Issues in widget preview layout adaptation in host application

Question

Im currently working on Andorid 12, with min sdk version as 31 in both host and widget provider application. From AppWidgetProviderInfo, I got the layout id of previewLayout but I'm trying to display the same in host customisation screen. While trying to do the same I got ResourcesNotFoundException in host implementation.

I added the preview layout in my AppWidgetProviderInfo.xml

<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:initialLayout="@layout/widget_initial_layout"
    android:previewLayout="@layout/widget_preview_layout"
    android:previewImage="@drawable/widget_preview_image"
    android:minWidth="130dp"
    android:minHeight="170dp"
    android:updatePeriodMillis="86400000"
    android:widgetCategory="home_screen" />

My host adaptation of preview layout is,

Drawable previewDrawable = widgetInfo.getAppWidgetInfo().loadPreviewImage(binding.getRoot().getContext(), ICON_DENSITY);
int previewLayout = widgetInfo.getAppWidgetInfo().previewLayout;
   try {
      if (previewLayout != 0) {

         View widgetPreview = LayoutInflater.from(binding.getRoot().getContext()).inflate(previewLayout, binding.getRoot(), false);
         binding.widgetContainer.addView(widgetPreview);
       } else if (previewDrawable != null) {

            Glide.with(binding.getRoot().getContext())
                        .load(previewDrawable)
                        .into(binding.previewImage);
       }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
       e.printStackTrace();
    }

With the above code, Im able to show the preview image from AppWidgetProviderInfo but while trying to inflate the previewLayout with layout id alone, I get ResourcesNotFoundException. In mycase the widgetprovider and Host are two different applications.
