I would believe that it's supposed to force the app to stop running. Otherwise the button would say Reset or Restart. But it does not seem right that the widget stops working. Yes it does. The widget is part of your app. If you force stop the app, it seems right that everything stops with it, including the widget. It would not seem right if the widget kept working. It's not Force stop except widget. logically The force stop button should act as a single point to reset both the app and widget that belong to the app I don't think it's logical for a button labeled Force stop to reset. I think it's logical for a button labeled Force stop to force the app to stop running. It would be a fairly useless button indeed if all it did was reset an app - what if it was a malicious app I wanted to stop in its tracks? - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] widget stop working after force close in setting page
Totally agree with what you said technically. But from a user point of view, it is weird to have a widget on screen that is not usable after a force stop. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

That's your opinion. IMO, if, as a user, you deliberately navigate to an app's detail's screen in the settings, click the Force Stop button, and accept the warning that this may cause the app to misbehave, it should not come as a shock that the widget for that app no longer works. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Well, sorry, but your grammar is far from perfect and your terms are confusing. Force *Close* is when your app crashes. What you're referring to is the Force *Stop* button - and if you force stop an application, it's kind of expected that nothing in it will work. You will have to reset your widget from your app next time you start the main app. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] widget stop working after force close in setting page
I believe what he's saying is that once you do a force close from the settings app, his app no longer works correctly. kris On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 1:46 PM, TreKing treking...@gmail.com wrote: On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 3:36 AM, dara kok mrpc.cambo...@gmail.com wrote: A button, I refer to the option to force close an app under application section in android system setting page.

[android-developers] widget stop working after force close in setting page
A Simple app with a widget that once a button on the widget is clicked, it will lead back into the app. My issue is that when the app is force close using a button in the application setting page, my widget becomes actionless. I've put a few log statement within the widget provider. after the force close event, the log statement wont produce any text so it means to me that the widgetprovider knows nothing about touch event after the force close action is clicked. Anyone here knows how to reactivate my widget? Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
