Hey, I never wrote an android app before but have several years of experience in kotlin on the jvm / server.
Since I have a little idea for an clock widget that I would like to create, are there some good and state of the art tutorials / guides on how to create such a widget. Everything I found on YouTube is older than 2 years+ and I assume much has changed since.

I haven’t looked into widgets in a wild, sort of a dying breed.  But thats just coming from an app guy, these product people have so many features they want and never a widget.

You will prob get some :poop:  for this question on here but just look into the docs, follow some stack overflows, nothing has really changed on widget front drastically.

Not much has changed in widgets which is why those videos are so old :joy:

Also, if you don't know about it, look up Android United slack... Good for more generic Android questions

Yeah. Widgets api kind of came out and never really evolved. super complicated IMO.

Maybe with iOS supporting widgets that'll awaken the team to give us an easy way of creating them.
