Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It work for me by copying all my widget files to the project to which i want to integrate into. Now when i install the application in the device, its widget also gets installed

Answer 2

I'm not an apologist of Copy-and-paste programming, so after a bit research we found a way to integrate a widget into several different projects.

• Turn the Widget project into a Library project : properties -> Android -> and tick Is Library
• Go to the original project and import the Widget project : properties -> Android -> Add
• In the original project's Manifest, add the text between the <receiver>(...)</receiver>, including <intent-filter /> and <meta-data/>, into the <application>(...)</application>

And presto, App + Widget integration with no Copy-Paste programming!
