Software widgets are relatively simple and easy-to-use software applications or components made for one or more different software platforms. Popular examples of widgets include event countdowns, website visitors counter, clocks, daily weather report, etc. This video shows how to create simple widgets for Android.
Customizing the widget update interval is one of the most useful skills in Android development. Standard widgets have a minimum of a 30-minute update interval. It helps developers add background tasks for widget updates, so this video explains how to update at the desired time interval (even lower than 30 minutes). Also, with background service the widget can download online data and update at specific time.
