[Android] Resizable Android Widget

As of 1/8/2018 the spotify widget is currently on a 1x4 size. Many newer phones have the ability to hold more icon columns (more than 4) therefore the spotify player looks poorly made and ill fitting. 

 

I know that google play, and samsung play provide the ability to resize the widget to match the width/# of icon columns you have on your screen.

 

Can it be possible to allow the widget to be resizeable like other music playing competitor apps? 

 

It feels weird that spotify doesn't take this idea into account. It has been submitted many times on the forum:

I assume it isn't that much work to do compared to some of the other ideas I have seen you guys implement. Please look into this, as there are definitely people complaining about this everywhere. 

 

Thanks,

Dear God please do this. Doesn't seem like it's that difficult of a thing to implement in your Android widget, almost every other widget has an option to do this. I have a 5 slot wide screen, a 4x1 widget is the worst.

Still relevant. Please make it resizable. Current pixel is 5 squares. Unlike the 4 by 1.

I went through the process of looking up this whole ideas page and creating a profile specifically to get this issue addressed.

Bump! 

 

Spotify devs: this is a very simple fix and it wouldn't have any negative impact. Please fix! 🙂

The Spotify widget is beginning to look tired compared to the other music widgets. Time to streamline and upgrade this simple feature.

Please fix this! The widget looks horrible on a Samsung galaxy 10 plus 😞

Can't believe it still the same after that time. I guess there is no more developer in here... only a bunch of lawyer **bleep**
