Android Widget Using Cordova
Answer : Yes, widgets are native Android constructions. But you CAN create your widget for your app with the help of cordova plugin called "cordova-plugin-ace". Made by Microsoft and opened to everyone. Documentation: Official site - http://microsoft.github.io/ace/ Doc for creating widget - http://microsoft.github.io/ace/docs/native-ui/#four I hope it'll be helpfully for you, me and others cordova devs. Widgets are android native constructs that extend a view on the application screen. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/package-summary.html A cordova/phonegap app is an app with a webview backing. Note: webview not android native view. Until someone finds a way to construct a native widget that embeds a webview, then what you have been told so far is correct... i.e. "no". http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/guide_overview_index.md.html#Overview http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/guide_hybrid_webviews_index.md.html#
