How to add extra preview when adding widget on screen using requestPinAppWidget?

Question

I saw in documentation:

EXTRA_APPWIDGET_PREVIEW

An extra that can be passed to requestPinAppWidget(android.content.ComponentName, android.os.Bundle, android.app.PendingIntent).

So I tried to something like:

...
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putInt(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_PREVIEW, R.drawable.preview_new);
appWidgetManager.requestPinAppWidget(myWidgetProvider, b, successCallback);

But seems like bundle b is completely ignored (it doesnt change preview).

What am I doing wrong?

Replace your Bundle with :

Bundle b = new Bundle();
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout);
b.putParcelable(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_PREVIEW, remoteViews);
