How To Add Google Android Widgets To The Home Screen - Long Method

Before you get started make sure you have space for a new widget on your homescreen, if you have many widgets already filling your screen you will need to remove one of those widgets before proceeding.

Start by clicking on the "home" key on your device so you can enter the home screen of your Android phone.

Next you'll need to click on the "Menu" button which will display the "Add" button on the screen. Here's a screenshot showing the "add" button.
