A plugin to provide a common interface for creating HomeScreen Widgets for Android and iOS.

Home Widget

HomeWidget is a plugin to make it easier to create HomeScreen Widgets on Android and iOS. HomeWidget does not allow writing Widgets with Flutter itself. It still requires writing the Widgets with native code. However, it provides a unified interface for sending data, retrieving data, and updating the Widgets.

Save Data

To save data, call:

Update Widget

To initiate a reload of the Home Screen Widget, you need to call:

HomeWidget.updateWidget(

);
