因为
AppWidgetProvider
扩展自
BroadcastReceiver
, 所以,你不能保证回调函数完成调用后,
AppWidgetProvider
还在继续运行。
,如果你的App Widget的初始化需要多达几秒的时间(比如需要进行WEB请求),而且希望AppWidgetProvider的进程能够长久运行,那么你可以考虑在onUpdate() 中启动一个Service。
在这个Service,你可以更新你的App Widget,这样就不用担心AppWidgetProvider因为ANR错误而被迫关闭。具体参照
示例1
示例1
UpdateService,
该方法应该过时,我在这里将它换为了
onStartCommand。

注意1:
原文的Service用的是
注意2:
manager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, updateViews);
这里表示的是对
WordWidget
的所有实例都用updateView进行更新。
