As of now all widget from the shows in the list while editing widget.
Not sure how to achieve this, looking for help.
I have a widget made using widgetkit extension which have four tappable icons which opens specific screen in the app using deeplinks.
Link(destination: URL(string: deepLinkUrl)!) {
..... //tappable UI components
}
However, on tapping the area outside the icons, i.e the widget itself(the blank area), it opens the app by default. Is there any way to stop this default behaviour. Similar to Today widgets like whatsapp,snapchat
I'm trying to add buttons to a widget having family type ".systemLarge". I want to execute some code without opening the app.
Anyone knows how to do that?
For example the Shortcuts App Widget includes buttons you can tap to execute a shortcut without opening the app.
Widgets are read only. The Shortcuts app is an exception.

Widgets present read-only information and don’t support interactive elements such as scrolling elements or switches. WidgetKit omits interactive elements when rendering a widget’s content.
You can add Link controls on medium and large size widgets to get a button like behavior.
This won't allow you to create interactive widgets, which change their content by clicking elements inside the widgets.
But you will be able to tell which "link" was clicked based on the widgetUrl provided when your app gets activated through the widget.

I'm new to flutter, and after doing some searching, can't find a widget similar to the Drawer for the top of the page coming down, instead of the left or right side of the page coming out. Is there such a widget or a way to create one?
Not an easy task, but Flutter is open source. You can create your own version of Scaffold and Drawer with a vertical orientation. Just copy and modify the source code.
As of this date the Drawer widget doesn't support this, and there is no 'Vertical Drawer' widget in the Flutter widget catalog.
Thankfully, Akshath Jain created a nice SlidingUpPanel widget which does the trick nicely. For my use case I just needed it to slide from the bottom. I haven't tested it myself, but there is a slideDirection property which you can set to SlideDirection.DOWN and it should do what you're asking for.
I am trying to give my iBook a more app like feel. To do this I need the HTML5 widget I have created to automatically activate once a page is opened so the user doesn't need to click on it.
Is this something that is possible in iBooks and iBooks Author?
Thanks.
This isn't possible in iBooks and iBooks Author. You have to interact with the HTML widget before it activates, unfortunately. It's how iBooks is designed.
iBooks author 2.2 has an option in the widget inspector labeled "plays automatically." Its tool tip suggests that it will automatically launch the widget when the page is displayed. Doesn't work for MY widget, but maybe for yours!
