How to Make Widgets on Android?

Widget, is this the thing you want to make but don’t know how? Well, don’t worry at all. It’s easy, and I know how you can make many widgets of any app or function. And you can make them through your Android smartphone or tablet within minutes.

However, before making widgets, you must know a few things, like widgets are shortcuts to certain apps or minimal apps that you can recall. When making a widget, you are just putting the app shortcut on your home screen with a few customizations to make using the app easier. So, let’s not waste more time and create cool widgets for you.

How to Make Widgets on Android:

As I said, a widget is a minimal version of any particular app that shows certain info that you used to look at on that particular app. For example, calendar, clock, stopwatch, search bar, etc.

Now, almost all smartphones and tablets come with widgets you can choose and add from your device – it’s extremely simple, and anyone can do that.

But smartphones and tablets can’t make widgets on every app you want. So, if you want to create your widget for the app you want, you should take help from an external app. And honestly, many apps claim that they do the task, but I only find KWGT Kustom Widget Maker, a third-party app, is a legit app that can help you with this.
