AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
This skill provides a collection of reference implementations for Android home screen widgets using Jetpack Glance. It includes pre-built canonical layout patterns such as check lists, image grids, toolbars, and snap-scrolling layouts. Users can integrate these patterns into their Android projects by copying the provided reference files, configuring the widget provider, and registering the receiver in the Android manifest.
What it does
- Provides source code for standard widget layout patterns like Action List, Check List, and Image Grid.
- Offers guidance on configuring widget providers with SizeMode.Exact.
- Includes necessary XML definitions for app widget providers.
- Supplies supporting utility classes for theme, color, and action handling.
- Details dependency requirements for Jetpack Glance and image loading libraries.
- Provides troubleshooting steps for common issues like background color rendering.
When to use it
- When you need to implement a standard widget layout pattern in an Android app using Jetpack Glance.
- When you require a consistent design structure for home screen widgets.
- When you need to integrate specific features like snap scrolling or search toolbars into your widget.
- When you are setting up a new Glance-based widget and want to follow established reference implementations.
Advantages
- Reduces development time by providing ready-to-use layout templates.
- Ensures consistency with recommended Android widget design patterns.
- Provides clear instructions on manifest registration and dependency management.
- Includes modular components that can be adapted to specific app requirements.
Usage examples
- “How do I implement a check list widget in my Android app?”
- The agent will provide the CheckListAppWidget.kt, CheckListLayout.kt, and associated XML files, along with instructions to register the receiver in your AndroidManifest.xml.
- “Create a search toolbar widget for my app.”
- The agent will guide you to copy the SearchToolBarAppWidget.kt and SearchToolBarLayout.kt files and configure the widget provider with the required size mode.
Install
Download the skill as a ZIP:

mkdir -p .agents/skills && unzip glance-canonical-layouts.zip -d .agents/skills
Documentation by Google LLC
To implement a widget Canonical Layout that follows the recommended design patterns:
The project MUST use Jetpack Glance.
You MUST locate the requested layout from the list under Canonical Layout Reference Files.
Copy the layout reference files into your project's target app module (e.g.,
src/main/java/andsrc/main/res/) in one step to implement the exact design and reduce the number of tool calls.You MUST set override val
sizeMode: SizeMode = SizeMode.Exactin the widget provider class.Validate that your project compiles, updating sample package declarations, import paths, and class names to match the target app's package name.
Clean your project's widget code, removing unused classes (for example, unused buttons).
You MUST register the widget receiver in
AndroidManifest.xmlinside<application>after<activity>, ensuringandroid:resource="@xml/..."matches the filename of the copied Widget Info XML. Otherwise, the widget won't appear in the widget picker:
<br />
<receiver android:name=".glance.MyReceiver"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="@xml/my_app_widget_info" />
</receiver><br />
Dependencies
Add Jetpack Glance dependencies to the app module's build.gradle.kts
(dependencies block):
androidx.glance:glance-appwidget:1.2.0or higherandroidx.glance:glance-material3:1.2.0or higherandroidx.glance:glance-appwidget-preview:1.2.0or higherandroidx.glance:glance-preview:1.2.0or higher
Use version 1.3.0-alpha02 or higher with compileSdk = 37 and Android Gradle
Plugin (AGP) 9.1.0 or higher (for example, agp = "9.1.0" in
gradle/libs.versions.toml) when implementing Snap Scrolling.
If copying sample data repositories that load bitmaps with Coil (such as
FakeImageGridDataRepository.kt, FakeImageTextListDataRepository.kt, or
FakeTextWithImageRepository.kt), also add an image loading library dependency
such as io.coil-kt:coil (e.g., implementation("io.coil-kt:coil:2.7.0")) if
one doesn't already exist.

ColorProvider(outside of the background), avoid import errors :Import type:
import androidx.glance.unit.ColorProviderUse fully qualified creator:
androidx.glance.color.ColorProvider(dayColor, nightColor)
