This is not even possible with android widgets. I can't do this, sorry.

huh why not, again what google repo do i make an issue in

[OxygenCobalt]

Well, I need to get technical for this.

Android widgets are not fully controlled by the app. The app sends a layout that can only be composed of UI components provided by stock android, and a limited set of commands to change things like icons or tints. There is no way to update a widget in real-time in order to do something like this. This has been the widget system for ten years now and I seriously doubt you can change it.

how abour you put in an issue in a repo! if you want you could pull request but yikes ancient code

[RustoMCSpit]

what repo is it

I think you underestimate how complicated this would be. Any issue would be ignored by the android team for more important tasks, and a PR would have to rip out the internals of the OS and entirely replace it. Google does not want to change the widget system. If they did, the "Widget Refresh" in Android 12 would be significantly better. If you really want to try in futility to get the attention of the team, go to issuetracker.google.com.

i mean, idk what to write so could you do it, sorry

oh and if youre going to ask could you ask avout the two songs at once too

[OxygenCobalt]

i mean, idk what to write so could you do it, sorry

I dug around in the issue tracker, and I found a very similar issue that functionally asks what I would need for this: The ability to use my own custom visuals in the widget. It's at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36964103, and the response seems to be that this is not allowed since it would possibly allow exploits that could hack your phone.

I tried to do what you told me and a song and a cover of the song at once, and I don't get it. They don't harmonize at all and it's distracting. Honestly, I don't want to do it. Sorry.

well i mean is this a visual or more so a custom interactive feature

[RustoMCSpit]

how would it allow exploits?

I don't know what you mean by "AI cover".

well i mean is this a visual or more so a custom interactive feature

Can you clarify? An equalizer is 100% a custom visual.

how would it allow exploits?

It's arbitrary code specified by the app that is ran in a much more privileged area (the home launcher). That can easily be abused.

sounds like the home launcher should have a sandboxed widget area

[RustoMCSpit]

[RustoMCSpit]

It seems like we're getting nowhere with this. I'm locking this thread. Sorry.
