Is there a way to know if some user is clicked on the Home Screen of Android device. Something like homeScreen.onclicklistener
I tried to create a widgets and to listen for clicks, but this is not possible task, because there is no way to create widgets programmatically(auto adding), or maybe I don't know how to do it. I know this way is wrong but I had to tried.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to edit the application menu in Android (where all apps and widgets are displayed).
Like this:
I would like to create an app where you can select how the icons (applications) are shown in this menu. I'm not sure if it is even called "application menu" so I'm having some trouble to find some more info about this matter.
If anyone could help me find a way to override the original layout or point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!
What you are showing in the pic, is called a Launcher.
You can create a custom Launcher. Check this question to get started.
Go Launcher have a nice first-time tutorial. it is very similar to Stock ICS first time run. I want to learn how to make the similar tutorial display at the first launch of my app. How can I implement this Transparent view (which interacts with screen objects) in my android app?
I was trying to do something similar using a transparent activity with a viewpager inside it. I wanted static 'tutorial' images that users could swipe through.
One of the answers to my question mentioned an interesting library (called ShowcaseView). It seems like it may be a good fit for your requirements as well.

You can either use a FrameLayout or RelativeLayout as root of your Activity/Fragment, and put your "first time" View upon content with a (almost) transparent background, or use another Activity/Fragment themed with a transluscent window. (like this)
I'd rather use an Activity/Fragment, but this is up to you!
I wrote little library That contains a simple component for making a app tour. It`s very restricted to my case but maybe could be your case . Single LessonCardView Showed onstartactivity for the first time or on button click Any criticism ,help or advice will be appreciated. thanks https://github.com/dnocode/DnoLib
You can implement a first-time user guide with the Spotlight library by TakuSemba.
It is similar to the one shared above and it is still well-maintained (as of 2021).

I am developing an application in android. I have an Activity where I have a couple of buttons. Among them when I click on one button, I want to get dropdown like iPhone default picker.
To achieve that, I am using Android wheel concept. I have implemented like this, when I click on the button, it is calling another activity where my required custom layout is shown. Problem is custom layout should come from bottom of the screen in the same activity where the button I am clicking exists.
I have attached a screenshot. I want to achieve as shown in the screenshot (missing).
Please help me providing the required solution. Pardon me if there any mistakes in my question. This is the first time to ask a question.
Since the lack of a screenshot that helps to understand your issue, this is more some kind of guess: Are you known to the concept of Spinners in Android? They provide a dropdown mechanism and are easily implemented.
possible duplicate,
hello all,
I am not getting the reason that why ToggleButton was not available for application widget (Home screen widget).
I have google it but not getting any reason. Does anybody knows the reason

App Widget layouts are based on RemoteView, which does not support every kind of layout or view widget:
