On June 14, Google updated its developer website to say that Android 15 will adjust some App behavior, when the user forcibly stops an application, the system will terminate or cancel the pending intent of the application, and the relevant widgets will be temporarily disabled and displayed in gray.
Users cannot interact with widgets on the desktop until they restart the application. Users can open the app directly by tapping the icon, or indirectly through the Share menu in other apps.
Google’s official developer log attached to Igeekphone reads as follows:
If a user forcibly stops an app on an Android 15 device, the system temporarily deactivates all widgets for that app.
These widgets are grayed out and users cannot interact with them. This is because, starting with Android 15, when an app is forcibly stopped, the system will cancel all pending Intents for the app.
These widgets are re-enabled the next time the user starts the application.
Google said in subsequent explanations, in the hope that developers use the new “ApplicationStartInfo. WasForceStopped ()” method, to confirm whether the application in the stop state.
