so please help, to overcome this issue, thank you..
finally i solved it, because RemoteViewsFactory caches the factory it creates for each widget ID. Hence when the same widget sends a request to create a new factory (through your Widget Adapter Service), the same factory is returned. Hence, the list view is not "updated".
so i tried (updateWidgetListView())
& onGetViewFactory()
