Android widgets

[moolight-seashell]

Well, this question may be absurd, as android widgets are specific to android and java.
In any case, widgets seem rather limited in what you can do with them.

But could we even imagine creating android widgets via slint in rust?

eve if i d'ont know how we can do an generic jni things for AppWidgetProvider or even for RemoteViews ?
maybe a generic Image widgets on when slint is rendering ? ( probably extrely slow)

but on the other hand, is it even possible to integrate an android / java widget into a rust project?

I'm not so familiar with the details of android but I hope it will be possible, although currently some integration code will be needed.

Right now the android backend uses the NativeActivity behind the scene. (It could also use GameActivity if needed)
So it all depends if we can put these activity on a widget.

Some glue code in java will be needed, but it is possible to call rust from java and java from rust (using the jni crate)
