Answer 1

Looks like a bug in android settings, if you trying to pick appwidget without any extra widgets specified you'll fail, filled an issue at google code link

Answer 2

Edit: spoke too soon, didn't see it was a ViewListener method. Don't know if that's still required.

Original answer:

You should call the Acitivy's onClick in your override.

From the Android docs: "An implementation of any activity lifecycle method should always first call the superclass version.

Hope that solves the problem.

Answer 3

Did you determine a workaround? I've seen apps which implement the appwidget picker to run appwidget host in their activity, and I am now receiving this exact error stating EXTRA_CUSTOM_INFO is not present. I am testing some things from the Launcher source usage of this and will report back if I can workaround the error at least.
