I have just uploaded a new version of Reader Widgets Pro and Free to the Android Market. The main change is to the WebView authorization process. Google recently change the Reader authorization method for the API. However, it turns out this also affected the Reader mobile site so that automatic login stopped working in the WebView of my widgets. I have tried to find a way to get it working again but have had no success. I have asked Google for help but have yet to receive a response. So instead of getting automatic authorization to work again I decided to do the next best thing and make sure once the WebView is signed in, it stays signed in. This involves using Android’s built in WebView cookie synchronization.
I also fixed a rare force close that occurs when network coverage is poor.
