So, my target is not "what are the widgets" but it is "how to use the widgets". Thus, I preferred to add some projects that make use of the widgets. I preferred to continue where others stopped.

The author, Ahmed Fawzy Mohamed Gad, emailed me concerning my feedback. The cover of Building Android Apps in Python Using Kivy with Android Studio in Google Play Books on my Pixel 2 XL.
