I want to install RecyclerView in a widget on the main screen. Is it possible, and if so, how to do it? Give some samples, please.

Answer 1

RecyclerView is not supported for use as a RemoteView. See. CreatingLayout

The RemoteViews object (and therefore the application widget) can support the following layout classes:

Framelayout
Linearlayout
RelativeLayout
Gridlayout

And the following widget classes:
Analoglock
chronometer button
Imagebutton
Imageview
Progressbar
Textview
ViewFlipper
Listview
Gridview
Stackview
AdapterViewFlipper

Answer 2

RecyclerView not currently supported for application widgets .
