I've started building a Widget for an app that is mostly map centric, i.e. consists of a screen-filling subclassed MapView, Overlay and so forth. The relevant information that is displayed by the map overlay actually fits into a Widget that uses one of the standard sizes, so it would make sense to use the subclassed MapView and all it entails inside the Widget (in the spirit of polymorphism). Looking at Google's sample code, it seems the Views that can be displayed in Widgets are limited to just a few Views (I've seen TextView and ImageView)? I suppose I could live with that (although it entails duplication), but the real thing would be using the subclassed MapView. I tried that out, but when loading the Widget, I get a class not found exception. Is there a way to use a subclassed View in a Widget?
