Building Glanceables with Compose
summary
Explains how Glance lets Compose-style composables become real widgets by translating to platform views and Tiles and shows a working weather widget that refreshes every 30 minutes using WorkManager. Demonstrates state persisted to disk with DataStore + protobuf state definitions and shows update calls that write shared state for all widget instances. Covers size handling with responsive size mode with three presets and details color theming via launcher-resolved dynamic color resource IDs.
