How can I set an setOnClickPendingIntent for my entire widget layout?

I'd like to set an setOnClickPendingIntent for my entire widget layout but I haven't found a a way to do this. I guess it's something very trivial but I've overlooked it. Currently I'm setting an intent for each of my views in the layout and this makes my code very messy. Here's what I'm doing currently:

remView = new RemoteViews(ctxContext.getPackageName(), R.layout.initial);
Intent ittRetry = new Intent(ctxContext, SettingsActivity.class);
ittRetry.setAction(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE);
ittRetry.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, intInstance);
PendingIntent pitRetry = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ctxContext, 0, ittRetry, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);        
remView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget_rows, pitRetry);
remView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget_message, pitRetry);
wigManager.updateAppWidget(intInstance, remView);

My solution for this issue (years after the original question) is to set an id for the master layout. So my layout has a RelativeLayout and this has an id, which I can use for the pending intent.

You can create a transparent button on top of all your widget views at the end of your layout xml that covers the whole widget (match_parent is important!):

<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"/>

And reference it in your widget code:

[...]
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button, pendingIntent);
[...]

However, that is your only option. You have to call setOnClickPendingIntent() for every widget for which you want to get control in a click.

You are welcome to use a loop, putting your widget IDs in an array and iterating over that array, calling setOnClickPendingIntent() in each pass.
