Widget issues after updating to 3.100 #310

Open DatAres37 opened 2 years ago

DatAres37 commented 2 years ago

After updating to the newest 3.100 release I noticed various app crashes in the background, which I couldn't solve with the hints in #307. I then noticed that I could be a widget issue and the app did indeed stop crashing after removing the widget from my screen. When I want to place the widget on the screen again, either nothing is happening, the app (widget settings) crashes after placing the widget or I manage to place the widget, but I'm getting messages again, that the app crashed in the background. The app itself is also crashing sometimes when I want to open it.

The widget I'm trying to use is the one that shows the weather for the next five hours (4x1). I already cleared the app data, cache, uninstalled/installed and rebooted. Also tried a different launcher.

I am on Android 12, and having similar problems with Daily trend and Hourly trend widgets. After update, the app would crash and I had to reinstall it. Now, I am not able to add the Hourly trend (nor the Daily trend) widget to my home screen, even thought I can add most of the other widgets.

Can you upgrade from 3.013 to 3.100 with no crashes if you don't have any widget?

I just installed 3.013 again, updated and could open the app without a problem with no widget. I'm not sure how meaningful this is, since I've already updated several times today, cleared the data and the cache, etc.

This is meaningful as we understand now that crashes are not linked to data migration issues but to the widget. So #307 is actually the same issue, sorry for making you open a duplicate ;)

I noticed today that I had an entry for a daily trend widget in my widget settings, while I had removed this widget a while ago. I cleared all data and uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it, but the widget was still there. After this, I cleared everything again and used the google drive app to remove all backups as well. After a reinstall, the widget entry was gone and all crashes were gone. So maybe something wrong with the google backups of the app?

Widget presence depend on the launcher. Even if you uninstall the app, the widget may still be there. So I guess you had a backup of your launcher app data.

Indeed it was related to the launcher, but weirdly, it was only for this widget, no other widgets had issues.
