Homescreen widget, listView shows "Loading"

This answer helped me https://stackoverflow.com/a/23122006/2051381

I had to return 1 instead of 0 from the method getViewTypeCount() of my remoteViewsFactory class

I had to remove

android:minHeight="?attr/dropdownListPreferredItemHeight"

from the layout of the list item to make this work

Check if you are using a non-supported view.

In my case, I was using View in my layout as a divider. and didn't realize it's not one of the supported views.

I just removed it and the widget behaved as expected.
