Shooting a “Glance” at App Widgets and Wear Tiles
summary
The talk demonstrates using the Glance library to build real, working app widgets and Wear Tiles, showing a click-counter backed by Glance state (DataStore) that updates the widget and calls update, and a Wear tile with timelines and time-windowed layouts. It names concrete limits: app widgets require API 23+ features (dynamic color), Wear Tiles artifact minSdk 26, four widget actions (start activity/service/broadcast/callback) and a single tile action, and enumerates three size modes and theming approaches.
