You can not add a widget via an Activity. Some custom launchers (like Go Launcher) have special APIs or features where you can, but stock does not.

I have a nicely working widget.
I have an idea to add an option for the users to launch any (previously installed) app from the widget by pressing the dedicated button. So I want users to be able to choose 1-2 apps from their installed apps in the widget configuration part and be able to launch them from the widget.
Is there any way to add this functionality without declaring this widget a launcher?
If yes, could I get any hints, maybe some tuts, please?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I need a radio button that says, "Add to calendar", if the option is checked, then present a date control or spinner control to let the user choose a date. Once the user chooses a date, it should add the notes feature to the calendar.
Any examples, solutions, or links would be very much appreciated.
For datepicker, a standard widget is available. See this documentation.
For adding this to the calendar, I'm assuming that you want to add it to the native calendar. I'd suggest going through a similar question on stackoverflow
I'm currently developing a simple android HomeScreen with just 1 page.
I would like to know how to enable my HomeScreen to run and display widgets like this free widget.
Thanks so much in advance!
The best way you can use it, just get sources of Launcher application and find how AppWidgetHost added to view hierarchy and how it is maintaining AppWidgetHostView instances.
Launcher sources you can get here:
Laucnher.git
The home screen widgets are added by users based on the free-space they have and where they want the widget to be placed in their home-screen. As a developer you can only provide a widget, but adding that to the home-screen is purely in the control of the user.
Im tyring to figure out how to bring up the shortcut assign menu (the menu you get when you long press the screen for the Home launcher. I cant seem to find anything on this and need to make shortcuts for both applications and be able to do direct dial and saved navigations.
It's called a ContextMenu. See here for how to add ContextMenu to your applications. Not sure if this is what you're looking for though.
To add a Shortcut to the Androids home-screen, you can use some of the code provided here.
I'm not sure how to do this for the Dailer or Google Maps, but here is an example of how to do it for the Browser. It might help you.
Ok so I am very new to the Android SDK, but not to programming. I want to attempt to make a simple Android widget. I've been looking around for things on the web pertaining to widgets, and have been able to find lots of information, but nothing pertaining to my main question.
How can I make a settings dialog that will adjust the widget when it is launched? When you add the Google search widget, it prompts you to specify what type of widget you want it to be. In my widget I'm making, I want to allow the user to specify the widget height right after they select it.
How can I present that type of dialog? What does that entail? Any code snippets or tutorials or help anyone has to offer will go a long way.
Thanks!
Check here How to put multiple widget sizes in one apk?
The answers quote resources for both several widgets in one paackage and configuration page. Still, the size choosing is done not in the own configure dislog, but during add.
