Did you activate the accessibility service in the Android Accessibility settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Phantom Pt. II:
Quite some mixed reviews here. Anyone that can properly test if it works properly, some screenshots?

For example, is this the same as this release: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrubin ?
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
That it's not mine. It's similar but it doesn't notify in real time, e.g.: if you have your lock screen active and you receive a whatsapp you won't see the notification; you have to turn off screen and then turn on again.

AW: [APP][4.2+] Dashclock Whatsapp Notifications Extension!

Posted already on play (review) Would like to see a German translation. If you need some help just contact me with the English string.xml files ;)
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
I attached string.xml on the first post. It's yours, do what you like. When you're done post it in this forum and I will add to the project ;)

THANKS!
[Android Apps and Games] plisk3n:
It doesn't work on the latest (ie, not on play store) version of WhatsApp. you have to download it directly from the official website:

http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

I've enabled it in Accessibility section too. Thanks!

Actually it should show both the first name and the last name of the contact as it is saved in the contacts list.
[Android Apps and Games] sacredsoul:
Strangely, not working for me once I did a full wipe and reinstalled everything. Same version of this extention and whatsapp+ but screen refuses to turn on and there's not notification.

EDIT : Ok, that was my bad. Forgot to enable it under accessibility in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] silvbm:
Both first and last name are set correctly in the contacts list, but it will still show just the last name:confused:.
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
Did you installed last version of the extension? What language are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] silvbm:
Yes, latest version is installed. Language is german.

Been using you whatsapp dashclock notification for a while and just wanted to pop in and say it's working amazing.

Thank you for your time and effort for developing it.

Kudos :thumbup:!
[Android Apps and Games] jaxterz:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and downloaded the Whatsapp extension last night. Everything downloaded smoothly and I went to the accessibility section under settings to enable the extension. However, I am getting this problem on my S4 when I try to enable it. "Talk Back and the options below cannot both be enabled. Enable Talk Back?"

Basically, the S4 has a lot of different features that are telling me I need to turn off before I can use this. It listed the ones I have enabled which are "Air Gesture, Air View, Assistant Menu, Smart Screen, Interaction Control, and Multi Window."

I do not want to turn some of my S4 features off to get this extension to work. Is there a work around this?
[Android Apps and Games] Kleb123:
Is it possible to actually see the messages instead of [name]+ number of messages ?
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
Unfortunately not. The android notification provides only the sender and not the message.

I'm sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Aetherion90:
Hi, I just tried to install and use your Dashclock Extension for WhatsApp, but the notifications won't show.

I've turned on the Accessibility, but still no luck.

Any ideas? It will be great if it works.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] UltramanKing:
4.2+? Are you kidding? -_-
[Android Apps and Games] a704e:
Obviously 4.2+ as Dashclock itself is 4.2+ only.
[Android Apps and Games] scandalousk:
I'm not sure how compatible this is with the new Dashclock and android 4.3. But I'm not seeing this being real time. For example, if my screen is off and I receive a message Dashclock will show the notification just fine. But once I've read the message or responded to it, Dashclock still shows the notification. The only way for me to get rid of it is to turn my screen off and back on.

Another thing is that it doesn't display any notification in Dashclock while the screen is on. Meaning it's not refreshing in real time. I'd have to turn the screen off and on and it will appear on Dashclock.

Naturally it's kinda pointless if it isn't real time. But like I said, maybe it just needs to be updated to be compatible with the new Dashclock or android 4.3. I hope the development is still willing to keep this up to date.
[Android Apps and Games] axereaction:
works fine :good::good:

Xperia Ray, LegacyXperia 4.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] gurpal2000:
not working quite on 4.2.2

This extension works intermittently too on my S3 using Omega 46.1 Rom (JB 4.2.2).

I have a dashclock on the lock screen and also a maximised one on the home screen. So the info must be in sync between the two right?

Observations

1. Intermittent notifications in general. It works probably half the time.

2. When it does work, there is an issue: What I notice is that on the Lock Screen DashClock it provides a count correctly. Great. Once you unlock and go to the home screen, I notice a flash and the whatsapp section disappears completely. The notification has NOT been cleared by other means. It just vanishes from the maximised home screen widget.

Don't know where the problem is: WhatsApp, Dash or this extension.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] a704e:
for 2., that's appropriate behaviour; the DashClock notification is only supposed to display in the lockscreen, and is cleared on unlocking.
[Android Apps and Games] gurpal2000:
really? well then I am misunderstanding this component. How come my texts and emails don't clear then?
[Android Apps and Games] a704e:
this behaviour only applies to this particular extension, as there's no way to detect whether the message is opened, unlike texts and emails, so the dev decided to clear it on unlock.

[Android Apps and Games] LunaticoCR:
It's working fine here on Nexus 5 4.4.2. It took me a while to find this... why is it not on Play?
[Android Apps and Games] panecondoin:
Seems I'm to late to the thread but one has to try :D

Great extension. The other one isn't available on Playstore anymore and was not working to begin with.

This one works but the count is off. Anyone with a tip on how to change that?

Im on a 4.4.2 custom ROM (XenonHD) at the moment

Edit :

Found the answer to my question. The extension resets read count when accessed on lockscreen, not home screen. This is due to Whatsapp not providing API for extensions, according to some people here in the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] singhpratik87:
could you explain the differences in notifications especially whatsapp ,alarm and weather?In one screenshot it's below the clock and in the other one it's next to the lock and shows the notification count next to whatsapp icon,how can i achieve the 2nd look using the dashclockwidget and whatsappextentsion?Thank you

There are other similar extensions on the play store more updated than mine :)

If anyone of you wants the source code I will be glad to give it to you.

Also you it should be "Whats

lock"

Its working perfectly for me with the whatsapp version from here http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ - 2.9.2363
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
Do you have Android 4.2+?

Did you activate accessibility service in the accessibility settings menu?
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
The string "Preferences" it's from Dashclock app. I don't know if the developer added german translation.
[Android Apps and Games] Juristium:
Re: [APP][4.2+] Dashclock Whatsapp Notifications Extension!

[Android Apps and Games] Phantom Pt. II:
Re: [APP][4.2+] Dashclock Whatsapp Notifications Extension!

Why does it need the accessibility enabled?

Sent using herpdiderp
[Android Apps and Games] :
Because whatsapp doea not provide an apo for it.
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
Right. WhatsApp does not provide an API so external apps cannot communicate with Whatsapp. The only solution is to ask Android to alert the extension when a notification comes up and this is done by activating the accessibility service ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mcg:
Doesn't work with the Whatsapp beta, tried enabling it in Accessibility but wouldn't turn on. But I guess it's a beta on a beta, lol!
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
Your version of Android? It must be 4.2+.

Did you have follow these steps?

1. Install Dashclock app

2. Install Whatsapp extension

3. Activate accessibility service

4. Add the extension from Dashclock settings
[Android Apps and Games] Zahih:
Re: [APP][4.2+] Dashclock Whatsapp Notifications Extension!

This is great extension for dashclock, and I can see the different with the other version in play store.

Yours is better I thought. I like it...

But I have some suggestion for you:

1. Can you put different color for the icons, coz it's the same color with the play store version -> black.

2. If we received notification from one person, can you make to open that person Whatsapp chat directly, instead of chat screen for all person.

Thanks.

The Attached File Dashclock Whatsapp Notifications 1.1.apk is not an apk... its a zip and when i flash it i get the message ''installation aborted''

What am i doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
You don't have to flash! You have to download the apk on the sdcard and than you have to click on that file from your file manager.

Be sure to activate Unknown sources from Security menu in Android settings!!
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Djoegoe:
Yes i know but the apk is an zip... so i cannot install with an file manager.
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
What version of Android do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Djoegoe:
4.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
I think it's a browser problem.

Try to download right-clicking and "Save as...". Be sure to save with apk extension.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Djoegoe:
Correct! i used another browser and installed the apk, ive got the DashClock widget on my lockscreen now and i added whatsapp but no messages...
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
Remove the extension from Dashclock and activate accessibility service for "Dashclock Whatsapp Notifications" in the Accessibility settings menu.

Then add the extension from dashclock settings menu.

[Android Apps and Games] shadowcaster31:
Ok i tested your extension. It works as expected. Good job!

However, i have a suggestion. When handling multiple msgs from multiple persons, i feel that you should concatenate them:

Instead of -

Message from A, Message from B, Message from C

Display like this -

Message from A, B & C
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
Yes. I'm working on it ;).
[Android Apps and Games] vbauer86:
Just my personal thought about it,

dont feel offended

I dont get the reason behind this extension and some others too like unread email, sms, calls. You have already the notification on statusbar so you can pull down the notificationbar without unlock the device and participate like call back, read the message if enlarged (whatsapp, gmail sms and so on)

This extension only sends a second icon near the clock and if you want to participate from there you have to press the icon first then unlock the device, so theres more steps to do for the same result.

Imo the best extensions for dashclock is battery where you can actually get some good information like health, temperature, mv. and unlock direktly into the settings-shortcut from battery and the calendar where you can see that an event is coming and unlock direktly into this.

every other extension is just a waste of space.

As I said this is only my opinion about it and not against anyone.

[Android Apps and Games] stiefanu:
R: [APP][4.2+] Dashclock Whatsapp Notifications Extension!

Well I partially agree with you, but, for example, I use this extension and others (like sms or Gmail) mainly because it's more difficult to reach the statusbar rather than tapping on the widget at the center of the screen :D I always use my smartphone with only a hand..

Sent from my -Galaxy Nexus-
[Android Apps and Games] drbitzer:
Ok. But if you have your phone locked with pin, password or sequence you cannot pull down the notification bar. You have to unlock, pull down, click. With dashclock extesions you can just click and unlock and have the app open on the screen. Anyway it is quite the same thing.

I think it's only a matter of personal tastes :D

Did you update the extension with the newer version or did you make a clean install? Try to make a clean install:

Remove extension from Dashclock

Settings -> Applications -> Dashclock Whatsapp Notifications: Clear cache; Terminate; Uninstall.

Reinstall the extension

For people having problems with turning "on" the accessibility option, do not try to turn it though tapping the "Error Option in the widget".

Instead go directly to Settings>Apps>Accessibility and turn it "on" manually.
