Nova launcher: Widgets not clickable

[Sunny2ask]

A weird issue is there. Nova launchers' widgets are working but on taping any widget to open the app, nothing happens.
Any one else facing the same?

Working fine for me. Tried with widgets for a couple of different apps.

 

[Whoamitosayanything]

Working for me too. Tried gmail, Wunderlist and google keep.

For me, Google calender, one note Widgets are not opening from their widgets, but mi calender, Poweramp etc are working fine

 

[Sunny2ask]

Well I figured out the solution:
Go to settings --> Installed apps --> Permissions --> Additional permissions and then Allow 'Start in background' for the apps which are not getting opened. No way to do this for all apps in one click though

I'm having same issue. Guys do you have a solution?
Set apps start in background didn't work either for me.

Make sure they have ALL the permissions they require.
App won't openif it needs to read/write to storage and doesn't have permission to do so...

I've had all permissions allowed but no luck, still can't open shazam app by tapping the widget button.
I have to launch the app first to make it work, and it does only once.

Worked for me also on Xiaomi Mi 9.
Thanks Sunny2ask!

Can't find this app permission on miui 11.

I have the same issue as OP since this miui update I think.

Fix for non-clickable widgets

After the latest Xiaomi Pocophone F1 firmware updates (MIUI Global 11.0.5), a number of my homescreen widgets today would no longer respond when tapped. Extremely annoying. I could now fix this by explicitly giving the permission "Display pop-up windows while running in the background". For example, for Multicon (obsolete but still worked well for me before the latest firmware updates) and Buienalarm, set

Settings | Apps | Manage apps | Multicon | Other permissions | Display pop-up windows while running in the background
Settings | Apps | Manage apps | Buienalarm | Other permissions | Display pop-up windows while running in the background
etc.

Hope this helps others too!

Same problem for me on Mi 7 Note with MIUI 11 and that worked like a charm..I guess this could be useful for every device with MIUI.. Thank you very much! [emoji4]

I'm an app developer trying to figure out what the non-standard "Display pop-up windows while running in the background" permission is.
If possible, could you please post the result of running the following adb commands:
adb shell appops get com.urysoft.folder
adb shell cmd package list permissions -f

I do not have Multicon from UrySoft (com.urysoft.folder) but com.h9kdroid.multicon version 1.6.2 from H9kDroid which is no longer on Google Play AFAIK.

In any case, the difference for "adb shell appops get com.h9kdroid.multicon" lies in "Unknown(10021): ignore". That line shows only when (by default) the permission "Display pop-up windows while running in the background" is denied, and the line disappears entirely when accepted. There is no output line "Unknown(10021): allow" like one might expect.

Curiously, with Buienalarm, the output line for "adb shell appops get org.yoki.android.buienalarm" *does* switch from "Unknown(10021): ignore" to "Unknown(10021): allow" when granting the permission. Perhaps this has something to do with supported Android versions.

This works for me for Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 with Nova Launcher.

I too am using Nova Launcher, so that may have been a factor in this problem.
