A throwaway test project answering one question: can an Android home-screen App Widget live inside a library module (appwidgetlibrary) rather than in the app itself, and still work when the app depends on it?
Not meant as a reusable library — it's the experiment, kept for reference.
| Module | What it is |
|---|---|
appwidgetlibrary/ |
A library module containing an AppWidgetProvider (MyAppWidget1) and a small WebActivity |
app/ |
A demo app that depends on the module and hosts the widget |
appwidgetlibrary/src/main/java/.../WidgetRelated/MyAppWidget1.java is the home-screen widget, declared in the library's manifest. The app module just pulls the library in — proving a widget provider and its manifest entry survive being packaged in an Android library.
git clone https://github.com/p32929/SimpleWidgetLibraryForTesting.gitOpen it in Android Studio, run the app module on a device/emulator, then add the widget from your launcher's widget picker.
