@ohos.app.form.formProvider (formProvider)

The FormProvider module provides APIs related to the widget provider. You can use the APIs to update a widget, set the next refresh time for a widget, obtain widget information, and request a widget release.

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.
