hey all when installing my app to the emulator I get this:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(465): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.myPackage.Widget.MYWidget: java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to start service Intent { cmp=com.myPackage/.Widget.MYWidget$MyWidgetService } without permission android.permission.BIND_REMOTEVIEWS
here is the code from my manifest
<!-- Broadcast Receiver that will process AppWidget updates -->
<receiver android:name=".Widget.MYWidget" android:label="@string/app_name">
