Do PWAs support widgets


I have some temperature and flow rate readings being sent over to firebase from an ESP8266. In my existing website I can view those readings but I was wondering if I could make a PWA and then create a widget on my home screen (Android device) with those readings.

Is this currently feasible with a PWA or will I have to go native?


Solution

  • Unfortunately you cannot create Android Widgets using a PWA today, you'll have to go with pure a Android implementation today. It's something we (the Chrome team) have considered, but haven't started working on.
