Question

I have developed an Android Widget, and it was working fine. I added some extra functionality and pushed an update through the Android Market. Now people are complaining tha

The problem for me was also had to do with the XML- specifically I had a TextView element that did not specify layout_width and layout_height because they were inheriting a style that did not contain them. My styles.xml file was not validated for this by eclipse. When I ran the app I got the error that these views must be specified- when I fixed the error, I received the process is bad error, and had to Force Quit.

Unfortunately I think that some settings were maintained, so rebuilding the app was not enough after the fix. I had to uninstall the app-- reboot the phone (to eliminate som persistent data) and when I reinstalled I recovered from the error.
