Retrieving intent extras from widget

Issue

I'm making a widget for my WebView app, and it's got a list of buttons on it. Currently, It's firing an intent whenever their pressed. In that intent, I'm putting some string extra's, but when the onNewIntent receives the intent, the value for the extra is NULL. So I'm stuck on receiving the actual string extra.

Here's the code on my list provider:

override fun getViewAt(positionIndexNum: Int): RemoteViews {

    ........

    val extrasObj = Bundle()
    extrasObj.putString("shortcutUrl", listViewUrlArr[positionIndexNum]) // I've tried hardcoding this part and it still returns null.
    extrasObj.putString("shortcutJs", listViewJsArr[positionIndexNum])
    extrasObj.putString("shortcutId", listViewIdArr[positionIndexNum])
    val fillInIntentObj = Intent()
    fillInIntentObj.putExtras(extrasObj)
    viewObj.setOnClickFillInIntent(listViewItemId, fillInIntentObj)
    return viewObj
}

Here's the code from the onNewIntent function:

override fun onNewIntent(intentObj: Intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intentObj)
    val bundle = intentObj.extras
    if (bundle != null) {
        for (key in bundle.keySet()) {
            Log.e("TAG", key + " : " + if (bundle[key] != null) bundle[key] else "NULL")
        }
    }
    .....
}

That outputs in the logcat:

shortcutUrl : NULL
shortcutId : NULL
shortcutJs : NULL

I've also tried: intentObj.getStringExtra("shortcutId") which still returns NULL

EDIT:

I also have this PendingIntent code in the updateAppWidget function:

    val clickIntent = Intent(contextObj, MainActivity::class.java)

    val clickPI = PendingIntent.getActivity(contextObj, 0,
    clickIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE or PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    viewsObj.setPendingIntentTemplate(R.id.widget_list, clickPI)

Solution

I finally found a fix for this, I'm not sure how it really works but I changed:

PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE

to

PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE

in the PendingIntent. Hopefully this helps someone else!
