Creating Android widgets using phonegap

Question

Is it possible to create android homescreen widgets using phonegap ?

Answer 1

It's defiantly possible. But yes you will need to be writing native code and have an understanding of Java/Android.

And any updating the widget needs to do, refreshing from a web service, will need to be written in Java/Android. As you can not talk to the javascript from the Service required to update the widget.

Answer 2

According to various posts on the PhoneGap's Google Group it doesn't seem to be possible, at least not without heavily modifying the core.
