My app uses Firebase database and items are displayed correctly in a RecyclerView, but I want to display them also in a Widget. Since a widget is not an activity I run into all sort of problems using Firebase and ListView. Is there any way to populate a Widget from Firebase?

Taking more than 20 seconds in onDataSetChanged() to fetch data from internet/Firebase Database will not display data on widget listview. You will have to use CountDownLatch.
Also, here is an example https://github.com/mvescovo/item-reaper
