Flutter - show android homescreen widget in the app

Is it possible somehow to display Android homescreen widget as a Flutter widget?
I've read about PlatformView widget that can embed any Android view inside Flutter app. How is it possible to do the same with homescreen widgets?

I found a github project which is only for android in flutter but
initially has much to solve the problem
This flutter_home_screen_widget_example
github repo
Also found a similar github issue26134 requesting for the same
Got two more related stackoverflow questions

There is no official support from flutter but you can take a look at this video explaining how to create a home widget using flutter unfortunately the speak he didn't post the code. It looks like the only solution to add the app widget android code in the generated code which means you should know android development in kotlin/java.

How to show native Android views in Flutter applications?

I have a native Android App and I want to try Flutter to display all my Android layouts.
I tried the MethodChannel but I feel like I'm missing something.
Can someone explain to me please how can I display a simple view (that exist already in Android xml layout) on Flutter?

Message channels are for passing data and events between Flutter and native app.
What you need is a platform view and AndroidView class in your particular case.
The steps to add the Android view are following:
Create Flutter Plugin (you can do this in Android Studio directly)
Register your view in the Android app
Add your AndroidView your Widget in Flutter app
More information on how to add Flutter to existing app can be found here.

How to Add Custom Animations or Actions in Pepper Robot Android Application

I was trying to add custom action in my sample android pepper robot application but I didn't find any topics about this in the documentation. I read few articles and created few actions using Choreographe tool in windows.
Please tell me how to add this actions to my android project or any way to create it by using android studio itself.
As of now I am able to import all the default animations in the SDK eg:elephant.qianim.
Thanks in Advance

Maybe you did not find this documentation page about the animation editor?
It is as close as possible to Choregraphe's editor, but it is part of the Pepper SDK plug-in in Android Studio.

Android Studio 2.3.1 Component Tree and Palette missing

I updated Android Studio to 2.3.1. Now, when I´m trying to edit a layout through graphic mode, component tree and Palette are not visible anywhere. I have searched too much in Google and I have could not found something that solve the problem. Thanks for your time and attention. Excuse my posible poor english.

Try Restore default layout from window menu, normally you can use the shortcut shift+f12

How can a widget be created in Android Studio?

I recently started using Android Studio instead of Eclipse. Previously I made a widget in Eclipse and when switching to Android Studio, I could easily open it there.
However, I can't quite figure out how to create a blank widget in Android Studio. When creating a new project in Android Studio I can choose between a Blank Activity, a Fullscreen Activity or a Master/Detail Flow. Since I'm making just a widget and not an activity the first two aren't the right ones and the third one doesn't seem to be what I want either.

Hi I can see this might be an old question but. Hope this helps newbies...
I am using Android Studio 1.0.2 and has some awesome features to generate most of the stuff that if you follow many tutorials out there. Is just a click away. On android studio i'm using just right click, select new and Widget App > then every file needed is generated for you based on the size of widget you want.
Happy coding .... !

When you create a new project, just uncheck the "Create activity box"
