title: Creating a Widget only application in Android?
body: <p>To clarify the question:</p>
  
  <p>I have seen multiple Apps in the Playstore that are widget only Apps without visible activities.
  I tried to create one myself but I need to define a launcher Activity. Once I use the configuration Activity of the Widget as a launcher the app becomes visible in the app overview in Android.</p>

  <p>If I dont define a launcher Activity I cant even deploy the app on the emulator.</p>
  
  <p>The developerguide on <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html</a> about Widgets isnt really clear about how to handle this case.</p>
  
  <p>Any help or directions where to find information is appreciated.</p>
