# glance

Starting again to play with Glance with alpha5 but I'm facing a strange issue and have no idea where to start looking. It seems there's a race internally And when calling

AGlanceWidget().updateAll(it)
BGlanceWidget().updateAll(it)

Then something the wrong widget content is rendered (Like A is rendered in B widget)

[Tolriq]

Those are 2 different widgets with 2 different configs and receivers and everything, not 2 instance of the same widget

Do they use a different GlanceStateDefinition?

[Tolriq]

I don't use them, but I found the issue I was calling updateAll from the wrong one in one case and sometimes this triggered this. Is there a way to trigger the proper widget update from just the glanceId?

[Marcel Pinto]

Do you mean only knowing the GlanceID without knowing from which provider/widget comes from?

[Tolriq]

Yes I have the GlanceID and want to refresh that widget without any more knowledge of the actual widget. Like a global loading image to cache then the cache refresh the widget when it's loaded.

[Tolriq]

Currently I pass a callback that does the Widget().update() but this is strange to have to do that.

[Marcel Pinto]

not sure that’s possible. You would need to know at least the existing providers and then loop through their ids

In normal widget code this is possible it would be a nice addition.
