“_Problem Loading Widget” message

Question

When loading a widget if it cannot find a resource or something it says Problem Loading Widget. That\'s all! Amazing! This message remains on the home screen and does not even s

Answer 1

Just fixed another variant of this error not mentioned in the other answers.

Symptoms were: 1) "Problem loading widget" error on Gingerbread and below 2) The exact same build ran fine on ICS and Jellybean 3) No errors in logcat

The problem was caused by manipulating a view that was never inflated in the remoteviews. Specifically:

remoteviews.setViewVisibility(viewId, View.GONE);

Where viewId was a valid resource, but it was in a layout that was never added to the remote views. No errors were thrown, and the widget displayed 'Problem loading widget' after the call to .updateAppWidget()
