I have 4 different types of widgets in my app. For each of the widget type, I have a Class derived from AppWidgetProvider and a service which handles the periodic update to the widget.

Now I have to create different sizes widget for each type. If I keep 3 sizes for each widget, do I have to create 12 classes / services ? Is there a better way ?

Any help / link to sample is welcome thanks in advance
