I have an appWidget which displays a text view, in which the text is set from another activity via RemoteViews. Now i need to use or get the text that is displayed in this widget. How can i do this? 

String text = context.getText(R.id.widgetVerse).toString();

Gives me "false" lol! although that was a try...

By the way i need to send this string to another intent via putExtra.

Try this.

String text = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.widgetVerse)).getText().toString() ;
