I am modifying a widget product, including an all-new screen layout. The
development is going well and I'm about ready to release the update, but
am having a very "interesting" anomaly on my Nexus 5 with the recent
Lollipop upgrade. Basically, no matter what I do, the widget preview
shown in the launcher's widget screen is the one from the previous
version that was installed -- not the updated one in my widget. The old
preview graphic does not exist anywhere in my project structure and I
even gave the new preview a different name.
The really strange thing is that the old image persists even if I
completely uninstall the widget from the Apps Manager, then reboot the
phone and install the new version. Interestingly, when I press and hold
the preview image and begin to drag it onto my home screen, the image
changes to the new one as I drag it! Obviously, the launcher has the old
image cached somewhere and does not clear it out when the widget is
deleted and does not check to see if it has changed when installing the
same widget again. The preview on the widget screen does update as
expected on my other devices.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this a Lollipop bug?
