Hello to everybody!!!
finally...(ouffff)....
update of my Personal weather station widget is OUT now....
in version 1.1.8 there is option for English or metric system...(finally)!!!
and some improvement in landscape view...
If you tap on "weather" word you go in a preference screen that you can choose some options.

The update frequency always is at 30 minutes , but if someone wants more often can press the update button...

Any comments are welcome!!!!
Thank you very much...
(p.s. if you want send me more PWS links so i can include them in the list of the preference screen)

Yes to building a good app for android! I would pay if it was done right as I would much rather have a widget vs a webpage.

The one stated on this thread is Celsius only and extremely basic.

Tony,
It's a Widget. You have to add it to your desktop.

It IS an Android widget that you add to your Android home screen/desktop.

I installed the recent update with the English/metric option, pointed it to my website and am a happy camper now.

My friend it's a WIDGET and you have to add it on your desktop of your phone , normally as you add any other widget.
:D

Did you add the PWS widget to your home screen? It isn't visible in the app drawer.

Hi gpap

Thank you very much for a cool Android Widget - its working very fine.

Would it possible to add multi-language to the app? If so - I will be happy to help with Danish translation.

Best regards,

Henrik

Could it display total rain rather than rain rate?

Thank you.
Had new-user issues in finding it, downloading it and installing it.  Primarily I'm a bit of a luddite on Android; but it's down, installed and working...

I've written my own very simple Android widget that links up to the clientraw.txt file.

Info at https://market.android.com/details?id=uk.autumnit.android.weather.widget.Free
Or search the Android Market for "autumn it".

Go easy on me, I'm pretty new at this.
