Available widgets

Add any of these to your Android home screen by long-pressing → Widgets → Vantage Wealth.

​
Net Worth widget

Shows your current net worth with a mini sparkline for the 6-month trend. Updates every time you open the app.

​
This Month’s Spend widget

Shows total spend for the current month vs your total budget (if set). Colour-coded: mint green = within budget, amber = approaching limit.

​
Recent Transactions widget

Lists your last 5 transactions with merchant name, amount, and category icon. Tap any transaction to open it in the app.

​
How widgets update

Widgets are updated by the Flutter app using home_widget. The app:
  1. Renders chart data as bitmaps (using Flutter’s canvas)
  2. Writes the bitmaps and data to SharedPreferences
  3. Calls HomeWidget.updateWidget() to trigger an Android widget refresh
This happens automatically on every app launch, resume, and significant data change.

​
Technical notes

  • All widget layouts use RemoteViews compatible views (no custom View subclasses — Android 15 restriction)
  • Chart images are pre-rendered as bitmaps by Flutter and set via setImageViewBitmap
  • Widget data is stored in SharedPreferences, keyed by user ID
  • Tapping a widget deep-links into the relevant screen in the app
