Hi
I have an app with a widget.
In a real device.. the widget shows and functions as expected in debug or release mode..


However in any emulator.. be it Genymotion or AVD they dont show up. I have tried release and debug.. I ave tried rebooting the emulator after installing.. I even tried different launchers and versions of android.

What am I missing?

I guess I should have been clearer..

I know how to add a widget...
But the widget doesn't show in the widget list

Hmmmm interesting....
If your panel - being the first view in the layout exceeds the width of the designer, the widget doesnt show up in the emulator..

When I restructured the widget to fit inside the designer variant boundary, it shows up
