The most popular android alt price widget, Digital Currency Widget (previously Litecoin Widget) will show you prices for BTC and hundreds of alts on dozens of exchanges.

USER SUBMITTED COIN IMAGES --> http://dcw.phauna.org:8098/

Tap once to update, twice to reconfigure.

Anytime a price was estimated, it is marked with an asterisk. Please be aware, these numbers could be based on cached information even if you refresh. The time the data was pulled from the exchange is displayed. If the exchange is stale in updating it's data, your view will also be stale.

Currency exchange rates may be cached for up to 1 hour.

It's on the app store as "Digital Currency Widget" by The Mad Geniuses, or get the .apk directly here: http://dcw.phauna.org/

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.phauna.litecoinwidget&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsIm9yZy5waGF1bmEubGl0ZWNvaW53aWRnZXQiXQ..

Enjoy!

version 86:
- Bug fix: "Also display as" wasn't working with eth and ltc base pairs. Now it does.

version 85:
- add text size options for all three different sets of text
- allow user-specified defaults for widget display options


version 84:
- allow user-specified text size (android 4.1 and newer)
- improve formatting of eth-denominated prices

version 83:
- improve 1x1 layout

version 82:
- add 1x1 and 2x1 widget options

version 81:
- fix bug that sometimes caused first widget not to update immediately
  after creation.
- some layout improvements.

version 80:
- Major rewrite for compatibility with Android 8/9 (Oreo & Pie). No longer works on android 3.0 and older -- please use an old APK (available at
  dcw.phauna.org) if you need that.
- Widget is now 2x1 instead of 1x1. It was unavoidable because wide margins are forced in the newer version of Android.

- support for estimated values in 8 different old-world currencies, courtesy of rate-exchange.appspot.com. old-world currency exchange rates are cached for up to an hour.
- ability to choose between three text colors; hopefully this helps those who were having trouble seeing text on a light background
- fix crash in some old versions of android (due to SharedPreferences.Editor.apply)

new in version 8:
- when exchange is unreachable, continue to display previous result (and time) instead of overwriting with 0

Nice.  I have been looking for something like this. 

Is there a way to make the text bigger?  I can barely read the numbers.

Thanks!

Good point. I made some tweaks to the widget layout to make it easier to read. I just pushed version 2 to the app store. Once you get the update, let me know what you think.

That was fast.  It is much better now.  Thanks!

Thanks for the bug reports. I just pushed a fix that probably doesn't work for you, but might: when the internet is unavailable, the app would crash. It's fixed in version 3 on the app store.

I am at a wedding this weekend, but will look into your bugs hopefully by Monday.

Thanks man - I saw the update come over - still no joy.  I did make sure to submit feedback when it gave me a chance so hopefully there's good debug info in there. 

I'll swing you 5LTC when it starts working on my Droid X - not much but it's a whole day's mining for me at this complexity :/

Okay, it looks like the crashes have all been from users with older versions of the android API, and I was using a newfangled one for unnecessary reasons. I've switched it to something that I hope will be compatible and thus fix the crashes, but I don't really know as I haven't managed to get an emulator on an old API version yet.

Short story: if it crashed for you before, please let me know if it's fixed now.

Also, the widget now has a semi-transparent background, just for you saddambitcoin Smiley.

It's open source, feel free to send a patch Smiley.

Seriously, those features aren't high on my list at the moment.

Not to be contrary to what other people have requested, but I like how the widget works now - that if I tap it, it refreshes.  That's a lot faster than the Bitcoin widget which when tapped shows a chart - with that one you have to go into it's menu to refresh.  I like how yours works now.
