[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wmdirk:
Available in Google Market...

End December 2010 I released WMD-Weather Lite in the Android Market. This widget is based on the WMD-Weather widget I created earlier for the Windows Mobile UI Androkkid. Since then, I've been working on the full version of this weather app & widget, hoping to release it soon as a paid version. This one will extend the lite version, and combine ideas from two other Androkkid widgets I created: WMD-Clock and WMD-WorldClock.

The application features a weather application, showing the current conditions (weather icon, temp, short text, status icons), a 6-day forecast and details when a weather icon is clicked (see images below), including a radar image. Where available (US), the UV index and pollen information/air quality are available as well for today's details.

Multiple locations are supported, as well as 'My location' which is modified when you move, and just about any location on the planet can be added. By swiping left or right, the next location's info is displayed. When the current location is known (via GPS or network), it will be proposed when adding a location.

The application can be set to update automatically.

Please see my site to get the latest information on features (this post is not updated frequently).

Lanuages supported: English, Dutch, German, French, Norwegian, Hungarian

Currently, the application comes with 3 widgets:

Simple weather widget (2x1)

- shows the location,

- the current weather icon

- current temperature and real feel temperature

- next day forecast icon, min/max temperature

- optional background (choice of backgrounds)

- time last updated

- clicking on the widget will launch the app with the widget's location

Weather/Clock widget (4x1)

- the simple weather widget, combined with

- a clock, optionally showing the location's local time

- optionally, the next alarm

- optionally, the current date

- optional backgrounds (choice of backgrounds)

- choice of 5 clock digit styles

- optionally display the hour leading 0 (e.g. 01:00 instead of 1:00)

- optionally select an application to launch when the clock's digits are clicked

Advanced Weather/Clock widget (4x2)

- the Weather/Clock widget, combined with

- an additional row with forecasts for the main widget location and/or current weather info for other locations (including the location's time)

By using the location's time, the clock widget can be used to create a weather/world clock by adding multiple locations with their time to your Android home app (see the images below for an example).

Currently in development for the next version:

- downloadable digit styles and backgrounds

- reworked internals

- more languages: Spanish & Portuguese

Wish list:

- widgets functioning on all devices

- additional weather widget(s)

- screen to screen animation

- slide from day to day in the details screen

All resolutions should be supported, allthough for 320x200 devices, scrolling is required to see all information. And, depending on the screen's density and the launcher used, the widgets may not display correctly. Try out the lite version to verify everything is displayed correctly.

PS: the application is tested on small screen/low dpi resolutions via the emulator, for which the results are correct. However, on the HTC Wildfire the widgets are not rendered fully...

WMD-Weather contains more information, screenshots, version info and the barcode to install the application. The link and barcode for WMD-Weather Lite can be found there as well.

Any feedback - good or bad, bugs, ... - is appreciated!
