Can i use the Compose-Multiplatform Compiler to also compile androidx.glance.appwidget.GlanceAppWidget? It’s somewhat based on compose but lacks some features and it is also a pain point when upgrading koltin because the android compose compiler compatibility with kotlin lacks behind.

Or should i just use an base xml layout for my Android Widget and use a compose view inside? (is this even possible?)

You can, but the AndroidX compiler releases before the JetBrains one so you really won't gain anything

[Kilian]

Ahh okay so i am going to use a dev build for the AndroidX compiler according to this page https://androidx.dev/storage/compose-compiler/repository

If you are using Kotlin 1.9.20 betas then yes, that is where you should get a build from. Otherwise every stable version of Kotlin has an associated stable AndroidX Compose compiler

[Kilian]

thanks for clarifying

Ignore the misleading header above the table, but for anyone else playing along the stable release compatibility table is on this page: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-kotlin

No you can’t. The whole point of RemoteViews is to not run app code inside the widget host (Launcher/Home)
