“_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

Problem Loading the widget results from problem/s in your widget layout!

There are only limited amount of resource you can use in the widget.Make sure you use the proper elements and their fields.

A RemoteViews object (and, consequently, an App Widget) can support the following ... widget classes:

AnalogClock
Button
...

Developer docs

My problem was: I had this Button's field which was not supported

android:onClick="onClick" 

Deleting this enabled the widget to appear where placed (if placed previously) and in the menu of available widgets.

In fact setting android:onClick= for any View results in this error.
