How to set RecyclerView in android widget

Question

From : https://developer.android.com/training/material/lists-cards.html

I want to set RecyclerView in widget on home screen. Is it possible, and if it is, how to do it? Give some samples please.

Answer 1

RecyclerView is not supported to be used as a RemoteView. See CreatingLayout

A RemoteViews object (and, consequently, an App Widget) can support the following layout classes:

FrameLayout
LinearLayout
RelativeLayout
GridLayout

And the following widget classes:
AnalogClock
Button Chronometer
ImageButton
ImageView
ProgressBar
TextView
ViewFlipper
ListView
GridView
StackView
AdapterViewFlipper

Answer 2

RecyclerView is not presently supported for app widgets.
