A widget is a set of UI components used to display important information or operations for an application. It provides users with direct access to a desired application service, without requiring them to open the application.
A widget displays brief information about an application on the UI of another application (host application, currently system applications only) and provides basic interactive functions such as opening a UI page or sending a message.
