Adding widget to homescreen

I'm afraid I've never owned an android device and only have the emulator to work with.

I am building a widget (>= API 14) and would like to test it on the homescreen. However, I have no idea how to actually create my widget! A long press on the homescreen just shows the "Select wallpaper from" popup.

I can see it in the list when I use the Widget preview app but as part of my testing I want to test real functionality. How do I get the widget to appear on the homescreen?

Open your launcher. Keep swiping right-to-left to get to the app widgets. Long-press on an app widget to add it to the home screen.
