In my application I have recenlty added a home screen widget. Everything works fine except when trying to add a widget for the first time. Instead of opening the config Activity an ANR appears.
I'm guessing that since it works just fine after the first crash, the crash is probably caused by some undefined value. Or perhaps I have not understood the flow of things regarding an appWidget.
My Receiver is declared in the manifest with meta-data which points to the Activity used for preferences. This Activity consist of a spinner and a button. When the button is pressed an 'empty' RemoteView is passed to the host and a broadcast is sent to my service which will try to load data from a server. Do i need to pass a RemoteView to the host before user interaction?
The log entry makes no sense to me. I'm hoping that someone has a better understanding of log output than me:

Why do I get an ANR instead of the Activity referenced in android:configure?
I could paste more code if only I knew which parts are important here.
