We can't reproduce this issue. what happens if you add the widget manually? does that work?

@Lalisfeed Hi, can I work on this issue, if it's still available?

[cmonfortep]

@jayesh-srivastava can you reproduce it on your device?

[jayesh-srivastava]

@jayesh-srivastava can you reproduce it on your device?

Trying to reproduce it in the emulator.

[jayesh-srivastava]

Hey @cmonfortep I just reproduced it on my emulator.

[cmonfortep]

Thanks @jayesh-srivastava. Could you briefly explain what's the issue? I wonder why I'm not able to reproduce it on my device.

[jayesh-srivastava]

Yes sure. You need to add one directory(src) inside the bloom_cpp directory (Android\app\src\main\cpp\third-party\bloom_cpp) and inside that directory you need to add two files (BloomFilter.cpp and BloomFilter.hpp). The links of these two files are as follows:-
https://github.com/duckduckgo/bloom_cpp/blob/54e581a490236ebc3498e50db37e050cbc61923c/src/BloomFilter.cpp
https://github.com/duckduckgo/bloom_cpp/blob/54e581a490236ebc3498e50db37e050cbc61923c/src/BloomFilter.hpp

I added these two files and the directory, and the application was built in my emulator.

@cmonfortep (forgot to mention you in the previous comment so doing it here.)

[cmonfortep]

Thanks, @jayesh-srivastava, bloom_cpp seems to be unrelated to the Widget issue.

When using your emulator, do you also have the same problem as @Lalisfeed? if so, have you been able to find the root cause of that issue?

[jayesh-srivastava]

Hey, @cmonfortep I used the application on my emulator and it's working fine. I used the widget feature and it's working totally fine. The widget was added in the search bar.
For reference I'm adding the screenshot of my emulator:-

[jayesh-srivastava]

@Lalisfeed yes, inside the application.

[jayesh-srivastava]

@Lalisfeed Adding the screenshot here for your reference:-

No it did not ask for any special permissions. No haven't tried it on my phone, will do.

[jayesh-srivastava]

@Lalisfeed I tested it on the phone itself with app version (5.87.0) and it's working. I used the code cloned from the github repo to test the app on my mobile phone. Maybe you'll have to add the DuckDuckGo widget on your home screen.

[cmonfortep]

If we can't reproduce it, let's close it. Thanks.

[jayesh-srivastava]

Yes @cmonfortep there wasn't an issue as such. Because it worked on my system and phone.
