Also, cat. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Sokudoningyou:
Will there be an option to remove the text above the hearts? (Or is there an option already available?) I only ask because I like the look of it as an addition to an MT widget I have that has the battery remaining in text form, and it looks slightly silly with two numbers instead of one.
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
You can turn the text off tapping the widget and then pressing the menu button to open a preference menu.

I'm not used to battery widget, but I love that!

I'll try asap, thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Thanks for replying. I will try to reproduce and see if it is on my end.
[Android Apps and Games] Sokudoningyou:
If I tap it, I get a series of buttons for Battery, Display, GPS, Wifi, and Bluetooth. Pressing menu doesn't do anything in this screen. Or am I doing it wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Do you have version 2.2? It's the one currently posted in the first post. The first version didn't have this option.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
I upgraded with the apk on the first post but it still does not show the menu. I tried to remove the widget from the launcher page and put it there again to no avail. Would it help to uninstall the widget and install it new?

Edit: yes that did it
[Android Apps and Games] Sokudoningyou:
That was it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lovehoshi:
It would be nice to have a option to disable tap...So that it would just be the widget and nothing else but the widget...Oh...And thanks for the great app.!

great widget! would it be possible to change the charging animation so it stays fuller and only the remaining hearts blink? ie charging at 50% charge 1.5 hearts stay solid and the remaining hearts animate as they do now?
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Thank you. :D

Thank you!!! Glad you are happy.

I am trying to make great work. So thanks!

Animating a widget is very, very limited. They don't work the same way as animations do inside apps. So unless they change how widgets work, I don't think I could do that at the moment. But I am always open for suggestions. I added the option for white borders and white text after users asked for it. So I do listen and try to give what people want...within my current abilities. :D

Thank you so much!

You're welcome. It's the least I could do for a community that helped me and showed me the awesomeness of Android.
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:

This app is awesome dude. Just sent a bunch of my friends the market link, video game enthusiasts love this. Now if only there was a magic meter I could put directly under it...
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Thank you very much. :D

Thanks! I have a nice update I'm working on that will add a few more functions and completely redoing the widget to make it use less resources. Thanks for sharing with your friends! That's motivation to make it better and make more gamer stuff. :D
[Android Apps and Games] nenobr2:
Please, make an option to instead showing battery percentage, it shows it as Rupees, e.g. instead of 67%, it shows (Rupee Icon)67.

Also, I loved you app.

*sigh* I just found my app on a bunch of warez sites. Debating what to do... I should just not worry about it, right?
[Android Apps and Games] Bratag:
Never going to stop it so I personally just don't think about it with my apps. That being said it kind of ****s me when someone can afford a 300+ dollar phone but wont anti up the small price of software like this.
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
I know what you mean. The Oatmeal had a nice cartoon about it. Here's a link to it. I don't think I'll worry about it. I guess if it becomes a huge problem we could include a license in our apps. I don't want to, but I remember reading that one developer noticed a huge jump in his app sales once he did...obviously this kept people from downloading and copying the apk then getting a refund or finding it on the web. I know it wouldn't stop clever people, but it would stop 90% of people that pirate.

I guess another way to look at it is...if they can't pay a dollar for an app, they need the money more than I do. :rolleyes:

Thanks for you feedback, Bratag.
[Android Apps and Games] greymalken:
Sucks to see that happen, especially when *YOU* posted it here for free!?

Random question, would it be possible to change the number of hearts? Like if I have my screen set to five columns, it would display five hearts instead of three.
[Android Apps and Games] nenobr2:
So, if the app is getting pirated, its a sign that everybody loves it.Try to add a licence and make the app you post here in XDA to show a xda logo.

So, have any idea when the update is coming?
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
I'm hoping to redesign the widget so you can pick how many hearts or just resize the widget. I'm not there yet with my programming. And yes, it does suck that I am offering it here free and anyone can get it. It was a gesture of gratitude to all the XDA members that have done so much for the Android community over the years.

I should just compile a separate app for XDA and have it say, "If you didn't download this from XDA..." Or maybe say this isn't an original copy and can't be held responsible if your info gets jacked. If it says something other than access to the two WiFi controls, then something is up. I try to put the minimum permissions in my apps. And I need those in order to turn WiFi off/on and to detect whether it is on or not. And I've debated adding Bluetooth to it, but I'm still on the fence. As for the update, I'm way behind on my school work so this weekend is dedicated to that. Which update are you looking for? I've promised a few features to different people. I do know that the next update will include a volume control and solid red hearts...and, hopefully, reworked code for the widget. I've hit a snare I can't figure out, but once I get some time to really look at it, I'll figure it out. But trust me, I have several features I'm going to implement in the future that will make this app so much more than just a battery widget. Plus it is my first app, so, it's my "baby". :D
[Android Apps and Games] stjake:
Great widget, Zelda was the best among Super Mario bros 3 and Contra.
[Android Apps and Games] SektorZero:
Perfect! I love Retro!
[Android Apps and Games] schlehmil_me:
Great widget. Thank you very much. With version 1.21 settings menu is finally working on honeycomb. The only difference to my gingerbread phone is that the toggle screen is missing the background blurring effect on honeycomb. Another thing I noticed is that the heart bitmaps are scaled and a little bit blurred even with default 2x1 widget on 800x480 screen and on 1280x800 screen. Just noticed this on 1.21. Maybe this is also the case for earlier versions?
[Android Apps and Games] prasket:
Awesome!!! Thanks a ton!

[Android Apps and Games] hotshot646:
Seems to be a great little app but I do not think it works with ICS Virtuous Quattro RC3 on DHD.

Unless I missed this in the description and comments, you should probably mention it in the Market so people know whats what.

EDIT: Nevermind, I downloaded another Heart Battery app from the market and now This app works :S

This is as confusing as trying to figure out how people didnt like Zelda: A Link to the Past!! Which is the best Zelda game IMHO
[Android Apps and Games] lordvlad:
an awesome widget, thumbs up!

buuut i cant get the 2.2 with options. the apk in the first post is 2.1 for me and i tried to dl it twice via qr code, to no avail.
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Yea, I fixed the menu problem in this update, because someone said it didn't work with Honeycomb. The background effect will not work in Honeycomb. I will look into the hearts being blurred. Could you send me a screenshot? I want to see how bad they are blurred. Thanks!

I put 2.1 in the description on accident the other day. The current version is 1.21. Sorry for the confusion! :(
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Also, I wanna thank you guys for the awesome feedback. You all are helping me make something better! And I like that you guys aren't saying "Blahblahblah isn't working this sucks fail" even when something isn't working. You all give me time to correct it. And that's awesome! :D Even in the Market, my feedback is very positive. I am still waiting for that one negative feedback that just crushes my spirit. lol

Awesome widget, Gannon must fall!

This is awesome. Gives the phone a sense of adventure, and the desire to defeat bosses so I can increase my battery capacity, heh heh. I can just hear the "beeping" heartbeat when one has a half a heart or less. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] GamerGuy80:
it would be cool if it was 5 hearts with each quarter piece of heart representing 5% increments, and as mentioned when theres 10% left which would be one half a heart it should beep. otherwise i love this app when we can add more hearts i will buy from android market...keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
You are very welcome.

Maybe I didn't make it hard enough to find. ;)

You're welcome. Glad you like it. :)

I'm way ahead of you there. :) I made that an option on my first update due to a few others wanting that feature. See the first page on how to change it. And thank you. :D

lol Thanks for explaining that! :)

Thank you! And you are welcome. I'm glad other gamers like it.

Tell your friends they can buy it in the Market! :) And thank you.

Have you seen the guys from Smosh.com do the Zelda music video? Be warned it is NSFW! But here is a link: Smosh Zelda Video NSFW

At some point, I will add an option to make it more than 3 hearts. Like I've said before, this is a learning process for me as well. I don't have years of experience programming. I don't even have a year yet. I want to fix a few other problems before attempting that. And the beeping when it is low is coming. I will make it so you can turn it off and on. Not everyone will want that feature. So, most likely, it will be off by default. But it will be in my next update. But I don't have a ETA yet. I just found out I have to move, I'm behind in my school work, and I just got a new job. Talk about a lot to do. I'm overwhelmed. I hate moving. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. But don't worry, I will be working on this. However, good news, I hit 500 downloads today on the Market!

Thanks for all the positive feedback and constructive criticism!

[Android Apps and Games] eps0r:
totally love it :D

but i dont know if it works like intended for me, i installed it, tapped the widget, pressed "battery" and my battery screens comes up - when i tap again it will open battery automatically..i cant select from the buttons or change any settings :/

is it right that way, or should i get the menu always when i tap the widget?

[Android Apps and Games] eps0r:
ah, and i dont see a chargin animation at all, should there be something moving?
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Yes. Are you using version 1.21? Give me some more info about your phone and conditions. The very first version did not have animation.
[Android Apps and Games] eps0r:
i use the one from the first post.

i cant buy stuff in android market though, i dont got a credit card :/

what else you have to know?
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
I'm sure you've tried this, but did a reboot help? Or maybe deleting the widget and adding it back to your homescreen? I don't know why you wouldn't have animation. First time I've heard anyone saying they didn't. Let me know if that worked.
[Android Apps and Games] eps0r:
hm lol i just found the solution to one problem:

i always pressed the "home" button to get back to homescreen, then the first tapped button will reopen if i tap on the widget agian (e.g. i tapped battery->press home -> press widget->battery opens again) ; but when i use the "Back" button, i come back to homescreen too, and the widgets shows all options if tapped then

regarding the charge animation, neither reboot nor readd helped 8[
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Edit: Nevermind. :)
[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
Testers needed

I need some testing done on this newest version. And I'm only gonna leave this link up for a short time. Please let let me know if everything looks good on your phone and if every is working. I completely redesigned how the widget displays the hearts so they should look better on higher res phones. The widget should use less RAM now and no more lagging the homescreen. I need to know if the volume controls work for you as well. And if the new all red hearts look good. Here's a link, but please note this is for testing only and please don't share once I take the link down. I'll add it to the OP once I get it ready to go. Thanks! Be sure to let me know if something isn't working.

EDIT: removed link
[Android Apps and Games] Number R09:
on my DInc2, everything appears to be in order.

the widget is claiming 8.1MB-5.8MB of RAM.

transitions between screens is normal.

WiFi toggles my connection.

battery, display, GPS, and bluetooth take me to their respective option screens.

volume brings up five sliders, which work.

hearts animate in quarters while charging.

all texts displays correctly.

heart borders display properly.

your widget is over-riding my settings i have made using Llama (location profile switching, similar to Tasker or AutomateIt); at home while charging, i have my screen timeout set to 300s, brightness to 75%, and screen lock off. with your widget running, all of that is negated. i'm back to 60s time out, 20% brightness, and screen lock on (my normal settings). uninstall heart widget, reboot phone, and Llama functions again.

[Android Apps and Games] notasimpleway:
That's weird that it would cause all that to happen. I'm gonna look at Llama.
[Android Apps and Games] nenobr2:
The beta is perfect, but you should make an option on change the -LIFE- color.Also the no-border got a little ugly.
[Android Apps and Games] eps0r:
Beta works good for me now too

CHarging animation is there,

the habit of "keeping battery as standard view when closed via home button" remains, but is not further annoying, cause i know how to work around it :D

And thank you so much! I enjoy the challenge of programming and program solving so much! I told one of my programming professors last semester that we needed to do more debugging exercising from the textbook because it was fun. He laughed at me. I can't help it. I like being challenged. Thanks again for your support. I still have a few more things to add to this app to make it shine. I hope you are well.

Hey, thank you very much for your latest update! The heart bitmaps are now rendered crisp and clear. One feature I would like to see in a future version is the option to choose which app is launched when I touch the widget. Keep on the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] lovehoshi:
Your welcome. :p I'm also learning how to program right now although I'm an extreme beginner and I suck at it. :D I hope in the future you'll be able to make even more amazing apps! Odd thing though is that although I purchased the widget and it states that it is purchased, when I click it in the Android Market (Or should I say Google Play Market?) and try to install it, it says I can't download it because I haven't purchased it :confused: Maybe its a Google Play issue?

I'm using a r800a(Xperia play)2.3.4 rooted with locked bootloader.

I leave it charging when i go to sleep, and unplug it when I wake up.
