Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget 0.68

Just updated to new version in play store. Now when click on message it takes me to it and I am done and wake phone the notification has disappeared from notification on widget locker.

Great job on this ??? and thanks for such a great app
[Android Apps and Games] mifasol:
I.m using this app with widget locker and I love it !

However two things:

- the screen sometimes doesn't go on when notification is received. It seems to be random and not related to a certain app or notification

- the app reacts on all kind of notidications (the usual stuff like gmail/aquamail/k9/maildroid, twitter, facebook also downloads, medication-reminders, dropbox etc) but NOT on notifications of KIK Messenger

Can you help with these issues ?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget 0.68

The screen won't turn on when the device is covered. I suggest using the new feature "delayed screen on" this will make the screen on every time you put the device out of the pocket if there is a new notification.

I'll check this KIK messenger app, but I think it uses "ongoing notifications". The app ignores these kind of notifications on purpose.
[Android Apps and Games] mifasol:
Sorry that I wasn't complete with my posting, the screen isn't covered and the feature you stated was already used.

I've changed a feature in Widget locker itself and it seems to work now.

Thanks for checking the KIK app, very much appreciated, although I don't know what 'ongoing notifications' are. To me it works the same as whatsapp or gmail.. for every message you receive a notification. But I will check google to find out what these are :)
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
a small request from you...

Hi everyone,

I want thank all you for giving me so useful ideas and feedback for development this widget, I enjoy myself this widget every day thanks to your ideas.

The app currently has 15,000 downloads on Google Play and keeps growing.

Unfortunately many users don't read all installation instructions and known issues and posts negative (1-star) feedback without giving me any way to contact and help them.

So far, I got over 400 thanks on xda, if only half of those thanks will be translated to 4/5 stars reviews it will help me a lot so I can continue developing and improving this widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Px80:
One thing you could do better is to describe how to add it on the lockscreen. :D thats definetly no reason for voting less than 5 stars! but it took me a while and the help of new ion? to figure out how to use it.

Now it rocks!
[Android Apps and Games] stark0:
Two times (last week and today) I installed this widget my Nexus 4 stop working (screen doesn't turn on) and never boot again (I tried wiping cache and dalvik). Nandroid was the only way to recover my phone.

I can't attach log because I don't how do this.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Can try other apps that uses accessibility services? The most similar one is autoscreenon that also monitor notifications and use proximity sensor.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omd.autoscreenon
[Android Apps and Games] scae:
I've found Facebook messages come through with transparent backgrounds (other apps have a black background for the icon/picture and grey for the text background). I have no specific settings for Facebook Messenger.

Not sure how to take screenshots from the lockscreen....

Edit: found out how to take a picutre... will add one as soon as I receive a new msg.
[Android Apps and Games] Stryder5:
So it's been a while since I've used this. Just installed a clean copy from the play store and my notifications aren't showing up in the widget. Widget enabled in Accessibility. Even enabled foreground monitoring. I didn't have problems with this in the pre-play store releases. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
[Android Apps and Games] stark0:
This application doesn't need accessibility activation I think, I installed it however. For now is working without troubles.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Oh sorry. I confused with other app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lukekorth.screennotifications

This one will turn screen on when notification arrives and use proximity sensor to make sure the device is not covered. If it works fine - there is nothing wrong with your device and it just my app's fault. Please let me know. It's important for me to know.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Can you try disabling other accessibility services if there are?
[Android Apps and Games] Stryder5:
Okay, I narrowed down the problem. I do have other accessibility services enabled. The specific problem relates to the app "Notifier Pro." I can leave Notifier Pro's accessibility options on, but disable the feature from its own options, and Notification Widget will work. I enable Notifier Pro from its own options and Notification Widgets will no longer work.

Seems to be app compatibility problem here. Is this something I should add to the bug tracker?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Both NotifierPro and NotificationsWidget uses the same accessibility service and therefore may collide. I succeed to make them both work when I first activated NotificationsWidget and then NotifierPro.

There is no need to open an issue since it's an android limitation that cannot be fixed by me.
[Android Apps and Games] Stryder5:
Darn, that didn't work for me. Thanks for the help and suggestion though. Left the app a 5-star rating in the play store anyways :good:
[Android Apps and Games] stark0:
I'm trying the app, for now all is ok. Tomorrow I'll tell you what happened.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Thanks, I've installed NotifierPro AFTER I installed NotificationsWidget, maybe that can help...
[Android Apps and Games] scae:
Attached is an image of my FB Message issue. Sorry about the black lines/squares, you can ignore those - I felt weird about adding people's priviate messages, even if they are innocuous.

You can see the screenshot notification looks ok, but the Facebook Message is transparent. If someone doesn' t have a FB profile picture loaded then the icon background also appears transparent.
[Android Apps and Games] jehelmer:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Sorry if this was already asked.... would it be possible to just display an "X" next to each notification without entering edit mode?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
https://code.google.com/p/notifications-widget/issues/detail?id=69
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
That's a known issue for non standard notifications.

I'm planning to remove "Large (original)" notification style and add "Large" style that will be the same for all notifications (like the "Normal" size but with a title and 3 lines of text)
[Android Apps and Games] davtse:
:eek: please dont do that!!! i love how Large(original) works and looks!:crying:
[Android Apps and Games] stark0:
No issues for now with screennotifications. I can try you app, but, how I can get the log with adb? I know how to use adb but I don't know where the log is placed.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Simply call adb logcat from command line and direct the output to a file:

adb logcat > adb.log
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Using the original notification is very limiting. I prefer to design my own style that will look very similar to the original one but will be full controlled by the app.

Don't worry. You'll get the chance to see here on forums before submitting to Google Play. I'll do my best to make it look great as the original.
[Android Apps and Games] davtse:
many thanks! i really wish you would make a donate version so that some of us can at least thank you for all your hard work!

probs with latest version (dont know which) downloaded from play store

love the idea of this widget, but when I get a new call...a missed call...it REBOOTS...I am using Liquidsmooth 4.2.2 rom...any idea what is wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] cam57:
never mind re: rebooting on liquidsmooth 4.2.2

Never mind on this issue...I uninstalled and re-installed...seems to work now...I had another service using accessibility (called Email Notifications which allows specific sounds for specific emails...a nice feature...may want to include...) but anyway...removed that, uninstalled widget app...re-installed and it seems to work fine now...not sure the issue...

Love the app! Thank you very much

dev update - new action bar

Hi,

The latest version from dev link has been updated:

1. EditMode has been removed. (no more pencil button)

2. App icon on notification now opens an action bar below the notification that will allow performing some actions (settings, pin notification, clear)

- pin notification doesn't work yet.

- some features are broken in this version: only normal notification style works. no time text near notification, transparency doesn't work, etc...

I would be happy if you'll take a look and tell me what do you think. (ignore the broken features)
[Android Apps and Games] John McLane:
AW: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

The latest version of dev link shows me this :

Not Found

The requested URL /svn/trunk/NotificationsWidget/bin/NotificationsWidget.apk was not found on this server.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
sorry - fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] davtse:
Hmm... the text is a little too small for me in this version, but i think it's just a matter of getting used to it, you really spoilt me with the large notification style. much prefer how this version works compared to previous Editmode.

A suggestion perhaps? maybe different colours for the sender, title and body? currently it's a little hard to tell which is which(since everything is white), but i'm being really nitpicky here.
[Android Apps and Games] John McLane:
AW: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

For me the text is not to small.

I would prefer to see that the text is like iOS
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
The text size on normal notification style hasn't been changed. I wanted to know what do you think of the new action bar.
[Android Apps and Games] davtse:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

I think its a great concept and an improvement over the previous one. Definitely improves usability for me. In the mean time I'm back on 0.8 dev version
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
dev update

The latest dev version (0.9dev3) is more stable:

1. compact and large notifications works.

2. transparency and colors works.

3. kik notifications works. (use "expanded text" option to see the whole text)

As a side effect - Facebook messenger notification now has normal background, but the actionbar doesn't work with it when using "Large" style.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Dev update - v0.9dev4

Last update for today - pin option is now available on notification action bar.

You can pin any notification and it will stick on top and won't clear until you unpin and clear it, even when using "clear all" button.
[Android Apps and Games] John McLane:
AW: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

So the pin option is really helpful. The only problem was that the option did not always work, especially when many of notification on the screen were.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Fixed this morning. Download the latest and try again.
[Android Apps and Games] John McLane:
AW: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

One thing is very strange since 49.apk version. Now there is one speciall app which does show the ad from the extended text. In addition, now every new notification is displayed separately of this app. I always thought it's the app itself, especially since there was no update to the app. Why does this work now ?

But I am really glad that it works now.

The best dev version!!!

Thanks roymam
[Android Apps and Games] John McLane:
AW: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

I do not know what you've changed, but strangely now any app shows the expanded text in the normal notification style. Great Job.

Can you also represent the weather near the clock to the right side ?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

I improved "expanded text" feature so it will be able to take text from the notifications even when there is "expanded view" (the one that appears when you so pulling notification down on android builtin notifications view)

This was required to enable support for kik messenger notifications and probably improved other notifications as well.

Can someone test Samsung native email notifications? There is a small chance that it might work now.
[Android Apps and Games] John McLane:
AW: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

That's the reason this app has no expanded view! There is no way in the Notification Center to display the text larger. I am talking about the app "mydealz"
[Android Apps and Games] BomB@s:
Any way so sync with the actual notification so when I view the app NOT VIA THE LOCKSCREEN it also clears?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

I can check if I can register to the event of opening an app. But that's very intrusive, if it's possible, I'll add this as an extension that will be installed separately to prevent the requirement of new permission for the widget.

Can you please open an issue for this on the application project page?
[Android Apps and Games] BomB@s:
Sure, will do. Also, 2 more questions:

1. Why can't I open settings for a Facebook notification?

2. Is it possible to make it a full screen widget? Because the pattern in the lock screen takes more than half of the screen so I can only see the first notification..

Keep up the awesome support!
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

1. Facebook notification is built different than other notifications and I can't register to it's icon on the original notification. If you use normal style notification it works fine. I'm still looking for a solution for this.

2. No. Android limit the widget to this size until you swipe it down and extend it manually. You can use WidgetLocker for full screen size widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] BomB@s:
1. What will be the difference between normal and large in Facebook and every other app?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Normal size is built by NotificationsWidget app and it has full control of it. The large is the notification view that was built from the original app (Facebook) and only if it built with the standard android 4.0 API I can hook into it and add event to the icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:

Do I have to uninstall my current widget? If not, will it save the settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Yes. And unfortunately it won't save your settings. If you changed a lot of the settings and defined a lot of specific apps, you'll want to wait to the Google Play update. (within few days...)
[Android Apps and Games] BomB@s:
My current widget is not from Google Play, it's the unstable dev release.. Should I just wait for the stable release to come out in Google Play?

Bad news

My Galaxy Nexus dropped into the water, currently, I can't continue developing NotificationsWidget.

The last development version (0.9dev5) will be released to Google Play soon.

I'll keep you up to date for further developments.

after more than 24 hours in a rice, and few more hours under an hot lamp. it's alive and working well.

Hi!

Thanks

Neאus 4
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

When you tap on notification it will open the app.

Whatsapp doesn't provide "Reply" button on the notification itself, you most first tap the notification, then after whatsapp launches you can reply there.
[Android Apps and Games] scae:
This is great and works well.

However I have found the buttons in expanded text don't work for the GTasks app. This app shows reminders for tasks you have set and then has the buttons: 'mark done' and 'snooze'. The buttons work (mark buttons marks the task done) but they don't appear to do anything (you press the button and the action occurs in the background, but the notification doesn't change).. The expected behaviour would be that the notification is dismissed, but it stays.

It may be that GTask notifications are a bit strange. It you have several reminders then it still only shows one notification - but you can click a button to switch from one to the next.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
I have no control of the action of these buttons, so I cannot dismiss the notification after user tap them.

The optimal settings for Gtask is to see only the last notification - so you will always get one notification and if you click next the current notification will be replaced with the new one.

Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Ups! :P sorry...

Thanks again and congratulations for your gnex reborn's

[Android Apps and Games] scae:
I'll try that, thanks v much.

While I'm here. When using large style notifications (which I find great by the way) when the pattern lock is up it obscures all but the first notification. So if you have multiple notifications it hides most of them. It is possible to have a summary of notifications, or auto switch to 'compact' when the pattern lock is up and then switch to large when it is dragged down?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Auto switch to compact is a great idea. it looks clean. please open an issue on google code paage.
[Android Apps and Games] scae:
Done, thanks.

Also, I have noticed that when receiving calendar reminders (using the default calendar app) the notification just shows 'Loading...' with a transparent background. I haven't left it long to see if it actually loads - but I haven't see this happen with any other notification.
