Nice tutorial 👍. Just FYI, Glance is in beta right now and can no longer override Content function. U should override ProvideGlance function and then provideContent inside. Was testing this out at work last week...
philipp you literally read my mind , just a week ago I was discussing with my friends about trying out widgets , and here you are with a video
I was waiting for this for so long ❤ thanks
I really liked to see the errors coming out and the fixing!
It's very helpful. Thank you.
You are amazing bro , thanks
This is still pretty convoluted. I hope Google will update Android to interface directly with Compose so that legacy Activity/Theme/Widget APIs won't impose any limitations anymore.
its not a limitation and XML will never be completely removed from android. Just learn it bro
Hi sir, how make widget clock and update every minute with receive TIME_TIC? Thanks you for your video.
great tuto, I love it thank's
this is crazy, I have been for days searching for a good glance tutorial, and now you do it, you have cameras in my house?
amazing fantastic
I've tried glance, but it's very buggy and limited which makes it mostly useless for anything other than sample apps, i had to switch to XML and widget manager API between development since what i wanted to do was impossible with glance and results were getting unpredictable.
That's why it's in alpha
@@PhilippLackner yep! but still a great idea nonetheless, probably will take a year or so before it can be actually useful imo
It worked just little version update well thanks
Nice tutorial.👍
I have one doubt. how can we make API in android widget?
Is there variant setLocale to glance widget? Like that ' resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.displayMetrics)'
I'm using 1.0.0-beta01 and setting a custom color to the Text doesnt seem to work. How can I achieve this? Using "color = ColorProvider(Color(R.color.widget_background))" doesn't actually result in the color I'm expecting.
nice tutorial, anyway, how can we update the widget from the main app?
Hi, this is a very good course, but I am currently encountering a problem at work. Glance has moved from the alpha version to the beta version, and the API has been changed. Can you provide another course on Glance and provide an example of how to obtain the API to display on the widget? I really need it and hope to receive your reply. Thank you
Can you make a simple line chart with labels 🥺 been struggling with this
Please make a video on How to implement AdMob banner & interstitial ads in jetpack compose apps
I thought there was a video regarding whether KMM is worth it or not?
🎉🚀
Is it possible to make Glance widget automically every few seconds?
Created a flutter app and developed the iOS widget for 7 days. Started on the widget for android and still have not got half of features in 7 days. All other tools from Google regarding Glance are outdated, even the examples, so this is like a fluid you try to contain which constant refills. You could be really ahead creating more advance glance widget with external loading api, statehandling and a config screen.
Please sir make videos jetpack compose with sqlite databases..

Can you make video onboarding without accompanist?? 😊
It moved to beta recently!
how much your courses bro?
I can't override Content composable why??? I can only find provideGlance which is not a composable, What to do? Their docs all show override Content() composable, but the Android Studio can only overrides privideGlance(). Typical Android development right there. Any help appreciated.
Thanks to @drhell6661 we should override provideGlance(), then inside it implement provideContet{}, which accepts composables.
I don't really understand why such lessons with such trivial tasks. :) Creating really serious and high-quality widgets with serious functions, with downloading the right data automatically on a schedule, is often more difficult than creating a separate application that performs the same functions inside itself. Especially since the developer is very limited by the tools that Google has provided for creating widgets, as opposed to working with fragments and activities. In addition, there is very little information that really fully covers the nuances of creating and working widgets. And to really solve this issue, it will take a whole course of lessons.
Simply because beginners are overwhelmed with such things and they're the biggest portion of viewers 🤷🏼♂️
@@PhilippLackner I understand your position. And globally, I really appreciate your channel. You give very useful information. But in this case it seemed to me that such a short, superficial lesson can greatly mislead beginners, because the creation of high-quality, multifunctional widgets is often more difficult than an independent application with the same functions. :) Quite often, and sometimes for a long time, you have to find and invent solutions when creating widgets to get around the rather severe restrictions from Google. While the same tasks in fragments and activities are often implemented with a few lines of code. :)
@@AnDiHawk but how big is the portion of devs who have to build these really complex widgets 😅 from my channel, maybe 0,5% will ever need to do that and especially if I make a longer course about it, the views radically drop towards the end. In a perfect world I could cover every topic with all their details, but that's not maintainable and also won't bring food on my table (which I also have to make sure with the videos I choose)
@@PhilippLackner I understand your arguments. :) Just responded to the topic of widgets, as I myself had to go through their development from scratch. With my excessive perfectionism it turned out to be quite a challenge for my task. :) I'd be happy if I could find enough quality information about widget development. But there really isn't much. It is a pity that Google was much earlier in introducing widgets, unlike Apple, but still the question of how to create high-quality and functional widgets for Android is severely underestimated. While for iOS they are very popular and bring good money to developers, despite much less interactivity.
I wonder what Chinese android community have in their pocket about widget development... of many ppl I've seen in telegram, chinese people are so great at android app development...

here is a cookie 🍪
Sadly the more Compose evolves the less I like it.
Nice tutorial!
Can anyone help me out why the parameters passed to the activity are always nulls?
Box(
modifier = GlanceModifier.fillMaxSize()
.clickable(actionStartActivity(parameters = actionParametersOf(widgetIdKey to 12)))
)
implementation "androidx.glance:glance-appwidget:1.0.0"
Lol the api has changed already 🤣. Typical android development
