That has changed with Jetpack Glance, a modern framework powered by Jetpack Compose that significantly simplifies widget creation.
In this talk, we'll journey through widgets, understanding what they are, what the common use cases are and how they works under the hood.
We'll also dive deep into Jetpack Glance, exploring its features and benefits. But we won't stop at theory – we'll build a widget for an existing app, addressing real-world issues often overlooked in basic documentation.

Furthermore, there will be a live coding part of what I explained during the talk.
