Android Question How to publish Widgets to Google play?

[ThRuST]

How can a widget be published with the app? or is this handled separately if so how can this be published to Google play?

The earlier widget posts I've found is from 2011, and the tutorial describes the few controls that were supported at the time.

I want the widget bundled with my app if possible. I hope these questions are relevant in one post.

I found info about Widgets on Googles developer page here

Currently these Widget classes are supported by Google (2019):

Thanks

Widgets are added as part of your app. This tutorial is still relevant: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-home-screen-widgets-tutorial-part-i.10166/#content

@Erel I searched Google play for widget and found published freestanding widgets but didn't know it could better be included in the main module as an add-on. Cheers

Btw, how about the new classes supported by Android. Will they be available for widgets in B4A?

The two interesting types that are not supported (without creating a library) are GridView and ListView. They might be added in the future.
