If I wanted my widget background to be Material You colors, how would I go about it/ I currently have :

Row( modifier = GlanceModifier.fillMaxSize()){}

But that gives me a transparent background. If I add a

background

modifier, I have to hardcode my color. My

Buttons

in the

Row

are Material You when I don't hardcode a color.

how do you initialize the

MaterialTheme

? you can use

MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background

if you initialized the Theme with dynamic colors. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/designsystems/material3

Aaah I see! Thanks that's perfect!

So follow the link I posted - you need to setup a dynamic color scheme.

There are some glance demos that show how to do this. Everything in this directory is intended to serve as an example for how to use various glance concepts. Caveat: they're a bit less refined than the examples in our developer.android.com documentation. https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:glance/g[…]on-tests/demos/src/main/java/androidx/glance/appwidget/demos/

Many thanks for this @bbade_ , that's hugely helpful. I also found this: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/glance/theme which solved the problem for me. Basically, I needed to use

GlanceTheme.colors.primaryContainer

and to wrap my widget in

GlanceTheme {}

.
