Google is preparing a new sports widget for Android [Gallery]

After bringing the Financial Watchlist to your home screen earlier this year, Google’s Android app is ready to add a math widget.

About APK Insight: In this APK Insight post, we break down the latest version of the app that Google has uploaded to the Play Store. When we unpack these files (called APK files, in the case of Android apps), we are able to see different lines of code within those that hint at potential future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ship these features at all, and our explanation of what they are may be incomplete. We’ll try to enable those that are close to being finished, however, to show you what they’ll look like when they charge. With that in mind, read on.

This tool simply displays the teams you follow and their upcoming, live or past matches. Games appear on cards containing the date/time, score, and league. Clicking opens the full Knowledge Graph card in Google Search.

There’s a one- or two-column UI, with the latter displaying the game prominently at the top. The widget can be resized to take up your entire home screen.

You can update the widget from the top-right corner where it says “Last Updated,” while the widget offers two views: “Your Games” and “Popular Games.”

Users customize the teams they follow via the tool’s settings page, which also offers “recommendations” for “games, teams and leagues based on search activity.”

Dynamic color is taken advantage of, while this tool is not much different from the stock one. Google’s addition of widgets for key functions typically offered by notifications makes for an interesting expansion of the search app.

We have enabled this sports widget with Google App 14.49.38.29, which is currently in the beta channel.

thanks for the Revised JEBwhich some APK Insight dismantling takes advantage of.
