Widget not updating after configuration changes

I wrote an AppWidget for my application so that you can choose the name of the place you like and it shows you an image from that place.

It has configuration activity (I used the same configuration activity of the application itself) when adding the widget for the first time and its processing settings work fine: I select the place that I like and I see pic;

The problem is that when I restart the device (or it wakes up from sleep mode) when I click on it (widget), I go into configuration activity - I change to the desired pic and nothing happens when I debug, I see that :

appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(mAppWidgetId, views);
mAppWidgetId = 

has id, viewsnot null. so what is going on? my idea is that when the device restarts, the widgetId changes, and I do not process it as I should. BTW, if you try the same thing on the emulator, I have no problems, everything works fine

here is my code:

buildRemoteView must be defined in EditPreferences not in the widget class. I had the same problem, but after studying this question: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#Configuring I moved all the remoteView buildings to configuration activity - now it works
