Android Widget Size
When you add widgets to the
Home
screen, most widgets are already a predetermined
size and shape. Either they fit in the space given – or they do not. If you long-click a
widget, you can move it within a screen. However, you cannot make it larger or smaller.
Many app developers make multiple versions of the same widget and label them with
size-specific information such as “3
2” or “4 1.”
