summary

Covers what actually changed: Android 12 adds new widget parameters for corner/background/system palette and expands size buckets so layouts adapt across DP ranges; AppWidgetProvider update paths still use onUpdate/broadcasts but recommend efficient worker/offload for heavy work; collections need notifyAppWidgetViewDataChanged and remote view patterns for refresh; preview gains XML attributes and fake-item support for better tooling; upcoming Jetpack Compose widgets library promises declarative layouts and dynamic colors from wallpaper plus simplified configuration flows and interaction wiring.
