This widget displays the information of a clientraw.txt file generated by the software Weather Display.

Configurable:
-Temperature units (Celsius or Fahrenheit)
-Wind speed units (kts, m/s, km/h, mph)
-Barometer(hPa, in/hg)
-Rain (mm, in)
-Feels like: Apparent, humidex, windchill, heat index.

-Text size
-Display of an icon for the forecast/current conditions
-Icon transparency
-Auto-update when the device is unlocked
-Periodic update
-URL of the file to download
The URL must me a full internet address like http://www.server.com/clientraw.txt
You can activate a periodic update. It will download only when the screen is ON.

Version 2.3
-Removed the decimal when the temperature is displayed in
I have added a configuration for the barometer units (hPa / inHg) and will add the rain.
I am testing a color picker for the background; it works well.
I will also add a transparency value (I like to see the background image on my phone).
Now, I am trying to control the background color of the widget…not an easy task it seems :?
I am new to the Android development and learning as I go with this project…
Thanks for a great app!!
The wind seems to be calculated wrong, i have chosen m/s, but the values are almost twice as much as i should, any idea?
Also, i would love having a 4x1 widget with “Current Condition” icon added…
When i get ex “-11,0” degrees, the “feels like” and “humidity” is pushed outside of the widget, there is not enauge space for the units.
Is it possible to make it 4x1 instead of 3x1, so it fits?
What version of Android are you running? I am running 3.2.1 Honeycomb and I cannot find any way
to edit the widget once it is on the screen. Pressing and holding only pops up the “Uninstall” icon, it
does not offer and “Edit” function.
I have tried to use the widget but when I click the screen it stated updating then timeout. I have looked on my website and the clientraw.txt is being uploaded. Any ideas anyone?
Ta.
Timeout sounds like the widget is not able to connect to your server to get the clientraw.txt.
Is the clientraw.txt file in the root directory? If not, maybe the widget cant’ find it?
I did check the root and it is in the root, or what I assume is the root. When I ftp to the site I have to go into a folder called public_html and it is in there with all the other files.
