flutter-adding-home-screen-widgets

flutter-adding-home-screen-widgets is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mdazadhossain95/flutter-agent-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,988 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding small information panels and quick actions to an app’s Android and iPhone home screens. It covers the Flutter code and the native platform code needed for those panels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add glanceable information or quick actions to home screens, including shared storage and update handling on iOS and Android.
Why use it?
Flutter alone does not provide the complete native implementation for home screen widgets. The guide explains how the app shares data with the operating system and refreshes the widget.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

flutter-adding-home-screen-widgets scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Implementing Flutter Home Screen Widgets

Contents

Architecture & Data Flow

Home Screen Widgets require native UI implementation (SwiftUI for iOS, XML/Kotlin for Android). The Flutter app communicates with these native widgets via shared local storage (UserDefaults on iOS, SharedPreferences on Android) using the home_widget package.

  • Data Write: Flutter app writes key-value pairs or renders images to a shared container.
  • Trigger: Flutter app signals the native OS to update the widget.
  • Data Read: Native widget wakes up, reads the key-value pairs or images from the shared container, and updates its UI.

Flutter Integration Workflow

Use this checklist to implement the Dart side of the Home Screen Widget integration.

  • Step 1: Initialize the App Group. Call HomeWidget.setAppGroupId('<YOUR_APP_GROUP>') in initState() or app startup.
  • Step 2: Save Data. Use HomeWidget.saveWidgetData<T>('key', value) to write data to shared storage.
  • Step 3: Trigger Update. Call HomeWidget.updateWidget(iOSName: 'YourIOSWidget', androidName: 'YourAndroidWidget') to notify the OS.
  • Step 4: Validate. Run Flutter build -> review console for missing plugin registrations -> fix.

iOS Implementation Workflow

If targeting iOS, implement the widget using Xcode and SwiftUI.

  • Step 1: Create Target. Open ios/Runner.xcworkspace in Xcode. Add a new Widget Extension target. Disable "Include Live Activity" and "Include Configuration Intent" unless explicitly required.
  • Step 2: Configure App Groups. Add the App Groups capability to both the Runner target and the Widget Extension target. Ensure the App Group ID matches the one used in Dart.
  • Step 3: Define TimelineEntry. Create a struct conforming to TimelineEntry to hold the data passed from shared storage.
  • Step 4: Implement TimelineProvider.
    • In getSnapshot and getTimeline, instantiate UserDefaults(suiteName: "<YOUR_APP_GROUP>").
    • Extract values using userDefaults?.string(forKey: "your_key").
    • Return the populated TimelineEntry.
  • Step 5: Build UI. Implement the SwiftUI View to display the data from the TimelineEntry.
  • Step 6: Validate. Run Xcode build for the Widget Extension -> review provisioning/App Group errors -> fix.
