如何将小部件添加到Android的主屏幕(Home screen)
您不应将小部件与Android 主屏幕(Android Home screen)快捷方式混淆。虽然小部件和快捷方式都可用于启动应用程序，但小部件是交互式的、显示数据的，并且通常占用更多空间。您的Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)带有自己的内置小部件，例如Android 时钟小部件(Android Clock widget)- 这使其成为说明本教程的方便选择。
要添加小部件，您首先需要访问小部件抽屉。点击(Tap)并按住Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)主屏幕(Home screen)上的某个空间以调出菜单，然后选择小部件(Widgets)。在某些设备上，例如来自华为(Huawei)的设备，您可能需要用两根手指捏住主屏幕才能调出菜单。(Home screen)

在放置模式下，将您的小部件拖动到主屏幕(Home screen)上您想要的任何位置。然后，将手指从屏幕上移开以完成放置。
该小部件现在可以在主屏幕上(Home screen)使用。
在我们的例子中，Android 时钟小部件(Android Clock widget)提供有关时间和日期(time and date)的数据，点击它会打开时钟(Clock)应用程序。
要移动小部件，请按住它。当您在屏幕上的任何位置释放它时，小部件的边缘会突出显示。点击(Tap)并按住边缘以抓住它，然后拖动它以调整小部件的大小。

How to add widgets to your Android's Home screen
You shouldn't confuse widgets with Android Home screen shortcuts. While both widgets and shortcuts can be used to launch an app, a widget is interactive, displays data, and usually takes up more space. Your Android smartphone comes with its own built-in widgets, such as the Android Clock widget - which makes it a convenient choice to illustrate this tutorial.
To add a widget, you first need to access the widgets drawer. Tap and hold on a space on your Android smartphone's Home screen to bring up a menu, and choose Widgets. On some devices like those from Huawei, you might have to pinch the Home screen with two fingers in order to bring up the menu.
The widgets drawer opens, showing you all the available widgets, categorized by their corresponding apps. Scroll through the list to find the widget you want to add to your Home screen. We are looking to add an Android Clock widget and there are two of them available: Analog clock and Digital clock. Tap and hold on a widget to enter the placing mode.
In placing mode, drag your widget to any place you want on your Home screen. Then, lift your finger off the screen to finish placing it.
The widget is now ready to use on the Home screen.
In our case, the Android Clock widget offers data about the time and date, and tapping it opens the Clock app.
To move the widget around, press-and-hold on it. When you release it anywhere on your screen, the widget's edges become highlighted. Tap and hold on an edge to grab it, and then drag it to resize the widget.
