How do I give a Android App Widget a Label/Name


You can set the name of your app widget to be displayed in the widget picker by adding android:label="the name of my appwidget" to the receiver that handles appwidget related intents in AndroidManifest.xml. It is documented in a somewhat obscure place: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/appwidget/AppWidgetProviderInfo.html#label

Example of use in AndroidManifest.xml:

<receiver android:name=".widget.MyWidgetProvider" android:label="My App Widget">   ...</receiver>

Note: this property was deprecated in API 21, but still works as of API 29.


You can set it in the AndroidManifest.xml. App Widgets might be of some help.
