Google is about to release a new traffic widget for Android that shows the nearby traffic conditions for the area where the user is.
Google is about to release a new Android widget for its popular Google Maps app. The widget will show traffic information for the local area near you. This way you'll know when leaving home, school, work, and other local areas how heavy the traffic is when you begin your journey. In case you are not familiar with a widget, it is the important information from an app that can be placed on your phone's home screen for quick access.
Once Google releases the new nearby traffic widget for the Android version of Google Maps, 35 widgets related to Google's own apps will be available to Android users.that mentioned the five widgets created for Android apps that are Google's favorites. These five widgets are designed to"to help everyone better organize and personalize their home screens."
One thing that I've learned recently is that the Google Keep app allows you to create great shopping lists with a box that you can check off whenever you have purchased an item on the list. With the Keep widget,allows you to scroll through your to-do list from your home screen. And even Google Translate has a widget that you can set with translated phrases to always appear on your home screen.
Android widgets can be re-sized and by doing this, you can change the shape of the widget while keeping the most important parts of an app available on the widget. As a good example, the Google Drive widget can be made smaller by long-tapping on it leaving you four dots from which you can stretch out the widget to change its size and shape which turns it into a toolbar.
