Retrieve Text from Textbox in Android widget?

Question

My App widget has a TextView that it\'s text changes in interaction with user.Now how I can Retrieve Text from it in run time?

Answer 1

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.
