### Steps to reproduce
I upgraded my Pixel 6 to Android 16 and found that several widgets I use no longer display updates - and one of them is the nextcloud widget.
( I did already dig into it in sources of a different app - hence I only leave the identified root cause here... )
Google has deprecated setRemoteAdapter (int viewId, intent) in API level 35 (Android 15) and obviously also removed the compatibility in Android 16.
See https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RemoteViews#setRemoteAdapter(int,%20android.content.Intent)
This is still used in https://github.com/nextcloud/android/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/nextcloud/client/widget/DashboardWidgetUpdater.kt#L58
The proposed official solution is to use RemoteViews.RemoteCollectionItems (see original link).
A smokle check with other / older android devices reveals that everything still works fine there - I checked with versions 13 and 14.
### Expected behaviour
After adding a widget to the home screen it should display the corresponding data.
### Actual behaviour
After adding a widget to the home screen it does not shaw data - instead it displays the initial empty state with "No Items".
