Material You marked a resurgence of widgets, so that almost all Google applications have gained at least a couple of them, in addition to renewing the ones they already had. Two new widgets are now generally available: the one from Google TV and the one from Finance.
The Google TV widget, which we have known since February, allows us to see a series of recommendations for series and movies, although the most relevant thing is the shortcut to open the Android TV remote control, well by hand. The Finance widget, for its part, becomes official after being in beta for several months.
A finance widget and another Google TV widget
You have two more Google widgets available to decorate your home page: one for finance and one for entertainment. He Finance widget is part of the Google app and, as might be expected, it is closely related to the Google finance service.
You will find this new widget, called My finance list, among the widgets available in the Google application. In it we will see the evolution of a value and a summary of the rest of the actions that we follow, with a Material You design that will adapt the color of the widget elements to the color palette that is being used in the system at that moment.
From the widget settings (with the button that appears in some launchers when you long touch the widget) we can choose which is the main value that we are going to see at the top and with a graph, to choose between the one with the greatest variation or a manual one of our own. list. We can also choose how the rest of the investments on our list are ordered: by name, symbol or daily variation, ascending or descending.
On the other hand we have the new Google TV widget, the first of the application. In it we are going to see a selection of recommendations to see in the different services to which we have access, a shortcut to search and, the most interesting in my opinion, the shortcut to open the remote control.
Pressing the remote control button opens the setup screen. android tv remote control superimposed directly on the home screen, thus being one more way to do the same thing.
The widget is also active for everyonealthough in my case it still didn’t appear until I forced the application to close and opened it again.
