I made two activities, one for the widget and one for the settings activity.
There are two variables "strSavedMem1" & "strSavedMem1" initialised in the settings activity... and are made via sharedPreference method.
But when I try to use the variable in widget activity, the variable return a "null" value.
The widget Activity:
