I am using Highcharts for chart rendering on the web and would like to use Highcharts for Android to maintain consistency across platforms. However, I am facing issues when trying to display Highcharts in an Android App Widget.

Problem Details:

  • Highcharts for Android relies on WebView for rendering.
  • Android App Widgets do not support WebView, limiting the ability to display charts directly.
  • I am looking for an alternative way to render Highcharts in a widget, possibly by converting it into an image (Bitmap).

Possible Workarounds Considered:

  • Rendering Highcharts in a hidden WebView, then capturing a screenshot and updating the widget with an image.
  • Using a different charting library (e.g., MPAndroidChart) specifically for widgets.

Questions:

  • Is there an official recommendation for using Highcharts inside an Android Widget?
  • Does Highcharts provide a built-in way to export charts as an image (Bitmap) that can be used in widgets?
