Question

I just begin programming with android home widget, so i could set text to a textview in home widget from my widget provider by settextviewtext() but when i want to get text from it, i have no ideal. Can not use findViewById() as normal as in activity and then getText(). Is there any way to get text of textview in home widget from widget provider? Or show me how to get from another activity?

CommonsWare in this question says:

You can’t. App widgets are write-only: you can push data to them, but
you cannot read them.

Instead, when you update your app widget with new text, you will need
to store that text somewhere, perhaps in a file.
