Android java add the widget to the view problem

Question

I found the following function that allows you to insert a Widget.

Specifying: createWidget(View view, String packageName, String className)

The problem at the moment is that:

Some widgets have a configuration phase, such as a WidgetConfigureActivity. But it is not called when the widget is inserted into the layout, so some widgets are not inserted correctly.
Some widgets, take up little space. But at the time of insertion take all the space available within the layout.

Any suggestions?

layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/homeScreen"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#000"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/viewWidget"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:orientation="vertical" />

</LinearLayout>

code:

public boolean createWidget(View view, String packageName, String className) {
            // Get the list of installed widgets
            AppWidgetProviderInfo newAppWidgetProviderInfo = null;
            List<AppWidgetProviderInfo> appWidgetInfos;
            appWidgetInfos = mAppWidgetManager.getInstalledProviders();
            boolean widgetIsFound = false;
            for (int j = 0; j < appWidgetInfos.size(); j++) {
                if (appWidgetInfos.get(j).provider.getPackageName().equals(packageName) && appWidgetInfos.get(j).provider.getClassName().equals(className)) {
                    // Get the full info of the required widget
                    newAppWidgetProviderInfo = appWidgetInfos.get(j);
                    widgetIsFound = true;
                    break;
                }
            }

            if (!widgetIsFound) {
                return false;
            } else {
                Log.v("Class", "Ok*");
                // Create Widget
                int appWidgetId = mAppWidgetHost.allocateAppWidgetId();
                AppWidgetHostView hostView = mAppWidgetHost.createView(getApplicationContext(), appWidgetId, newAppWidgetProviderInfo);
                hostView.setAppWidget(appWidgetId, newAppWidgetProviderInfo);

                // Add it to your layout
                LinearLayout widgetLayout = findViewById(R.id.mylockscreen);
                widgetLayout.addView(hostView);

                // And bind widget IDs to make them actually work
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
                    boolean allowed = mAppWidgetManager.bindAppWidgetIdIfAllowed(appWidgetId, newAppWidgetProviderInfo.provider);

                    if (!allowed) {
                        // Request permission - https://stackoverflow.com/a/44351320/1816603
                        Intent intent = new Intent(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_BIND);
                        intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);
                        intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_PROVIDER, newAppWidgetProviderInfo.provider);
                        final int REQUEST_BIND_WIDGET = 1987;
                        startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_BIND_WIDGET);
                    }
                }

                return true;
            }
        }

ListWidget:

Add Widget Size:

Real Widget Size:

what are trying to do, "how can I make sure to add the selected widget to a view" describe it, cuz it's incomprehensible — HeyAlex, Nov 15 '18 at 11:35
I modified the post by putting the images. I do not know if the correct word, I'm doing some attempts. In this case, the thing I'm trying to do, I have a list of widgets like this: ListWidget That clicking on one of them should be placed in a layout. It works, but as you can see the result of: Add Widget Size The dimensions are not correct, the right ones should be similar to: Real Widget Size. I do not know if I explained myself well. — Paul, Nov 15 '18 at 16:01
