He provides an in-depth review of widget capabilities and limitations as well as the Android design guidelines informing their layout and functionality. Then go hands on, as Emmanuel shows how to create and style the widget and add interactivity with the AppWidgetProvider functions. Plus, find out how to implement pinning and access further resources to build your own widget host and collections.
