I've looked around on SOF and haven't been able to find anything helpful.
First off, I'll say what is happening. When I run my widget, it all works fine until I hit a checkbox on a listView item and run this coding:
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (addCheckbox.isChecked()) {
System.out.println("Checked");
PackageManager pm = mContext.getPackageManager();
final int DEST_IMAGE_WIDTH = 100;
final int DEST_IMAGE_HEIGHT = 100;
ApplicationInfo appInfo = mContext.getApplicationInfo();
Drawable appIcon = pm.getApplicationIcon(appInfo);
Bitmap appBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(DEST_IMAGE_WIDTH, DEST_IMAGE_HEIGHT, Config.ARGB_8888);
// Creates a new canvas based on the image specification
// created just above.
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(appBmp);
// (optional) Fills the entire canvas
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
// You need to set bounds otherwise a 0,0 sized image would be drawn.
appIcon.setBounds(0, 0, DEST_IMAGE_WIDTH, DEST_IMAGE_HEIGHT);
appIcon.draw(canvas);
/// Let's save to a .jpg file ...
File file = new File(mContext.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/test2.jpg");
FileOutputStream out;
try
{
file.createNewFile();
out = mContext.getApplicationContext().openFileOutput("BitmapImage", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
appBmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 80, out);
Log.i("AppInfoAdapter", "the icon(s) have been saved");
out.close();
// Load back the image file to confirm it works
// Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath() );
// ImageView imageV = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.);
// imageV.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e1)
{
e1.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e2)
{
e2.printStackTrace();
}
Intent intent = new Intent (v.getContext(), GridViewAdapter.class);
v.getContext().startActivity(intent);
Log.i("AppInfoAdapter", "New intent started to send icon bitmap");
} else {
System.out.println("Un-Checked");
}
Everything works great and I even get the Log message that "New intent started to send icon bitmap". However, as soon as this is done, I get this error:

I was told that since it is an adapter, not an activity, I should remove it from my Manifest. But, when I do this, I get this error:
12-14 12:57:04.047: E/AndroidRuntime(708): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.example.awesomefilebuilderwidget/com.example.awesomefilebuilderwidget.GridViewAdapter}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
It seems as though I am stuck between the choice of having the class or not.
I haven't had this issue up until now and I have tried cleaning my project.
Please help!
I was told that since it is an adapter, not an activity, I should remove it from my Manifest.
Correct.
But, when I do this, I get this error:
That would be because in your code shown above, you are calling startActivity() incorrectly, trying to start GridViewAdapter as an activity. GridViewAdapter is not an activity. If you want to start an activity, write an activity, add it to the manifest, and then call startActivity() for your newly-written activity.
You can learn more about activities in the documentation.
