Is there any possible way to create android widget with Kivy? (desktop widget, not Kivy widget)

[Wizziee]

Hello, I'm planning to create music player application for mobile phones. I need to have android widget for android desktop, in which I can stop or change song. Somebody on IRC said it's impossible in Kivy. Is that true? There is no way to do that? ANY?

It's not impossible, it's just that no one's done it because it's very difficult. It requires intimate knowledge of the Android UI, Android APIs, Kivy, and probably OpenGL. If you _need_ a native Android widget, write your app using native Android.

Can't I somehow invoke native Android from Kivy app?

You can use pyjnius to interact with the native Android APIs. It is included when you use python-for-android or buildozer to compile your Kivy app for Android.
