Design a Custom Widget in iOS

Before you build a custom widget, you must decide what the custom widget will look like and what it will do. To determine this, you must answer questions such as the following:  

1. What kind of data will be displayed in the widget?  

2. Which specific report or document, or which kind of report or document, will furnish the data?  

3. What pieces of the data from that report or document will be used or displayed?  

4. How will the data be used or displayed?  

5. What kind of look and feel will the customization have? For example, what font will be used and what color and size will the font be?

The choices you make here will define the Objective-C code required to implement the widget in Xcode. Other choices will define whether it would be helpful to create a properties editor for your custom widget.

The widget you design might look like the one shown below.
