Zehro,

Any chances of being able to put a small "title" on each widget if a user wants to? So say I have 2 clocks on my homescreen for when I travel on business, I can have a SMALL label on say the bottom left that says home, and then one that says where I am at (both user defined entries).

just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
I misread it as some kind of requirement; like if you set your clock settings to 12hr, then it somehow broke clockr's ability to use it's own 12 hour option.
[Android Apps and Games] Cy_n_ic:
purchased evolution and im diggin the date option. Only input i have for this exceptional widget is if i could have one with time only and one with date only. Just a thought, still love it the way it is though
[Android Apps and Games] superleeds27:
Using 1.5.1, been using it for about 2 hours, hasn't stopped yet!

Great work :)
[Android Apps and Games] qupada:
First off, thanks for the frequent updates and new features.

I was wondering if we could get a date option like 'dddNNmmm' 'dddNNthmmm', where the day-of-month is a number. On days like today, 'seventeenth' is making the date a bit too wide.

Only real issue I've had is the middle word seems to be 1px lower than the outer two - I hadn't noticed until I switched to all lowercase on the date. It's only a minor thing but a little distracting at times. (screenshotted)

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
Small request; can we get an am/pm option on the time, now that we can use a 12 hour clock? Mayeb make it smaller than the rest, as only an indicator e.g:

fiveTHIRTYthreepm

Also, is the clock still only saying the minutes between 0:00 and 0:59? It's a bit annoying when the clock pops up only saying 'thirtythree', without an hour.
[Android Apps and Games] napes22:
Mine stopped almost immediately after adding it to my homescreen. Hope this gets fixed soon!
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
Perhaps that's down to your font? No such problems here!
[Android Apps and Games] superleeds27:
+1 for this, would be a good feature!
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
This is possible, might look into adding this in a future update

This complaint should be directed to the person who designed the default Droid Sans font on your phone.

The problem is, all the bold characters sit one pixel lower than regular characters. Very bad design, can't believe they didn't pick up on this. I also can't change this because if I do allow for the one pixel difference, anyone (including myself) that uses a custom default font will have issues with alignment.

I'm still keeping the same update system, but maybe expanding on it so that (hopefully) it doesn't stop for those people having troubles. You have to understand that it's very hard for me to know why it is stopping for you guys (esp the guy with a nexus one, it just seems impossible).

Anyway, I'll see what I can dig up tonight after work.
[Android Apps and Games] BottledHate:
@zehro

for the record:

Moto Droid (OG). Cayanogen 6.1 rc3, rc4.

Previous to your update on 11/15/2010 i ran with the service on and had no problems. With the service off, i would get random hang-ups.

Since the update yesterday i have not had a freeze up.
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
Thanks.

Yeah, don't worry. I'm not going to be breaking it for you since currently it is working rather well for most people at the moment. I'm just adding some extra stuff so that it works for the people who had no trouble with the previous version, but are having trouble with the new version.

I know what I need it to be doing, just need to get my code to cooperate with me. :P

I'll get a chance to go through it tonight when I get home and hopefully get an update out after it has been tested.

I'll also work on updating the regular Clockr so that options apply to each widget individually (just like Clockr Evolution).

BTW, it can get tricky trying to update two different versions at the same time. I think I need to install a CVS so I can see the changes I've made more easily.
[Android Apps and Games] jakey99:
Problem i am having is that the clockr background is not across the whole screen on my samsung transform.

Edit: Also without force update in new version the clockr widget doesn't update.
[Android Apps and Games] S_Dot:
Hey broski, you're clock refused to update time since new update.
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
I may have fixed the problem. It is working for at least one person so far that was having trouble before. I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to know for sure.

EDIT: Actually, it turns out the problem is (so far) only linked to the regular version of Clockr. I usually work on Clockr Evolution first because it is a lot more complex application. It is possible that the changes didn't carry over properly.
[Android Apps and Games] reprod:
What home launcher application are you using? It looks like it isn't a 4x5 widget screen setup.

Zehro... correct me if I am wrong but does your app only support 4x1 in portrait?

Sent via Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] jakey99:
It's Zeam Launcher. I can't give link since new member but it can be found under: Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games

What you are seeing is my dock. I still have 4x1 portrait for home screen. I have it set to small item spacing ( Preferences > Dock > Item spacing > small )
[Android Apps and Games] BottledHate:
you are doing great... you sir get one thousand internets for your support thus far!
[Android Apps and Games] BottledHate:
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

1.6!!!

+Separate options for each widget!!! :D

huge.

if only there was an option to turn off time then i think my wish list from pages ago would be complete!

update went smooth... defaulted all options.. no big deal. reset was quick and painless.

oh yeah... rgb values pls :D

everyone should get the donate!

clockr evo 1.6 SS
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
I'm slowly getting through my to-do list, but keep getting held back by instability issues with the clock updating for some people.

I *think* it is all fixed on Clockr Evolution and the version of Clockr that I have sent out for testing should be better now, I just need to wait untill tomorrow for people to confirm that it is working, then I will update the app on the market and I can get back to working on my ever-growing to-do list. =D

If you are using default Launcher, yes. With custom launchers (launcherPro, etc..) I'm sure it can support any size. I know in launcherPro, you can just resize it to fit any size. People have requested some alternate size widgets (ie: 2x1) but I'm not sure yet if I will do this. I still need to clean-up the background and shadow preferences so I can remove a few xml files. Then it will be easier to make alternate size widgets if I decide it can be done cleanly. Obviously a 5x1 is needed for the people who have requested it for their tablets.

EDIT: I've updated Clockr to v1.6 now. I'm assuming the bugs in the last version are fixed now. It can't be any worse than the previous version right?

I have also enabled separate options for each widget (like Clockr Evolution).

As always, let me know if the clock isn't updating. I can't test every case scenario, I can only do my best to improve on my mistakes.

Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] rbenz:
Is the free Clockr fixed? Still ver 1.5 on market.
[Android Apps and Games] adavisme:
I'm still only seeing 1.5.1 of Clockr too. Clockr Evolution shows 1.6...
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
Sorry guys, I pressed "Publish" didn't realise that it now requires a High Resolution icon... It has been uploaded now!

I wonder why they need a high resolution icon now? 512x512 is rather large for the market.
[Android Apps and Games] Lakitu:
Just got Evolution. It's a thing of beauty. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
After it not keeping up to date for me from the beginning (without the force update), I know have over 2 days of using the newly installed update method and I'm happy to say no problems! :D

Thanks so much for working to get the update functionality working correctly without the force update.
[Android Apps and Games] Glithramir:
Running the latest clockr now and so far the time is ticking. :D
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
That's always a good sign! Hopefully it stays running and I don't get my inbox spammed with emails in the morning. =D

Anyone have any trouble accessing the options on either version? The updates should have removed all user settings, so I'm not sure what people on the market are complaining about.

BTW... It really frustrates me when people post comments like "No options work since update please fix" on the Market. There's no way for me to respond or ask them what they mean, so there is no way for me to fix their problem and then my app ends up with a bad rating from them... >_<

Ridiculous!

Anyway, hope all your clocks keep ticking!

Goodnight all.
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
I agree...the Market comments are flawed. People can post total crap and I think a dev should have the chance to respond to people when they make those type of comments. Hopefully in future updates to the Market we will have that option...which supposedly some changes are coming soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
Minor, purely aesthetic suggestion; when I wake my phone and WidgetLocker pops up, it takes a second to update the Clockr widget with the correct time.

I'm assuming that this is because it's waiting for the tick event - for a second to pass - before updating the clock. Maybe you could put in some additional events for updating the clock display, such as the phone waking from standby?

Other than that, everything is awesome!

Also, I'm not happy with the comment system on the market either, such as the way it doesn't specify what version people are commenting on; you might have fixed a crippling bug, but people's comments still make it appear that this is still present.
[Android Apps and Games] nitroshockwave:
Thanks for working so hard on this, zehro!

One small thing that's bugging me - the force 12-hour format option works, except for between midnight to 1 am. The time still shows as e.g. "twenty-two" instead of "twelve twenty-two". It's a minor detail, but hopefully won't be too difficult to fix in a future update. Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] blackderbyhat:
I just purchased the evolution version of this app.

Thanks for your work on it, I was having some issues with the clock not updating before the recent clockr update (the today one), but decided to get the evo one anyways.

My only suggestion is maybe to have it so you can see the values you put in for each color (RBG) so you can match the date/time colors perfectly. Not a big deal though, it only took me 3ish minutes to get them close enough anyways.
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
I bought the Evolution version in order to show my support for your continued work.

However, using the beta you PM'd me I still had the clock get stuck a few times, and with Clockr Evolution from the market (purchased and installed this morning) the clock has been stuck at 10:30 despite it now being 12:14. No idea what the issue is.

The phone has been sitting charging on my desk at work since 9:30, with only Barnacle Wifi Tether and Handcent SMS using any real system resources.
[Android Apps and Games] rbenz:
Went ahead and got ClockrEvo. First app donation/purchase from the market! Love it!
[Android Apps and Games] gk527:
Very nice app. Bought the app today.

One request. Allow for smaller font sizes.
[Android Apps and Games] tominabox1:
Make sure you uninstall all old versions before you install any new ones. Also, reboot before installing too. Give that a shot. I was having major problems but both versions I'm running now (evo beta and standard from the market) are staying synced and were not working before the updates.
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
Well, no nasty emails... yet! Just more pointless comments that I can't reply to on the Android Market.

Since not one of these people having issues with being able to set options has bothered to contacted me via email or post here, I can only assuming it is not a problem of the application, just a problem with them not re-installing the widgets on their home-screen after the update.

Tonight I will be adding an option in Clockr Evo to hide the clock (date must already be selected).

EDIT: I also have to fix the time (between midnight and 1am) and also start work on RGB values for colors.
[Android Apps and Games] mcmikecruz1:
I'm sure it sucks to see negative comments about your app , try not to talk it to heart .

Me and many other members on this forum and am sure elsewhere greatly appreciate all the time and effort to you have put into this .

All those all those comments will eventually get flushed out
[Android Apps and Games] BottledHate:
well mine hung up finally... it hung on on fourTWENTY. no ****....

at the time i was driving home using gps when i got a text... normally the screen doesn't shut off using gps but since i left it and went to messaging it did... i assume that's when it froze.

whatever... resizing the widget seemed to snap it out of whatever was going on. maybe it was adw launcher messing up.

still love the app!
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
Did it at work earlier this afternoon. So far, so good (knock on wood).

Love Clockr though!
[Android Apps and Games] erickr56:
Is it just me? But I just installed RC1 CM6.1 on my G2 and my clockr evo is the only thing missing that didnt get backed up. :( And I cant find it on the market, all I find after searching is regular clockr.
[Android Apps and Games] chupachup:
i realised that everytime i reboot my phone, the clock updates for one minute and then stop updating.

an illustration:

phone rebooted at 9:06PM, widget shows 9:06PM

phone time changes to 9:07PM, widget shows 9:07PM

phone time changes to 9:08PM, widget remains at 9:07PM

tested twice with same results. please fix this bug!

i'm using the clockr evo v1.6 from market on xperia mini pro (2.1)
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
I have Clockr Evolution and I'm running CM6.1 RC1...but on my EVO. I do have the app though no problem. I guess it could be related to the G2 specifically?
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
Same happened to me. I rebooted my phone, and now Clockr has gotten stuck at a time that would've been shortly (ie: minutes) after I did so.

I'll test more thoroughly and confirm.
[Android Apps and Games] mad3963:
Great widget! I would love to have option to open my favorite clock/alarm app when tapping clockr widget.
[Android Apps and Games] 3Shirts:
Umm... that's what the "Tap To Open.." option at the bottom of the settings page does.
[Android Apps and Games] reprod:
Are you guys using Task Killer's by any chance?
[Android Apps and Games] erickr56:
I'm thinking its CM6.1 somehow, cuz I bought it off the market when I had vanilla with the OTA on it. My G1 can find it on the market. Sucks cuz I can get the updates. Any other G2 owners?
[Android Apps and Games] chupachup:
nope, i'm not using any task killers.
[Android Apps and Games] sometimestephen:
Let me start off by saying I love this clock and date widget. I use it with every theme I create which is usually on a day to day basis haha. I only have one question, what is the default font?! I'm constantly trying to find the font to match it with other aspects of my theme because I enjoy it so much, but can't pin point it exactly. Thanks in advance! I appreciate all of your hard work
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
Unless SystemPanel implemented a stealth task killer at some point, then no. I haven't used a task killer in months.
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
It seems to use the default font you have installed.
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
I have this same issue but being that I don't reboot unless I have a reason to like do a nandroid backup or flashing a ROM/theme...this isn't a big deal. All you have to do is remove the widget and add it back. Fixing it would be nice but not a big deal by any means.
[Android Apps and Games] excedio:
I keep trying to send you a private message, but it's not working. So here goes.

Hi There, I might have a solution for you with this. I currently use goo.gl for my URL shortener. Among their features is instant QR Code creation. All you have to do is type in the URL and then once it's created click Details and the QR Code is there.

The way that I link to an App in the Market is by using this URL:

market.android.com/search?q=[insert app/publisher name]

So for example, clockr would be:

market.android.com/search?q=clockr (This will produce more than just clockr)

or

market.android.com/search?q=zehro (This will search for all apps with your name as the publisher)

I hope this helps. :)
[Android Apps and Games] warri:
+1 and background select (like in the original ScreenShot.. we want black background w/ Transparent !)
[Android Apps and Games] wallla:
Right. Additionally you can explicitely got to an app by searching for the package name. In this case this would be

market://search?q=pname:com.zehro.android.clockr

There are a lot of QR-Code generators out there. For examle here:

http://goqr.me/

So here would be your Code:

Link:

http://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data=market%3A%2F%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dpname%3Acom.zehro.android.clockr&size=200x200

By the way:

Thanks for this widget! I really love the minimal style.

Would be great if in the future there would be a little settings menu where e.g. the text color could be chosen, instead of having to download a modded version.
[Android Apps and Games] exadeci:
Nice, what is the name of your launcher ?? Really nice photo too.

[Android Apps and Games] peterocc:
My only complaint is that it doesnt update in real-time. Dater is a great idea as well and I hope you can make something similar to this.
[Android Apps and Games] WebKaiser:
This is a GREAT app! +1! Now what would be great is a date one just like it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] meero:
Excellent effort, Keep it up mate! love u and ur work! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] booyou:
Dater and Clockr in one

Just 1 widget where you can check date on or off would be better than an extra widget, imo.

That way you can also play with the position of the date vs the time, put them right underneath each other, or slightly overlapping each other etc.

Just my thoughts.

Nice widget!
[Android Apps and Games] splitfinity:
This is pretty much a copy of the Tajm app isnt it? Been useing that for quite a while, i know many people here have too.

Edit: My bad, forgot Tajm list it like "five minutes to 8am" instead of "7:55"

I actually like this better.

Sorry to be a buzzkill
[Android Apps and Games] exadeci:
Yeah it's looks like but Tajm is really crappy I mean icons are ugly and the clock show is too small and doesn't fit

This one looks like an improved version without for now text color and background but it's just a matter of time
[Android Apps and Games] mikebeecham:
Hi mate...

First to say, WELL DONE! I love what you've done, as it pretty exactly matches my vision for a text based clock that I posted a couple of weeks ago. Good job!

I've downloaded and like it...I have a couple of questions:

1) I know that it's already been discussed, but what are the chances of having the clock update in real-time? I'm confused as to why you would be concerned about battery life, when all other text clocks are ok in this area... I wouldn't worry about it to be honest, as I think battery use would be almost negligible!

2) In your original post, (the screen with the red leaf on it) your clock has a transparent background behind the clock. I have been looking for something like for a while now (full width background behind clock), but when I download, there is only the clock with no background.

Can you advise how I get the background visible on the clock please?

All in all well done. I like the fact that it so clearly matches the mocks that I posted some time back, and it's great to see the clock taking shape!

Regards

[Android Apps and Games] adavisme:
One more for Clockr and Dater in one widget with options. An option to link to the clock app would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] MillyMoo106:
latest update (maybe removing and readding as well) means no more time-sticking for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
I'll have to look into it. I'm not really sure just yet how to fix this problem (but I'm sure I can figure it out). From what I can see, it is correctly receiving the BOOT_COMPLETED intent. So that part is ok, its just getting it to continue doing everything else it should normally do. If it does happen again, instead of removing the widget and re-adding it. Try turning the screen off (with the power button) and then turning it back on again. Let me know if this gets it going again.

Also, I have found some bugs in the regular version of Clockr that nobody has picked up on yet. I'll be working on a fix for these tomorrow as well as some the other new changes I want to implement.

I had my sister's birthday last night and going out again tonight, so no new updates just yet. I guess that it has been a good chance to let the new versions settle in. Sometimes if I update too frequently, bugs don't appear right away and then a few revisions later a bug appears that was caused by a change made a few revisions prior. Then I end up dumbfounded by how the latest update could have caused such a bug. :P

I've also finally setup an SVN, so I'll be able to track my changes a lot more easily. I should have done it a long time ago, but its better late than never right?
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
As far as I know, the default font is "Droid Sans".
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
Mine's been stuck since my earlier posting today. I can get it to update to the current time by either resizing the widget in LauncherPro, or changing from landscape to portrait (or back). But the time only updates the the time when I do that and then remains stuck at that new time. I haven't removed and re-added the widget yet (just been lazy).

Tried turning the screen off (with the power button) and then back on. No change.

Will keep you updated.
[Android Apps and Games] r@nd0m:
Not picking on the dev... But this is a pretty active thread :)

Is it just me or do "ALL" clock widgets mess around with the sound quality when playing music making it skip/pop/jump/crackle???

I have tried so many combinations of different clock widgets and music players but they never seem to play nicely together. I have only noticed one widget that I have used since day 1 that doesn't seem to do this, which is not a clock only widget.

If I use a clock only widget it just causes me grief when listening to music and it is the only thing that I have narrowed it down to.

**Sorry if this is off topic in anyway...
[Android Apps and Games] sometimestephen:
The only thing I could recommend and love for the widget is to have the ability to edit the RGB colors by number. Other than that everything is fantastic!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] |flyte|:
Plan to open up the svn? Open source your widget?
[Android Apps and Games] xero2002:
First of all let me say great widget!

Thanks for taking your time to fix it, back when 0.3.6 was out. :)

I have a tiny request for the middle color, how about adding RGB values to the bars?

You know, not just the slider bars, but actual numbers. Makes it a lot easier. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Decimation:
Just out of curiosity, has there been any talk of a re-sizing option??? It would come in handy.
