Damn all this complaining about weather......

Vin you owe me £749 as I have now had to get my windows and doors replaced so I can go get off my fat arse and look outside to see what the weather is doing Lol.

P.s I have now lost 1.5 stone in weight due to this new kind of weather watch exercise :p

People really !!!!! Come on its not needed that much and vin will fix it for sure in time. Just be grateful this great app is free.

I completely agree. All that complaining about the accuracy of the weather..... Here in Belgium the weather info could also be more accurate. But this app has so much more to over than just the weather...
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
Weather international

Ahem.... I've got a weather question. :D But a question, not complain.

I never thought of this, but how does weather icons work internationally? Case in point - I created a skin with "Current condition", "Icon - Current condition" in it. Names of all the weather icon PNGs are in English. So, the skin works fine in USA. (all devices using English as default language, I'd guess). But what happens if the device's default language is German, Spanish or any other non-English language? UCCW will get 'weather condition' in that language and obviously there's no matching PNG in weather folder. So, the weather icon won't be displayed?? How do we make the skin work in any language?

And this one. Apparently the shortcut hotspots are freaking out if there are 5,6+ of them across multiple skins. Needs some more bolt-tightening I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
Au contraire. If an app includes weather, then it should be accurate. One of the main features of UCCW is the weather, and I like to know at a glance when I get up in the morning what the current temperature in and today's min/max will be. Yeah, I can click an app to see that, but that's the case with pretty much any widget. Yes, UCCW is an amazing app with lots of features, but if I see an issue with a feature that's important to me (and probably to many other users), I will not be made to feel guilty by pointing it out. To use your logic, if the time on the clock feature was inaccurate, would you dismiss it and tell users to just look at their watch?
[Android Apps and Games] aaroncal:
Do remember this a development website. If the features do not meet you requirements then you should fix it so it does.... You are not entitled to anything here it is simply a free service.. I did give you a couple thanks because it should work and with enough research you... Yourself can make it happen if it is that important to you
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
Nobody is trying to make you feel guilty for pointing issues out but when you start talking about bidding uccw adios and going to beautiful widgets then all I can say is bye bye and don't let the door slam you in your arse on the way out lol.

Yes features should work but its not like it has never worked, its just a kink and patience will see it resolved I'm sure. You can always revert back to a working version until then or as you desire leave the app.

Slym.

The answer lays around here. On page 143 I posted a *.ctxt-file with 224 weather conditions (meanwhile I figured out 2 more) and on page 145, 3 posts underneath your post, you can see a spreadsheet made by NisseDILLIGAF. Both you can use as a template for all conditions that will appear in yahoo's strange weather-laboratories....

I see some update... Is there anything that has changed regarding the weather icons ? new ones ? some removed ?

Could you please let me know :)

[Android Apps and Games] diehardfan:
anyone?

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
The issue is not with a working version. I tried reverting back but have the same issue. It's apparently with either the weather services themselves or with the calls to them. The data are incorrect, and the weather update function doesn't seem to resolve it. And, for what it's worth, I was not trying to be belligerent, though I did get ruffled a bit regarding the tone of the critics when I was simply trying to point out a key feature in the app that's not working that may be of interest to others. I was trying to express that, while other dismiss the weather function, it's important enough to me that it hinders the use of the app for me. This is likely the case for many other users as well. What feature is most important to you? What would you do if you found it to not be working? Ignore it? Just go away without pointing it out? I was just honestly trying to make it known, I'm not a developer and am thus not equipped to fix it myself. If this site is only for developers to fix things, then please advise, and I'll bow out.

If you would had read the entire post, you would have know that the weather issue is mentioned many times before and that the devolper is working on it.
[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
I actually did what I thought was a pretty thorough forum search before posting my original message. Short of scrolling through all 1500+ posts, that's the best I could do. All that needed to be done was for someone to just point out, as you have just done, that the problem had already been documented and is being addressed. The recriminations could have been avoided. Also, the criticisms weren't because the issue was already made aware of, it was that I would dare to point out a flaw in such a minor issue as weather accuracy.
[Android Apps and Games] aaroncal:
Well the name of the Web site is xda "developers". I'm not trying to be mean but it has got to the point where the entire Web site is full of non developers complaining about anything and everything. I suggest to them to go back to the stock firmware. It is going to get to the point one day where developer just won't share their work anymore
[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
OK, I'll sign off then. Might want to change the link on the Google store for UCCW that directs to here. I've been on similar sites where, when issues were pointed out, others were helpful in resolving them or pointing out that they were being addressed. Obviously not the culture here. I won't bother any longer.
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
Don't go. I personally wasn't attacking you solely and apologise if that's how it came across. You are right and if it was a single unknown issue then reactions would have been more friendly by all I am sure. Its just that threads tend to get overrun and clogged with the same Q and As all the time. Vin will be fully aware of any issues and I'm sure is working on fixing them asap.

Sorry, I didn't understand that at all. [Feeling like a newb :silly: ]

The .ctxt file has blocks like this -

{

"ID": 1,

"name": "tropical storm",

"value": "tropischer Sturm",

"value1": "",

"value2": "",

"value3": ""

},

So, if I go to "Current condition" > Controls #5 > "Custom text file" and select this .ctxt file, the skin will show tropical storm as tropischer Sturm. Right?

Or is it the other way around? i.e. if the weather condition is "tropischer Sturm", uccw will look for a png named "tropical storm" in the weather folder and display that.

The second one is what I'm hoping for.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

Today's my total newb day I guess. I didn't understand your instructions. Where is this uccw menu supposed to appear? In uccw app? But uccw doesn't have a language code option. Or you meant some menu will appear in the excel sheet? nothing appeared though. What am I missing?
[Android Apps and Games] bamps:
Don't know why you should leave this forum. I'm also not a devolper. and I'm also been on lots of forums like this one. But I can assure you that there is no forum around that has as much devolpers as XDA devolpers. If you want to learn, or if you just want to be up to date on new roms or new apps. This is the place to be.

Maby you feel a little bit attackt with critics, but I'm sure that nobody mean to offend you. It's just that we are following this treath from day 1, and we are seeing day after day how UCCW has getting beter and beter. But we also see that lots of time someone comes here to say how bad the weather info is... Which is maby true for some people, but it is already much better than in the beginning, and it will be beter in the future. I'm sure of that.

Anyway, if I offend you in some kind of way. I'm sorry, it was not my ettention.
[Android Apps and Games] NisseDILLIGAF:
The UCCW menu should appear in the spreadsheet menu.. See attachment..
[Android Apps and Games] seco10:
Right. I thought you asked for the many appearing conditions and the translations of them.

In uccw are by default 40+ conditions. Then if appears a new condition it will be shown in uccw as well, but it cannot be translated, because its not on the default-list.

For this reason its good to have a nearly complete list, so that nearly all conditions can be translated. I gathered this list by searching the whole web and with the help of any "weather watchers" and made a translation into German. NisseDILLIgaf created the possibility to translate into a bunch of other languages.

And now its a basic for all developers to complete it to perfection... allright?

[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
I think that's still not what I'm asking. Maybe I didn't explain properly. Ok, let me ask from scratch.

I made a skin with "Icon - current condition" and "Current condition". All PNG names are in English. No .ctxt file. Now, someone in Germany downloads my skin. His device's default language is German. Questions -

Current condition will be displayed in English or in German on his device, when he applies the uccw skin to a widget?

Will "Icon - current condition" display the weather icon?
[Android Apps and Games] seco10:
Now I understand...

1. If so, current condition will be displayed in English. If a german user want to have this in German he has to use a custom text file like the one I posted before.

2. The "Icon-current condition" displays the weather correctly. For this reason the weather-pngs has to be named in English even for german users...
[Android Apps and Games] girf:
little help please

I'm hoping someone can help me here. Been playing for about a week and I have my theme pretty much done but I can't seem to figure a way to assign a hot spot to toggle between pages. Currently I have to create hidden apex actions and then lay them over my UCCW widget.

This works but one errant swipe (when I have the screen lock off) and the invisible action is either making a mess of the whole page or moved or lost. Selecting a shortcut when assigning the hotspot will let me pick an apex action but individual page toggles are not one of the actions available for some reason.

Any ideas or creative work arounds would be appreciated.

For clarifications sake, in the bottom bar the icons are assigned to individual homescreens. Tapping it actually taps an invisible apex action to go to the screen. How do I do the same using a hot spot.?

Request - Battery Objects

Hi,

would it be possible to:

a) add "Battery level color" controls to the "Battery Level" & "Battery status" object - similar to the one found in the "Battery Bar" Controls #3

b-1) add a new object "Battery Shape". Has all the Controls a normal Shape has. In addition it also has "Battery level color" controls.

OR

b-2) add "Battery level color" controls to "Shape #" objects - similar to the one found in the "Battery Bar" Controls #3

I also have a question about the Weather Icon names.

The filenames listed in the help only reflect the weather conditions provided by yahoo. OpenWeatherMap has a few different conditions listed. Does UCCW use some internal remapping to only match the filenames listed or should the filenames for weather icons also reflect conditions from OpenWeatherMap?

1) Menu - Tools - Scripteditor

2) Insert into line 82 (befor bracket "}") a new line with:

Utilities.sleep(1000);

Line break / CRLF

I've managed to get a widget going which integrates with PHP scripts running from my own web server. Because UCCW doesn't support bounded text [wrapping it within a box], I've resorted to breaking the lines on the server side and then sending it to my device.

The problem that I have is that line breaks are being recognised by Tasker but not by UCCW. I know because If I output the resultant variable to a Tasker popup it is formatted as expected but when this variable makes it through to the widget, it is back on a single line again.

I've tried using '\n', '

' but no luck. There is obviously something I'm missing but what is it? My only other alternative is to separate the lines into separate variables which is possible but not ideal.

I don't mind having the ads in my uccw etc but I hate the notification asking me to donate and stating ads will be removed if I do donate........ Now I don't know if you remember but I donated very generously a long time back. My point is I don't want this notification and find it very abrupt and forceful ( I hate all apps with this feature ) so do older donators like myself get some kind of add on file to install for the donate version?

I was searching for an option to link a hotspot to a folder (containing shortcuts to multiple applications). I searched all the threads for UCCW and could not find anything conclusive, except in one place (old post) where they said its not possible.

Well, I successfully found a solution yesterday, don't know if this has been discovered/discussed already. My solution is to use the application called SiMi folder, which lets you create folders with application shortcuts. And the same can be accessed by the UCCW hotspot thru the shortcuts option. SiMi folder are highly customizable, and hence you can get beautiful folders with applications (or anything else supported by SiMi) liked to your desktop widget as hotspot. SiMi folder can be installed from the market.

Maybe you are having the same problem I am. I was having the problem of the weather not updating. I tried deleting the data but that didn't help so I uninstalled, rebooted and re installed. Didn't help. Every time I go into UCCW its like running it for the first time. It opens with the what's new in this version screen every time. I go into settings and change it to yahoo weather, auto locate and update every 1 hour. Exit out and the changes take affect. Look at it a few minutes later and its like it was reset. Says I'm on new York and the temperature goes to Celsius. Open UCCW and the what's new in this version screen shows again.
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
No. To be honest I've almost never had any real issues with uccw and I've been here from the start. I always get the notification because I am a flashoholic and I'm always testing new ROMs or restoring my nandroids. Any issues I've ever had with the weather were always corrected by me just making sure that my news and weather app (Genie) was syncable and working correct and that seemed to cure all my uccw weather updating etc.

Are you running any app killers or script mods that have a low memory killer feature? Any of these can kill an app process and restore it to a fake initial start process which could cause the reset effect you are experiencing.

Hi everyone..

I have a basic UCCW question regarding the 'Next Calendar Event'. I have both my Google calendar account synching and my Facebook birthdays. So, if say tomorrow, I have a "real" appt on my Google calendar like '10am - Pick up Joe' and also one of my FB friend's birthday is tomorrow, the UCCW next event will always only show the FB friend's birthday from 7am-7pm and never any "real" events from my Google calendar.

I know the UCCW widget only displays 1 calendar event at a time as they happen, but for the entire day (7am-7pm), it will never ever show any "real" Google calendar events. To me, these are way more important than any FB birthday! BUT, I guess I want my cake and eat it too, because I want to see both kinds of events shown, birthday and/or "real" calendar events.

Playing around with my N4, the only way it seems to work to show the "real" calendar events is to turn OFF synching my FB birthday's. I added two "real" calendar events in 1 day and the UCCW widget did show the 1st one and then showed the 2nd, when the first one's end time expired.

Is this just not a possible thing to have both types of calendar events on and show both???

Thanks!!
