WidgetCraftGet the appCalendar widgets for Android
A calendar widget shows today's date beside your next event. A calendar widget answers two questions: what day is it, and what is next. The date sits in a bold block on the left and the next event takes the right side.
What you need
The date works with no permission. Showing events needs Android's calendar permission and a calendar connection, which is a Pro feature in WidgetCraft. Without it you can still build the date block on its own for free.
Typical size: 4 × 2 cells.
Common mistakes
- Event titles vary in length, so give the title a single line and let it truncate.
- Show one or two events at most in a 4 × 2 widget.
- If no events appear, check that the calendar you chose is the one your events are saved in.
