@ohos.app.form.formHost (formHost)
The formHost module provides APIs related to the widget host, which is an application that displays the widget content and controls the position where the widget is displayed. You can use the APIs to delete, release, and update widgets installed by the same user, and obtain widget information and status.
NOTE
The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. The APIs provided by this module are system APIs.
Modules to Import
