Thanks. worked great with nice graphics. I also found another app that had standalone "screen off" function capability if you loaded the whole app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537680
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surrealbliss:
does anyone have any plans to create a media player widget? I think that would be really nice. Also maybe some way for the google app to work as a widget would be cool.

I have a few questions maybe someone can help me out... I'm trying to figure out how I can have a page for sound profiles... like vibrate, silent, or loud... does anyone know what the shortcuts would need to be? How can I find out this info for myself?

Thanks in advance!

Great application.. I absolutely LOVE it and all of the widgets I've tried so far!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
You could probably do the profiles with some MortScripts if you are familiar with that. If not would be a good project to get started with :-)

Hi, I have problem with hqtasktoday - when I've installed it androkkid has felt down, after restart the widged was on the screen - tried to made new task but it didn't show it, and after makeing some settings (resizeing the hqtask) it felt again... does anybody had same problem or found a solution?

anyway, androkkit is great and I like it much more than original TF3D on my diamond.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
I have had similar problems with Androkkid crashing when I am adding or changing the widgets and shortcuts. After it restarts and I am not adjusting things, it seems to run fine so I have lived with it :)

I have had to remove the the weather forecast widget manually from the ini file too (I think this is referenced elsewhere). The mortscript didn't seem to work (maybe it couldn't get through my work firewall, so it didn't create the required reg settings???).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
By "felt down" do you mean crash? I don't know why hgTask crashes for you, I don't have that problem, but I'm in the process of improving the widget anyway, so I'll see if I can find out what's causing the problem.

As for the new task not showing up, that's probably because the widget only reloads every 10 minutes. I'll see if I can change it to reload when there is a change.

I made another widget, hgWeather, that doesn't use mortscript or the registry. I know it only has 2 days, and the graphics are not great, but I'm almost done with a new version, that has 4 days, and can be configured to show in different ways.

As Goraps qvga conversion is still in development I for one will be looking forward to trying your weather app again :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
Yes I am still working on Different Resolutions. By the way, when you add my widget to your Androkkid desktop, what are the dimensions that it installs to.

Maybe if you scale it to different dimensions it will work better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schula:
Yes, please excuse my English - I meant crash - it show message which I do not understand and crash the whole androkkid...

Back to the widget-maybe would be enought if man can manually refresh the tasks...

I also would like to ask if it would be difficult to make widget like this not showing tasks but sms (maybe just first words of the unread ones)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
You could also use SetVolume, a skinnable interface to which you can create a shortcut. You can find it on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=395695.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I've created a Tasks widget. It shows up to 8 tasks, starting with active tasks (green), next overdue tasks (red) and other future tasks (white), all depending on the number of items still available to display. It also shows the total of tasks today and overdue tasks and the last update time. Recurring tasks are marked with an "*". Clicking on the widget launches the Tasks application.

If you want to try it and have any issues, please let me know.

See Post #99 for the latest version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surrealbliss:
wmdirk: I tested your widget on my HTC Touch and it appears to be working but the font is incredibly small. There are green lines of text and white lines of text so its definitely working! Hopefully you can find a way to fix the issue! thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hackbob:
Thx pal, it works great on my HTC Universal.

In my opinion, it would be good to have the appointment too in the list, and open the selected item on double click.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
ah thanks hackbob you have already answered my question, i was looking to see if this did appointments. hopefully someone can convert this to display appointments or perhaps wmdirk could share his/her code and language used
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I'm planning on creating an Agenda widget (or rather extending the nextAppointment widget). Personally, I prefer 2 seperate widgets.

Widget settings.... looking the Androkkid settings.ini file, I see references to settings files for the widgets. in \\programfiles\androkkid\widgets\settings. I only have one file in there, filename appears to be datetime.ini. It has some settings for the photo viewer. Some other widgets reference files that don't exist. Would it be better if each widget kept it's settings in its own folder?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
I also have tiny/unreadable font after installing on QVGA device. Also there appears to be a purple border on the background image. Is there a setting for font size? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I'm running Androkkid on an AT&T Tilt 2, WM 6.5 I created a couple of tasks to test the tasks widget, then restarted Androkkid. The widget says "no tasks" even though I created two new ones. I have a similar issue with appointments in a calendar app I have, so I'm suspecting that Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, changed where WM 6.5 looks for that information. Also, some of the "transparency pink" shows along the edges.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
Could you scale the font so that it's usable for QVGA: like

Private DimScale As Single = Math.Max(480 / Math.Min(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height), 640 / Math.Max(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height))
fntApp = New Font("Arial", numfont * [B]DimScale[/B], FontStyle.Regular)

hi to all, unfortunately the task widget does not work properly on my htc diamond.in compare to hqtask i was able to install the new one and if i tap on it,it runs the wm task,but it does not show the created tasks...maybe i am doing somerhing wrong, can anybody help or provide some advice?thx in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
There are 2 new versions of the Tasks widget: one showing more tasks (called Tasks), the other showing less (only 3, called TasksToday). There are some minor layout changes (fontsize slightly increased).

Sorry QVGA guys, I'm trying to get the version running for you as well.

Concerning WM6.5: I'm unable to test this. Tomorrow I'll post the source code, maybe someone can have a look at it.

I'm working on an Agenda as well... and maybe a combination of both in a single widget (if I have the time).

It was tested using the Visual Studio 2008 emulator and on my HTC Touch Diamond.

Latest version in Post #99
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Make sure you have the right dimensions for the widget (for the old one it's 400x250, for the new Tasks widget it's 400x350, for TasksToday it's 400*170).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I managed to get a QVGA version. Hope someone is willing to test it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schula:
sorry for asking again - where in the phone are the tasks saved? It still doesn't work for me and I thought that there could be problem in localization - many files are named in Czech so maybe this could be my problem...

if you'll be able to come up with something another that could solve my problem, I would be very happy... thx in advance

EDIT: Just to provide some more information about my problem - I have tried to install spb Diary and it found already created tasks...

I am really desperate...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
The font is still too small. Did you use the "Dimscale" code I suggested?

If you add the source code tomorrow, I can look at it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schula:
to WMDIRK:ok, so finally I have found the problem (it is either bug or maby it was intention, anyway) - my tasks weren't displayed because when I created them - I made them for more days and the widged displayed them only if there is at least one task that ends in actual day.

For example if I have two tasks where the first begins today(28.10.) and ends 31.10. and the secon 30.10.-31.10. no task will be shown.

But if I make the thirth task which will be just for today (28.10.) all three tasks are displayed.

So I do not know if this was intention, but do you think it would be possible to make it like that tasks will be displayed also in the first day of their relevance and not just in the last?

thanks and sorry for those problems ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Got both up on my AT&T Tilt 2 (Touch Pro 2). Display is perfect. I have two tasks, one dated today, one tomorrow. Waiting to see if both or only one is displayed tomorrow, if left uncompleted. I had two undated tasks that never displayed, even though they hadn't been completed.

agenda idea

Attached mockup of what I think would be a cool agenda :-) It would be nice to have a configurable font size, tell it how many lines, and sort by date/pri.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The Screen variable is not available in VS.net 2008, but I found the alternative. The new versions should now function for VGA (Tasks: 400x370, TasksToday: 400x170) and QVGA (Tasks: 200x185, TasksToday: 200x85).

The bug reported by Schula has been fixed. Undated tasks are not displayed.

Layout has again been modified slightly. Let me know which you like best... :-)

The source code is available as well (it hasn't really been cleaned up though).

Maybe I'm missing something. The bluetooth widget worked fine on my Treo Pro, WM 6.1. It worked fine when I installed Androkkid on my Tilt 2, WM 6.5. For the last 4 or 5 days, it stopped working & I have no idea why. Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Just a quick preview of the Calender widget I'm working on. Any comment is welcome.

PS: the intention is to use the GORAPSWeather widget for weather information. Goraps, I hope you don't mind me reusing the info and icons (and could you let me know how to resize the icons in VB.net)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I'm looking forward to that one. With or without the weather stuff.

I have an idea, but I'm not a programmer. So I'll throw it out as a request. Assuming it's possible to do in whatever programming languages are used for Androkkid & widgets. And I have two alternatives.

I like the monthly calendar in TF3D 2.1, where it's slightly transparent, showing the background. Plus tapping any day goes to a daily view, which shows the appointments for that day.

The calendar I really like is one that Zenkins did for Pointui, called Zenyee Calendar. The 2.0 version is nicer looking. Both have monthly, weekly & yearly views. The monthly & weekly also show today's appointments. It supports landscape view, too. I'm not sure if tapping a different day would display that day's appointments, but it'd certainly be a great feature in an Androkkid version. Especially since Simo has made Androkkid a whole lot more stable than Pointui.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schula:
it looks great, looking forward ;) - have you already chosen a a server for weather?

btw thanks for fixing bug in tasks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
Go Ahead use what ever you like as for resizing the images I used the attached code. Maybe you could figure out how to make the font work for other resolutions, I have been way too busy lately to work on it.

Dim srcRect As Rectangle
Dim destRect As Rectangle

destRect = New Rectangle(120, 130, 56 * DimScale, 36 * DimScale)
srcRect = New Rectangle(0, 0, 112, 72)
gx.DrawImage(Weather(CInt(sIcon2) - 1), destRect, srcRect, GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
gx.DrawString(sDay2, fntFor, brsWhite, 149, 168, strForm)
gx.DrawString(sFor2, fntFor, brsWhite, 149, 170, strForm)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
To get the weather info, you'll need GORAPSWeather installed. If I'm not mistaking, it 's AccuWeather. Currently, I have a version without the weather info. I hope to make it available in a couple of days and it 'll have a couple of neat features :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hackbob:
This is awesome, as well as the task widget.

It would be good if there will be the possibility to configure the widgets, but i think the main restriction is made by Androkkid.

Maybe it can be done with an external application like "TaskWidgConfig" to configure the config file of the Widg, to configure something like "use weather", or the number of tasks and appointment shown.

If I get rid of the problems with my VS 2008 and mobile apps, I'll be glad to land an hand.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Androkkid not restrict nothing, any developer can made widgets with correct code to specify all settings in a separate form, like Analog clock or Photo frame.

When widget start you can set default options and in a separate form the developer can create a Settings module to specify all variables used in widget.

Look the source code of Analog clock or Photo frame widget.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
it installs to 200x 120 I have tried various expansions and contractions to try get a readable screen but with no success.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
Wish I had the s/w to try and recompile the widgets, could someone with the tools please edit the widget.vb for the line operator and remove the following

'Write Text of operator

gx.DrawString(OPName, fntLine, brsBlack, 50 - (2 / DimScale), 34, StrForm)

gx.DrawString(OPName, fntLine, brsBlack, 50 + (2 / DimScale), 34, StrForm)

gx.DrawString(OPName, fntLine, brsBlack, 50, 34 - (2 / DimScale), StrForm)

gx.DrawString(OPName, fntLine, brsBlack, 50, 34 + (2 / DimScale), StrForm)

gx.DrawString(OPName, fntLine, brsWhite, 50, 34, StrForm)

i think (think) that this when recompiled will produce a naked line operator ie signal strength only.

*edit*

similarly the code for the battery has the lines

'Write Text of power status

gx.DrawString(TextCharge, fntBattery, brsBlack, 50 - (2 / DimScale), 6, StrForm)

gx.DrawString(TextCharge, fntBattery, brsBlack, 50 + (2 / DimScale), 6, StrForm)

gx.DrawString(TextCharge, fntBattery, brsBlack, 50, 6 - (2 / DimScale), StrForm)

gx.DrawString(TextCharge, fntBattery, brsBlack, 50, 6 + (2 / DimScale), StrForm)

gx.DrawString(TextCharge, fntBattery, brsWhite, 50, 6, StrForm)

IF someone could test both of these and produce naked versions im sure a lot of qvga users will be very happy.

does Androkkid support RSS feeds or some sort news widgets. I'm on SPB mobile shell 3.5 now, but been looking for an interface that supports live RSS. I don't really like to see just a "dot" on the screen. thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Do the Next Appointment, Tasks, Tasks Today & wmdirk's upcoming Appointments widgets point to the actual WM calendar & tasks apps or does it point to links for the apps? I use Calendar Touch from SBSH. They fixed an issue relating to displaying recurring appointments under WM 6.5, but not how to get all the appropriate links to point to Calendar Touch. Would it be possible to make these widgets user configurable? Or does a specific link/app need to be hardcoded in?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
It would be great if the text could be disabled via a settings.ini file. Even if a GUI config page like the PhotoFrame has is not yet been developed (not really needed IMO), we could just disable via the ini file.

I think this goes for all widgets, a few options via ini file would satisfy all of various tastes (config font sizes, date format, show header row, how many days to show in agenda, etc) :)

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
Looks great :) Request... can you add checks that if network/weather is not available, the widget will still work okay (other than weather)? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hackbob:
Thx ssj5trunks for the good work on androkidd and to point me to an example where i can see a custom edit in widget.

My sentence was due to lack of information mainly caused by my damn VS2008 installation (unfortunately i can't use Monodevelop because mobile app are not fully supported and it's difficult to test), and the fact that i've not used the widgets specified.

Big Up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I was planning on creating a settings file, since a number of parameter can be configured, a.o. include weather or not, and the PIM exe (just don't know exactly which parameters are needed to configure opening the PIM with a specific appointment). Currently, the widget opens the default calendar (depending on what you have installed, this may not be Pocket Outlook). The widget will have multiple click areas, to open the calendar, an appointment, create a new appointment or do a refresh. I'm still having some problems with the recurring appointments (if anyone has good code to retrieve the recurring appointment instances, it would be welcome). The widget will also be skinnable, allowing it to take different colors, icons and even sizes (and thus displaying less or more appointments), depending on your needs. The images attached give you an idea (still have some work on the graphics though).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
This is what I used in my old program hgAgenda:

appRstr=outlookSession.Appointments.Items.Restrict(strQ.ToString());
(strQ being the filter, subject, date etc)
appRstr[0].ShowDialog(); this will show the first fit

This is a problem I also had with hgAgenda; it showed the first, but not future recurring appointments. As far as I know, it's a feature missing in evb and c#, but can be done using p/invoke. That's another reason why I started with iAgenda; it's in c++ and it's fairly easy to do the recurrence.

I'm looking forward to your widget, it's really looking great!:)

I'm looking forward to using this one. Very nice work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I am kind of late in getting and setting up this app, so I want to thank all of you for doing the leg work in figuring out how a lot of the things works.

I was able to make icons for email, sms and used MakeVmail.exe to be able to show the number of voicemails and dial my voicemail with the same icon. My question now is how do I make an icon for missed calls.

I know how to display the number of missed calls; what I don't know is how to set up the icon so that it will go missed calls page (or even the call history page).

I am hoping this is the correct thread to post this as this was the thread that helped me set up the sms and email.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
it would be very cool if the ilauncher and iagenda apps could be integrated into andokkid in some way. flipping the navigation so it appears at the top of the screen and the bottom of androkkid remains visible.

imagine clicking on the programs button at the bottom of androkkid and the ilauncher app slides into view :eek:

that would be an awesome complete solution:cool:

Similar I think would be to make an option for each widget/shortcut to make it "sticky", or show on all pages. Then maybe a utility or something which would allow a shortcut to switch pages.

Thank you. That worked perfectly. Now I just need to find some icons to make them look nice.

The "iReflect" ifone style icons have already been editted so the transparency works with Androkkid. Link is near the bottom of this page... http://www.simosoftprojects.com/androkkid.php

WMD-Agenda

If you appreciate this widget, I 'd appreciate a donation (so I can justify all these late hours and long programming to my wife & kids :)) : https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9414490.

I hope you enjoy using Androkkid and the WMD-Agenda widget!

The current version is 1.6 (Nov. 9th, 2009).

The next version will be v2.0 and I'm planning a couple of new features...

General remarks:

- depending on the number of appointments, it may take a while (up to 5 seconds on my device) for the widget to load the first time and when updating (it will not respond to clicks during update). The auto-update has been set to 60s in the settings file (via the refresh icon you can update at any time). Please don't be alarmed; your system doesn't hang. You can modify the settings to fit your personal needs;

- weather can be updated via the message box. This will be an update for all weather information, not just for that day. When you click "yes" to update, the message box will remain displayed until the weather info has been updated. Next, the widget itself will update.

The full information about the widget and the download are available on http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft.

Any feedback is welcome (bugs too :rolleyes:)...

Thanks for the info.

Restrict() effectively does not give all the information. Could you make the source code or a DLL for P/Invoke available, to be integrated in the agenda to make it more efficient?
