Widgets don’t respond when re-added through code

We can invoke a dialog asking user to permit our app to be able to bind widget IDs with the following code:

Intent intent = new Intent(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_BIND);
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, sSavedWidgetId);
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_PROVIDER, mWidgetInfo.provider);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_BIND_WIDGET);

And bind widget IDs to make them actually work with:

Bundle opts = new Bundle();
opts.putInt(AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_MIN_WIDTH, maxWidth);
opts.putInt(AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_MIN_HEIGHT, minHeight);
opts.putInt(AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_MAX_WIDTH, maxWidth);
opts.putInt(AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_MAX_HEIGHT, maxHeight);

widgetManager.bindAppWidgetIdIfAllowed(widgetId, mWidgetInfo, opts);

For more information refer:

• AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_BIND
• AppWidgetManager.bindAppWidgetIdIfAllowed()

I wish someone would have answered the same 5 years ago.
