If your widget is too large, check these:
- Android UI guidelines has standard widget sizes, as well as shows the
grid on which widgets are laid out:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html#sizes
- Check your <appwidget-provider> XML file (usually
res/xml/widget_info.xml), specifically, android:minWidth and
android:minHeight. I use 70dp and 72dp for these, but my widgets are a
little larger than the standard ones (trying to match HTC Sense),
although they still fit the standard grid.
- Check the widget's layout file, specifically, its width and height. If
necessary, specify explicit width and height to match the
<appwidget-provider> and a solid background color to see which elements
of your widget layout do not fit.

Right I under stand that its a grid layout but my Icon is taking up 2
- 3 grid spaces....HTC Aria shows you the grid space and mine is massive

Home screen Widgets are laid out on a grid, so no matter how
compact you make your layout, it won't get any closer to other
widgets.
Also, you should not be using pixel dimensions in the layout - use
device-independent "do" units.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to make a widget to show on the home screen(s). My
problem
is lets say I set my icon to 30x30 when I load the widget on the
screen the Icon is the correct size BUT the layout itself takes up a
lot more space than what is actually needed. This means that I can't
really place my widget next to other icons on the screen. Its
like the
bounding box is 3 times bigger than the content that fills it. How do
I fix this? Here is my XML....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:id="@+id/widget"
android:layout_width="30px"
android:layout_height="30px"
android:focusable="true"
>
<ImageView android:id="@+id/widgWeatherIcon"
android:layout_width="30px"
android:layout_height="30px"
android:src="@drawable/asdf_widgettester"
>
</ImageView>
<TextView android:id="@+id/widgCurrTemp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="100"
android:layout_below="@id/widgWeatherIcon">
</TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
I have tried wrap_content and other width/height settings but nothing
seems to reduce the "Box" around my widget content..... Im super
confused. I clicked on my ATK widget and started to drag it around on
my HTC Aria and it shows the bounding box around the widget and that
one is the same size of the content inside same with all the other
widgets on my screens.
Thanks so much for the help and advice!
Tommy
