and why sometimes it seems to retain the ImageURI and others it loses it. In any case I have my workaround. - Ryan On Nov 28, 12:12 am, Ryan <rgra...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am building an appwidget that is displaying images from the sdcard. > I am investigating how to get the appwidget to perform correctly on an > orientation change.
