ViewFlipper in AppWidgets and Don't keep activities
===

I am trying to implement a Appwidget using view flipper. I declared two views in my view flipper and everything working fine. Now from developer options select "Don't keep activities option" and come back to home screen. You will find appwidget with viewflipper is hang.

Remove appwidget from screen and resinstall. It will start workin normally till you are on home screen. Launching any activity will result in same problem. Your appwidget stop working.

From the logs there are nothing coming to your appwidget provider. Every time we launch any activity Home screen activity get killed. 

This problem happens every time with ViewFlipper in particular. 

I am really frustrated, with every new release Google adding more instability. Android should decide either handle activity cycle OR simply handle it like iOS. 

If any body able to get around this problem with View flippers on Appwidget please enlighten me. Or If anyone think better not use viewflipper on appwidget , please share.
