Flutter - show android homescreen widget in the app

Question

Is it possible somehow to display Android homescreen widget as a Flutter widget?

I've read about PlatformView widget that can embed any Android view inside Flutter app. How is it possible to do the same with homescreen widgets?

Solution

I found a github project which is only for android in flutter but initially has much to solve the problem This flutter_home_screen_widget_example github repo

Also found a similar github issue26134 requesting for the same

Got two more related stackoverflow questions

Homescreen widget you mean Launcher widget?

@AawazGyawali Exactly

Displaying homescreen widgets from other apps will likely require writing lots of native Android code. Check this: docs, tutorial

@Pavel Sure, I know. I just saw a lot of Flutter packages that embed native views, like this one: github.com/DevFatani/Web_Vuw

And was just wondering, how it's possible to do a similar thing with homescreen widgets

[emvaized]

This github project, as far as I understand, is intended to show Flutter widgets on homescreen, not homescreen widgets in Flutter app
