Glass Card.toRemoteViews() returns null

Using the Google Glass GDK, I'm trying to put together a simple app that displays / updates a live card. In my Service, I have the following method:

private void publishCard(Context context) {
    Card updatedCard = new Card(context);

    updatedCard.setText("Foo");
    updatedCard.setInfo("Bar");

    RemoteViews cardViews = updatedCard.toRemoteViews();
    if (cardViews == null)
        Log.e(TAG, "Appears to happen every time!")

    // Then do some other stuff that fails because of a null RemoteViews
}

As you can see above, the null check seems to fail every time. Any idea why that might be?

My thought is that I'm calling this and passing in a Service as the context rather than an Activity, and maybe you're not supposed to do that? If that were the case, though, how would you be able to update a Live Card? I am capable of constructing a RemoteViews from an XML, but being able to use a Card would simplify things a lot.

That method is not currently implemented; you can follow issue 268 on our issue tracker if you want to keep track of the progress.

For now, you will have to create your own layout XML and use that to create the RemoteViews.
