As stated in the page provided by you:
This AppWidgetProvider defines only the onUpdate() method for the purpose of defining a PendingIntent that launches an Activity and attaching it to the App Widget's button with setOnClickPendingIntent(int, PendingIntent). Notice that it includes a loop that iterates through each entry in appWidgetIds, which is an array of IDs that ide
Also:
As described in Using the AppWidgetProvider Class, you normally use setOnClickPendingIntent() to set an object's click behavior—such as to cause a button to launch an Activity. But this approach is not allowed for child views in an individual collection item (to clarify, you could use setOnClickPendingIntent() to set up a global button in the Gmail app widget that launches the app, for example, but not on the individual list items). Instead, to add click behavior to individual items in a collection, you use setOnClickFillInIntent(). This entails setting up up a pending intent template for your collection view, and then setting a fill-in intent on each item in the collection via your RemoteViewsFactory.
What about that example from the link that you provided? I didn't read that page carefully (you definitely should), but shouldn't you setOnClickPendingIntent() or setOnClickFillInIntent()?:
public class ExampleAppWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
// Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
// Create an Intent to launch ExampleActivity
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
// Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener
// to the button
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.appwidget_provider_layout);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button, pendingIntent);
// Tell the AppWidgetManager to perform an update on the current app widget
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
}
