StackedWidget views not showing

When my StackedWidget view was only a textview, it displayed on the launcher screen, but with a more intricate layout (A RelativeLayout, imageview, textviews) it does not display anything

Is there something I need to know about setting RemoteViews ?

widget_item.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/widget_item"
android:layout_width="270dp"
android:layout_height="150dp">

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/timelineCellImage"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:onClick="onClick"
    android:scaleType="centerCrop"
    android:src="@drawable/bottom_grey_gradient"
   />

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/timelineCellTextHolder"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/fifty_dp"

    android:layout_alignLeft="@id/timelineCellImage"
    android:background="@drawable/rounded_edges_bottom_dark"

    <TextView

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/subheading"

StackWidgetService.java $getViewAt(int)

public RemoteViews getViewAt(int position) {
    // position will always range from 0 to getCount() - 1.
    RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews(mContext.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_item);
    if(!mWidgetItems.isEmpty()){
        // We construct a remote views item based on our widget item xml file, and set the
        // text based on the position.

        rv.setTextViewText(R.id.title, mWidgetItems.get(position).getTitle()); //probably only top stories items, editorial stuff
        rv.setTextViewText(R.id.subheading, mWidgetItems.get(position).getLinkAbstract());
        rv.setImageViewUri(R.id.timelineCellImage, Uri.parse(mWidgetItems.get(position).getCoverImageUrl()));

        // Next, we set a fill-intent which will be used to fill-in the pending intent template
        // which is set on the collection view in StackWidgetProvider.
        Bundle extras = new Bundle();
        extras.putInt(StackWidgetProvider.EXTRA_ITEM, position);
        Intent fillInIntent = new Intent();
        fillInIntent.putExtras(extras);
        rv.setOnClickFillInIntent(R.id.widget_item, fillInIntent);

        // You can do heaving lifting in here, synchronously. For example, if you need to
        // process an image, fetch something from the network, etc., it is ok to do it here,
        // synchronously. A loading view will show up in lieu of the actual contents in the
        // interim.

    }
    else

        rv.setOnClickFillInIntent(R.id.widget_item, fillInIntent);
    }

    try {
        System.out.println("Loading view " + position);
        Thread.sleep(500);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {

    // Return the remote views object.
    return rv;

If you are using local image, use RemoteViews.setImageViewUri.

String url = new File(mWidgetItems.get(position).getCoverImageUrl()).toString();
rv.setImageViewUri(R.id.timelineCellImage, Uri.parse(url));

If you are using network resource, use RemoteViews.setImageViewBitmap.

   Bitmap bm = getImageBitmap(mWidgetItems.get(position).getCoverImageUrl());
   rv.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.timelineCellImage, bm);

   // Helper method to get Image bitmap
   private Bitmap getImageBitmap(String purl) {
        Bitmap bm = null;
        try {
            URL url = new URL(purl);
            HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            urlConnection.connect();
            try {
                InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream( urlConnection.getInputStream() );
                bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
            } finally {
                urlConnection.disconnect();
            }
        } catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 

        return bm;
    }

Remove clickable and onClick attributes from ImageView. onClick attribute results in adding setOnClickListener. You can refer to this answer I had written earlier. If you want to handle click event on ImageViewin case of remote views, you should be using RemoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent.
