Crash on adding widget

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First thanks in advance for your kind assistance!
I would like to check what is running in line 1565 of Launcher.java due to the 
following:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Install the "HK Weather Widget"
2.  Add the widget
3.  The org.adw.launcher.Launcher throws a NullPointerException on 
addAppWidget() (line 1565).

What version of the product are you using? On what phone? What Android
version?
2.2

If you'd like to check what is running the source to the launcher can be found 
here: http://github.com/anderweb

Hiwever, here's a link to just the auncher.java:

Maybe there's something to do with here?  Since the line number doesn't match
Bundle metadata = getPackageManager().getReceiverInfo(appWidget.provider,
             PackageManager.GET_META_DATA).metaData;
Here is the logcat:

Find the solution.  Please kindly check if it is necessary for the <meta-data> 
tag to exist in a <receiver> tag:
Orginally I have a receiver with a customized intent-filter:
        <receiver android:name=".HKOSmallWidget">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.tako.hko.WIDGET_CONTROL" />
                <data android:scheme="update_small_widget" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
However, in ADW's Launcher.java line 1568, the meta-data must exist
Bundle metadata = getPackageManager().getReceiverInfo(appWidget.provider,
             PackageManager.GET_META_DATA).metaData;

To fix the problem, a dummy <meta-data> tag must be put into the <receiver> tag.
