Build Android widget

Hi,

Some (commercial / native) Android apps offer one or more widgets to put on the startscreen of a phone with data retrieved from the app’s backend.

Does Widget have this possibility (any help how to do this from a PWA) and/or do they plan it in the near future?

Hi Wim :waving_hand:

Sorry for the late reply.

At the moment, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), including those built with WeWeb, can’t add native widgets to the Android home screen. That’s a limitation of the PWA technology itself, not WeWeb specifically.

Hi Augustin,

Thanks for the reply.

There’s a discussion in another post (https://community.weweb.io/t/any-deets-on-native-mobile-apps/5817/15) about building native apps with Weweb.
Would it then be possible to add widgets?

Met een vriendelijke groet,

Wim De Coninck
