Android PedingIntent and setOnClickFillInIntent don't start Activity

Question

In my AppsSerive i load the installed packages with:

mApps = mContext.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(mainIntent, 0);

then i show an icon of the application and the label. I want to start the activity after klick on the icon or label.

I have set a pendingIntentTemplate in my WidgetProvider in onUpdate:

 Intent appsIntent = new Intent(context, AppsService.class);
   String packageName = appsIntent.getStringExtra(APP_ID);
   appsIntent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetIds[i]);
   PendingIntent appsPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, appsIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
   views.setPendingIntentTemplate(R.id.GridViewApps, appsPendingIntent); 

And in the AppsService i have declared the setOnClickFillInIntent:

 Intent fillInIntent = new Intent();
    fillInIntent.setPackage(packageName);
    Bundle extras = new Bundle();
    fillInIntent.putExtras(extras);
    fillInIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
    rv.setOnClickFillInIntent(R.id.app_thumb, fillInIntent);
    rv.setOnClickFillInIntent(R.id.app_name, fillInIntent);

But when i click on the icon or label, it dosn't do anything.

The LogCat shows at any click on it the following:

Answer 1

I have identified three potential sources of the problem:

1. You need to update your AppWidgetManager with updateAppWidget(...); after setting the click listeners

2. I am not sure if you are using setOnClickFillInIntent() correctly. Are you using it intentionally and do you know what it does? You only really need it if your widget contains a collection like a ListView. If it doesn't use setOnClickPendingIntent().

3. Could the error be here: fillInIntent.setPackage(packageName);? I think packageName might be null!
