Termux:Gui Widget not clickable

[joshebosh]

I can update the text on my Widget via bash script, but I'm unable to click the widget to make it update.

I have this code in the script to listen for the click

        if [ "$(tg_event_type "$ev")" = "$tgc_ev_remote_click" ]; then
                printf "widget clicked\n"
        fi

the output never gets printed... And i'm not seeing any particular function to explicitly make the widget clickable... am I missing something?

Here's the whole script as is

#!/bin/tgui-bash
set -u
wid="c1fbd68b-1516-47ed-81a3-5393d66548b5"
while true; do
        ev="$(tg_msg_recv_event_blocking)"

        #ev="$(tg_msg_recv_event)"
        if [ "$(tg_event_type "$ev")" = "$tgc_ev_remote_click" ]; then
                printf "widget clicked\n"
        fi

        text="this is a test $RANDOM"
        # Create a remote layout and TextView
        rl="$(tg_remote_create_layout)"
        #printf "rl:$rl\n"
        rt="$(tg_remote_create_text "$rl")"
        #printf "rt:$rt\n"

        #tg_view_bg_color "$rl" "$rt" "FFFFFFFF"

        # Set the text
        tg_remote_text_color "$rl" "$rt" "FFFF0000"
        tg_remote_bg_color "$rl" "$rt" "FFCCCCCC"
        tg_remote_text_size "$rl" "$rt"  "20"
        tg_remote_text "$rl" "$rt" "$text"
        tg_remote_padding "$rl" "$rt" "20" "20" "20" "20"
        # Set the widget layout and destroy the remote layout again
        tg_widget_layout "$rl" "$wid"
        tg_remote_delete_layout "$rl"
        sleep 2
        #exit 0
done
