widget

This script gets a descedant (child) widget by name using recursion. A name should be defined for the child previously, if not as a name is considered the class name.

The name is passed as a variable by reference, when the target is found it is stored in this variable.
This will change the variable type from string to object, this very information is used as a condition to stop further recursion.

With the latest site release over on Joind.in, we've added something a bit more fun for users of the site - handy little widgets that let you embed information from the site into yours.

You can see an example of it if you look to the right (well, if you're looking at the site not the feed, of course).

Building on what we already know about Android development, we take a look at adding App Widget functionality for your phone's "desktop."
