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#...
