How to make android widgets using python?


Is there any way to make widgets with Python on Android?

I mean, that I know only Python, HTML, DOM, JS, maybe jQuery and nothing more (not C, Java or something).

Maybe it's simple?

I honestly searched stackoverflow but search returned no answers :(

Help me, please. Give me a hope.


Solution

  • Personally I wrote a google app engine app in python to collect and display the data, and then used an app called "meta widget" that allows you to turn a website's content into a widget. The app pulls the content from my GAE website and shows it in a widget on the android homescreen.

    You might be able to do something completely local if you can make something to serve HTTP requests in sl4a python, then have meta widget go to a local http address.
