You should click on reply on the post so that people could see which post you are replying to, plus I didn't notice you've replied to me this way...

1.ok.

So on which version of the app have you change it to 19 ?

2. about the main screen, I see.

You can still have the native action bar, and set its background to be semi-transparent.

3. I have no idea as I'm not a designer. I was confused with how it works, as an end user...

The reason of confusion is that you have the tabs too, and when you have tabs and you can swipe, it should work like on other apps.

Designing such an app requires a lot of thinking ...

One way to get ideas is to try other apps.

4. ok.

do note that I didn't use the play-store-services for locations, so I have no idea what will happen on devices that don't have it. maybe it has a fallback, and maybe you will need to make one yourself.

You'd better try it out (maybe on the emulator?) .

5. OK.

Speaking of live-wallpaper and widgets, you can also make a day-dream (screensaver) on Android.

It's still not a popular feature, and I never made it myself, but maybe it's easy to do it when you already have the code for the live wallpaper...

6. Even though it's probably too late, you could make a single app instead of 2 , and let the users have the ability to pay via the app to have the premium-features .

This way you don't have to manage multiple apps that are almost the same...

That's what I did on my app.
[Android Apps and Games] Zehlek:
Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
1. Yes, I've changed targetSdkVersion to 19

5. Daydream is one of the top requested features for YoWindow.

Certainly one of the top priorities.

6. That was a pure business decision. Two apps is better for marketing. The app is available in two charts - more people see it.

Managing two apps is easy for us.

The code base is the same.

The builds are made via command line.

The only pain was uploading a ton of screen-shots for 30 languages for both app editions.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
1. I have the version code 71 (v1.0.5) . it doesn't seem like it got changed there.

Maybe you didn't change the properties of the app ?

check the file "project.properties" . does it have the next line in it:

target=android-19

?

5. I see.

6. yes. it has its advantages.

another thing is that some users don't like to see "free" yet the app has in-app-billing, even if it's a minor matter.

7. If you wish, I can give you other tips. For example, I suggest you to subscribe to "Android weekly" . they send you an email every week or so, with cool libraries , tips and other stuff.

An example of a website that I found useful there is this website.

you can check out their archive here .

Touchwiz like features on widget???

Nice app guys!

Just one request, if you can consider it..

The only thing keeping me from ditching touchwiz completely on my note 3 is the weather widget.

the main feature useful for me is the Auto scroll on the widget which changes the stored locations at set interval to show the time and weather in each city that we have added.

Would it be possible to get a widget which does this same thing on YoWindow weather?

Thanks!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] sheraro:
mmm ... am I missing something ?!
[Android Apps and Games] Hornychief:
I can't imagine. You are talking about country Morocco right?

Should be along with the rest of then when you are adding location.
[Android Apps and Games] johnnyar:
very good app but stays open in status bar and not good for battery, anyway good work
[Android Apps and Games] Hornychief:

[Android Apps and Games] coolsandie:
A pretty good weather app I must say. I was actually a Yahoo weather user, but after installing YoWindow I got instantly loved with the dynamic real-time live weather conditions inside the app. I'm not sure whether there is any other weather app in Play Store that displays live weather animations which is pure dynamic (Similar to what Apple has done with their iOS7 weather app) The sounds just adds more fun into it. Thanks for their great weather app.

My only suggestion is make that statusbar and Nav bars transparent for kitkat users. Once again thanks for this app. :)

Sheeps

Hey guys is it possible (or is there allready) to add the option to disable the sheeps and bunnies and what ever in partly cloudy screen? its a bit to female for me :p
[Android Apps and Games] tmihai20:
Since the last 2 updates the temperature is not displayed in the status bar or within the app (I get a question sign) whenever I am at home. I try to get the temperature for Galati, Romania. Can it be related to Internet provider? The thing is that temperature doesn't show on mobile Internet or on WiFi (I have a different provider at work than at home). Why doesn't it show when I am at home? I do not use the home location (GPS or whatever it is using), I use a fixed location. Can I debug it somehow? I like to see the temperature in the status bar, not the app icon.
[Android Apps and Games] timothydonohue:
I am also not getting temperature update in status bar anymore. Seems to have started shortly after I bought the donate version :/
[Android Apps and Games] Galaxo60:
I have to say that I stayed some months in a little town in Romania (Navodari), and it seems that the app wasn't displaying the weather properly, but because of the weather provider, not the app itself.

When I moved to my city (Mexico City), the app displayed the weather in a perfectly way.
[Android Apps and Games] tmihai20:
The problem is that until some updates ago it behaved well and the temperature was displayed properly. It is still happening, maybe we can get an several weather providers.
[Android Apps and Games] idCyber:
More weather providers would be great on this gorgeous weather app
[Android Apps and Games] Galaxo60:
As far as I know, they will be sticking with the current provider because of the fact is accesible. I read somewhere that other weather providers want a lot of money to use their services, and that means maybe increase the price of the full version and not free app.

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I have a request for the app:

add optional gestures handling. For example, double clicking, swipe up/down...

In the settings of the app, the user could choose what to do with each of those gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
Double tap is already implemented - it returns you to the live mode.

We do have plans to add a vertical gesture to switch the locations, but this task is waiting for its turn.
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
The new version of YoWindow Weather is supporting Weather Underground and Open Weather Map weather providers.

To change the provider for a location:

- Open locations list

- Tap (i) button in from of the location

- Choose the weather provider and you are set
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
Just want to share our joy.

YoWindow Weather has been featured this week on Google Play.

First time ever.

:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] pilgrim011:
Thank you, but it's not implemented that good - my weather provider of choice is Weather Underground, but it's not listed in "Weather forecast " section.
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
I have to admit that only Current weather is available from Weather Underground.

The reason is we would have to pay twice as much for the forecast.

I was told by weather guys that yr.no forecasts are backed by the best known model, so I was hoping that they are just enough.

Anyway, I hope the project will grow faster after Play Store featuring and we will be able to pay for more weather sources.
[Android Apps and Games] pilgrim011:
Oh, well, it's not that important - I thought it was a bug, but now I know.
[Android Apps and Games] par128:

Hi, thank you for reporting this and even submitting a bug to Google.

I have read the discussion carefully and inspected the logs.

Unfortunately, right now I have no idea how to solve this GmsCore dependency issue.

However, I think the wallpaper is crashing on "O" for another reason.

There are some code that make the application to crash on Android O.

Right now we are fixing these issues one by one.

[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Today when I got to the office, this app started while the smartphone was inside my pocket.

I don't know how it's possible, but it played birds sounds, and people around (and myself too) thought that there are birds stuck somewhere in the ceiling...

Only later I found that this app has made those sounds.

:)

Please disable the sounds by default.
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
Oh, well, sometimes I also wonder where the birds are chirping - outside or in the app :)

YoWindow is not designed to start automatically.

Unless two particular cases.

1. YoWidow was set as an alarm clock.

2. YoWindow is set as screensaver. But in this case it only starts automatically when the device is charging.

If you set YoWindow as Android wallpaper - the sounds are disabled automatically by default.

In the app you can turn all the sounds in the settings.

Just slide the volume to zero.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Well it wasn't set as alarm clock.

It was only set as live wallpaper, not a screen saver. Besides, the screen saver is set to show while docked. This time the smarphone was in my pocket.

The app somehow was in the foreground.

The app made the sounds while in the foreground, as if I opened it.

It's weird because on Android 10 apps can't start on their own anymore, except for some special cases...

I didn't even have a shortcut of the app on the launcher's home screens, so accidental clicking while in the pocket is also weird...

The only thing that might have triggered it is clicking on a notification, but this is also weird because I didn't do it, and for accidental clicking there... - that's too little chance to happen...

That's why this whole story is weird for me.

My suggestion (and request because I like this app) is to have the sounds turned off by default on the app itself. It doesn't help much anyway for opening a weather forecast app, no matter how fun and nice it looks like.
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
Actually, an app can open itself ("Activity") on Android 10 if it displays "foreground notification". That's the very case with YoWindow. However, I assure you there is no code to open YoWindow intentionally.

I wrote most of YoWindow code and I'm supervising any new code added not by myself.

The app must not open itself voluntary.

This is the first time we receive this kind of a report (out of 1.2 million active users).

I'm curious about the cause just as you are.

Regarding the sounds.

You can turn off the sounds in YoWindow completely.

There's a setting inside YoWindow just for this case.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Yes I know it's weird. Happened to me only once. Maybe in the pocket it somehow woke up and clicked on its notification. I don't know.

Anyway, about sound, please make it disabled by default. Also, I don't see where this setting is. I tried reaching every setting of the app. Doesn't seem to appear there. There is "I want to have fun" which doesn't explain what it is, though.

Today I've noticed another annoyance: I got 3 notifications of the app, one after another, each in a different language for some reason. And they are all seem like ads. Even clicking on one only removed it alone and not the others. Please don't put ads in notifications. That's not what notifications are for. It's even against the Play Store terms, as I remember.

Another annoyance is that I un-select in the ad "remind me later", and yet it still appears again and again.
[Android Apps and Games] Zehlek:
Anyone else always get network error when looking at map/radar?
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
Hi!

Sorry for the delayed reply.

We are busy working on new Train Station landscape.

The sound is controlled with a slider in YoWindow/Settings screen. I wonder why did you miss it? I can post a screenshot, if you need help.

The notifications are sent to free edition of YoWindow only when we are running a discount promotion of the paid edition.

The three notifications are sent because Google put your device in three language groups. I suspect the language of the phone has been changed previously.

"Remind me later" should be fixed in the last update to YoWindow. Alternatively, you can turn the exit add off in YoWindow/Settings/Advanced
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
Do you still experience the network error in Radar/Map?

[Android Apps and Games] par128:
It takes a lot of trouble to keep backward compatibility while keeping the product evolution. I'm glad to read it makes difference for people. Thank you for letting us know!

I hope we can keep 4.1 support on for as long as we can.

[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Yes, I understand that and that's why it's appreciated. Sources? Dark Sky or Wunderground, are they still a paid source to use? Any Canadian sources that you could possibly add?
[Android Apps and Games] par128:
We are constantly looking for affordable weather API sources.

Dark Sky was acquired by Apple. They are going to discontinue the API access within a year.

Weather Underground has been acquired by IBM. After that we were banned from using the API.

This is the official answer from IBM.

"I can not offer you our service. Because we have a terms and condition violation

Please take a look at

https://www-03.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf/sla/sd-7492-10

5.2 Restrictions on Usage

(1) Restriction of usage: Client is prohibited from using the Data, directly or indirectly, as part of, or to create, a Third

Party Application the essential purpose of which is to provide current or forecast weather or atmospheric conditions or analysis thereof."

We are going to add personal weather stations (PWSs) network from Aeris weather soon.

Supporting Canadian weather agency weather is on our task list.

I hope it won't take long.

Anyway Foreca is a very good weather source worldwide.

I recommend choosing Nowcasting/Foreca pair in YoWindow weather settings.
