[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
So what you're saying is that there's actually 15 new articles that are not inserted in the database at all ? And that happened recently or it's always been like that ?

The problem is not the size itself, but the WidgetProvider that handles the widget. There's one for the 4x1 widget and one for the 4x2. So if you have on your homescreen one instance of each, it shouldn't leak.

The leak problem comes from the fact that the android system sends broadcasts signals to update all widgets, and if you have two widgets with te same provider, they will be updated at the same time and somehow only one of my refreshing actions is applied to both widgets ... hence the leak problem ...

I will keep looking into it see if i can find a trick to solve this, but I already searched for a loooong time in vain ...

That sounds really good, I'll make it an option though. Like "Refresh on connection", how's that ? (personnally i prefer refreshing manually, that way if i just connect to check a quick email or something, it doesn't eat up my bandwith for nothing)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I didn't mean resizing the widget, I meant having one 4x1 instance and one 4x2 instance, they use different providers.
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
I guess that's what I mean. They show up all in google reader but in the widget just from 3 to 10 out of max 10, so sometimes old entries still show up, even when hitting refresh multiples times.

Bah, sorry my stupidity. Ok, different sized widget sized to the shape I want in works. Bet it'll work.

Hej, maybe you can create 4x1 widgets with different provider? *whistles*

I dont connect with 3G at all, so I just hop from wifi to wifi, and in my case, it would be nice if it could update as soon as it's connected ;)

*************

OK, the different sizes did fix the problem and I joined two feeds to keep them in the native size, but the problem of new feeds is still happening. Now just 4 new feeds are showing, the rest are old ones.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Just fixed the problem of the new feeds :) it now replaces the oldest entries as expected so you always get the latests 'maxItemPerFeed' (10,20..) articles of each feed source.

Thanks again for reporting it Darius,

Cheers mate

ps : can you show me a screenshot of your homescreen? I'm curious to see how you resize them
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Excellent! But... I really cant believe no one asked for this before. Or maybe my feeds are weird, who knows.

Anyway, glad I could help ;)

Why, with LauncherPro Plus, indeed! Now if you ask for the layout I ended using a 4x2 with two feeds sources and a 4x1 with one feed source. Before I had 3 4x1, one source each.

PS: Maybe we should switch to the other thread of this widget? I got lost which one is the main one.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I know you resize them with launcher pro but i wondered why you need to resize them, is ir for a 5 col homescreen?

Yeah let's move to the other thread, will be easier to keep up to date.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] Racle90:
Any reason why minimal reader cannot import any feed on my server?

trying import http://racle.dy.fi/tk11p/rssa.xml this feed to minimal reader, but cannot get that working, also wordpress feed doesn't work on same server.. any idea?

EDIT: logcat if this helps http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=uHY76qke
[Android Apps and Games] SayWhat10:
Edit. Please delete reply
[Android Apps and Games] Stalte:
I was literally staring at the RSS icon. Wow I have worked way to hard today. Thanks

EDIT: Last dumb Question where did you get the weather Widget???
[Android Apps and Games] qubanaso:
Promising

looks nice but i cant add some feeds for some reason when i try adding cnn top stories for example it says submitted feed is not valid, other than that all i see that needs work is the font color n refresh time
[Android Apps and Games] xXG4Xx:
what is the weather widwet of the first screenshot..?
[Android Apps and Games] DrededStar87:
espn, droiddog and xda feeds on my phone, thank you sir :)
[Android Apps and Games] sancho1234:
Hi Joenrv!

This is a good work! :) Thank you!

Your widget can't read this Feedburner RSS format: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/SanchoBlogja

Can you add it?
[Android Apps and Games] Aanze:
Nice !!!

And like the others, what is the name of your weather widget ??
[Android Apps and Games] c4pt0n:
yeah looks like an great app. whats the weather widget? and the wallpaper?
[Android Apps and Games] Kiki_B:
Nice

Just what I was looking for. Thx :)

It would be nice if we can edit the settings once the widget is added.

When I add Frandroid.com RSS feeds, the title of the feeds is not the title of website the RSS Feeds but the title of the last article.

For those who are looking for the weather widget, I think it's beautiful widget.

For those who can't add a feedburner RSS, try adding ?format=xml at the end of the URL.
[Android Apps and Games] kgulti:
hey looks really great... can you tell us what clock and weather widget you use on your device?

greets
[Android Apps and Games] onesolo:
Wow, this widget is very cool!!!

Please, please, add a way to import opml file, please!!! and then one be able to choose the rss to display...
[Android Apps and Games] cinnak:
Doesn't matter. I tried on my own feed, and i had to deactivate SmartFeed and set Convert Format Burner to RSS 2.0
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Ok guys i've finished the next version of the widget last night, adding black theme and auto refresh plus several bugfixes. Just testing it while at work today, I'll upload it tonight as it working marvelously ;)

I'll look into the feeds that u mentionned that can't be read but the new version should fix that too.

For those who asked the weather widget is Beautiful widgets with flat white theme.

Stay tuned for the new version early tonight!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
The settings can be accessed anytime by touching the left edge of the widget.

As for the Frandroid feed (one of my favourites btw, and yes I'm french) , it works perfect for me and even better with the new version coming up tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Try with this http://feeds.feedburner.com/absolutepunknet?format=xml

That should work.

Same thing, try : http://feeds.feedburner.com/SanchoBlogja?format=xml
[Android Apps and Games] meilstone:
i connot find that weather and clock widget.

can someone post the exact name of them?
[Android Apps and Games] Cunione:
Is it possible to import OMPL or XML files ?

Should be easier for adding 20 feeds...:D
[Android Apps and Games] Kiki_B:
The weather widget is :"Beautiful widgets"

The clock widget is : "SiMi Clock Widget"

Have fun !
[Android Apps and Games] Kiki_B:
My fault, I didn't see the message about the settings accessible by clicking in the left side of the widgets. Good to see that Frandroid is one of your favorite, it's mine too.

As somebody pointed out, would it be possible to have the widget available in different size ?

I'm waiting for trying the new version.
[Android Apps and Games] superdioz:
i'm looking forward to downloading it! :)

are you thinking about make it multilanguage?

if yes i can translate in italian, let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] Deathalo:
Great app man, looks great with your clock and weather widgets (I got them now). I like your screen so much though, what wallpaper and launcher pro theme is that? And if you don't mind, what rom are you using? Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks!

Im using ADW launcher with a Gingerbread theme (paid for it but was worth it, got tons of icons) and Im on a galaxy s with darky's excellent rom!

As for the wallpaper : here you go :)

Oh i like this one too, same style and goes well with my widgets ;)

On my way home to upload new version for you guys, im loving my new black theme!!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
There it is folks, my very first application pushed to the market ! Thanks to your feedback and hard work, i think i produced a very usable and beautiful RSS widget !

Go get it in the market and leave a comment if you like it !

ps: if u have the beta version installed, i advise you to delete it first to avoid any problems.
[Android Apps and Games] clcardio71:
Widget per feed?

I am still learning this widget, but i like it so far. I am wondering if you have to have a widget per feed because I had to rss urls to one widget and it would only show me one of the feeds.

proper way to handle this?

thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
actually the best way to use it is to add a single widget to your homescreen and add all the feeds you want into it.

As a minimal widget i didn't like the idea of adding it several times on a screen. One is enough.
[Android Apps and Games] clcardio71:
I did try that, and I thought it was giving me 9 out of 10 from one feed, and 1 (at the top, like number 1 position) of the other feed. I will keep playing though.

I just deleted apk and got new one from market, and I wanted to say the only thing I would change about this if i could, is that the widget stretches long ways when the home screen is landscape. As of now, on my phone, it stays the same length either way. A stretch would also give more text.

good work and thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks for the feedback i actually didnt think of it as i always had my homescreen locked in portrait mode :D

I'll fix that in next version
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Good idea ! I'll look into it for the next version
[Android Apps and Games] powerbar2:
Short piece of information: can't install it on Desire 2.2 because of too less memory (at least the warning says so).

Actually I have 16MB internal storage left and more than 1GB on my card. Should be enough for an application that is 75kB...
[Android Apps and Games] JoaoVr:
Is there any appbrain link?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hmm the app + database with 10 feeds don't exceed 300kB on my phone, weird
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
You just added autoscroll feature to the next version :)

As for the colors, i wont let full colour customizations but i have a few theme ideas with custom transparency
[Android Apps and Games] superdioz:
just downloaded from here:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jv.cleanwidgets

great release, much better than the previous release!

it will be great if it will keep an history of rss links so i shouldnt search and copy every time i want re-add the widget.

keep going and congratulation for your first android market app! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] semperlux:
This is neat and it looks great on my desktop. But you might want to specify what "type" or RSS feeds it will bring in. None of the Atom feeds are accepted and those are feeds as well. The only feeds I've had any success with have an XML extension.

Otherwise nice job though.
[Android Apps and Games] TheKoomba2010:
weather widget

whats that weather widget in your pic
[Android Apps and Games] lamensterms:
its Beautiful widgets with flat white theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Fonts

Hey by the way did u try the widget with different fonts? It really changes the whole aspect of the widget (it's not always readable thought :p) and some of them look really cool!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I don't think Atom feeds parsing would be too hard to implement, I'll add it to the TODO list for next version, Thank you for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] Kiki_B:
Bug ?

I got the same problem with the new version. :(

Instead of having "Frandroid" in the feeds name, I have the title of a previous article.

I put a screenshot.

Do I miss something ?

Do you have the same problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
That is really odd, i had the Frandroid feed since the beginning of my devs and never had that problem, what URL did you use ? was it www.frandroid.com/feed ? And did you delete the beta version before installing the new one?
[Android Apps and Games] Kiki_B:
Now it works !

The URL I use was feeds.feedburner.com/Frandroid?format=xml

Thanks :)

Maybe it would be nice if we can customize the feeds title.
[Android Apps and Games] CTR01:
Good stuff!

Like the simple clean look just like a minimalist app/widget should be!
[Android Apps and Games] Cocotus:
Great App, perfect for my lockscreen! :) What I miss in all those feed apps nowadays is some newsflash function. I can't find any app which supports some automatic news switching (with marquee text from left to right or some other automatic switch). Also I would love to see support for automatic circling through news in a specific intervall. Would be a nice effect I think. Of course thats just my ideas, app is looking good so far!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks guys, glad you like it. The auto circling is on my todo list ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lukers:
Hello how to add rss from www.pocketnow.com?, thanks.

because http://feeds.feedburner.com/pocketnow?format=xml or http://feeds.feedburner.com/pocketnow

is not working:(
[Android Apps and Games] early81:
which clock and meteo widget are that?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Ok I just looked into that and it seems that you can't add the feed because it crashes when parsing a news which contains the '£' character, not encoded ! It should be £ ... I know how to fix that though, I'll implement the fix on next version. Thanks for the feedback
[Android Apps and Games] Macelangelo77:
Great work, I really love it! Thanks for your effort.

In addition to the other feature requests I would like to add these:

* Ability to change the alignment to center and left

* Ability to hide the arrows (or change the appearance by selecting a theme or ' None')

* Ability to hide the time stamp

I read you already added auto scroll to the list, which would be great. May I suggest two settings related to auto scroll?

* Adjustable scroll speed

* Adjustable pause (to freeze the message during x milliseconds)

Looking forward to your next release!

Sincerely,

Mac
[Android Apps and Games] Clancya:
I really like the look of this RSS widget. Is there any way to link to a Google Reader account?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thank you Mac, those are great ideas !

I'm loving everyone of them, adding them to my ToDo List right away !

appreciate your contribution :)

Cheers

I had that in mind since the beginning of my devs, but i decided to keep it simple for the firts versions.

I think i saw an unofficial API somewhere, I'll look into it. That is definetly something i want to implement.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
just added Atom1.0 feed support ! that was an important one to get off the list :)

One step closer too google reader import!
[Android Apps and Games] impalerware:
This might be a noob question but how do I make it show more than one feed without adding more widgets? Is there a way to resize the widget somewhere? I currently have 3 feeds setup but only the first one shows up in a 4x1 widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
For now the best way to use the widget is to add several feeds on the same widget. That will merge all your feeds together and show them to you classified by published date (recents first). Just scroll down with the down arrow to see the titles from the different feeds. If only one feed seems to show its because it has a lot of recent publications compared to the other feeds you added.

I'm adding support for several widgets this weekend for v1.1 because it doesnt work properly right now. just stick to one widget in the meantime.
[Android Apps and Games] impalerware:
Oh I see! The slashdot rss isn't showing up for me at all for some reason. I added another one and you are right they just show up on the list.

Thanks and great app btw.
[Android Apps and Games] qubanaso:
Only one

hey guys i can only add one kind of feed whats up with that when i try addin xda even though i have espn set up it overrides the first widget and both become xda after addin trying the second
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
As I said, multiple widgets is not working properly in this version, stick with one widget and add all your feeds in the same one until i fix it, should be fixed for the next version this week end :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks for the feedback, the Slashdot feed is in format RDF (or RSS 1.0) which is outdated ! can't believe they didn't upgrade it ... I don't think it's worth implementing support for that format, it's barely used anymore
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
v1.1 published on the market (dont forget to uninstall previous version), time to go to sleeeep ! :D

The code is minimal ( ;) ) and super clean now, it's ready to be expanded with new features ! Expect big changes for next week :)
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
hi,

first of all thanks for this really nice app. i love it...i installed the new version (1.1) today and the app is running really nice. There is only I small problem with showing the age of the feeds. It shows for example 360247 hours and 25 min. ago. If tried this with two different feeds. Both the same. Maybe it depends on the feed.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hi, glad you like it. What are the feeds urls that have a date error? Its probably an easy thing to fix
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi, I send you the feed with a private message. I have not enough posts to post links ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Got it :) I see where the problem is, the date format used is not standard which is quite annoying... Hopefully i will have all of them covered by next version !

If you see any other feeds who cause problems, send the URL by PM so that i can add support for it in next version.

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Nice you found the problem. I tried a few other ones. These were all working normal. What makes me laughing is that Heise is a big IT journal which is common for standards and security :) But if I find more I will send you the urls. Thank you for working on this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
The heise feed problem is fixed, now working on the sports one, its an RDF format, its quite old but it shouldn't take too long supporting that format as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
There you go, both feeds format parsing fixed.

The next version will support all Atom1.0 (hopefully) and RTF feeds as well thanks to you sir ! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Here's a little preview in landscape mode with the an Atom1.0 feed and an RTF ;)
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Looks really cool. And I can see the corrected dates :D I have to sav once more thank you for this cool app.

If you ever think about making translations in the widget than do not hesitate to contact me for german translations.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks I'll contact you when i need it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] upss16:
great

working and looking gr8 ,
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey guys i was thinking, it would be great if you could post screenshots on the way you display the widget(s) on your screen, I'm curious to see what wallpaper / font / other widgets around you use?

It would help me improve the widget appearence, as I'm thinking of allowing more visual customizations in the future.

So go ahead and show me that homescreen! :D

I'll start with mine, this is how I display my widget at the moment (see attached screenshot)

How about you guys?
[Android Apps and Games] littlewhitedog:
Hello guys,

I try to read the rss feed from the website www.lesnumeriques.com which has this url:

http://www.lesnumeriques.com/rss.xml

But minimal rss tells me it is not a valid rss feed. Any idea why?

Cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
That is strange, the feed looks correct and its in RSS 2.0 format so it should work. I'll look it up tonight, i need my logs to see what's happening ;)

Thanks for pointing that out
[Android Apps and Games] benbine:
Hi,

Nice app, I've been wainting for this for a long time !

Some rss feeds are not accepted though :

feeds.feedburner.com/nofrag_com

3w.pcinpact.com/include/news.xml

And with the automatic update, I've got some "no internet connection" overlay messages every 5 minutes when i'm offline, even if the update delay is set on 2 hours.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Just like the "Les Numériques" feed, these are encoded as ISO-8859-1 instead of the most standard UTF-8 which makes my parser crash at the first special character like 'é' ...

Working on the fix tonight, you'll hear from me when it's fixed :)

Oh and the "no internet connection" only comes up when refreshing manually (up button when u have reached the most recent item) . That's probably what you're doing?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Ok guys, I got the ISO encoded feeds working :D

That means that the following feeds :

www.lesnumeriques.com/rss.xml

feeds.feedburner.com/nofrag_com

3w.pcinpact.com/include/news.xml

... and many more european feeds

can be added now !

Version 1.2 coming soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] benbine:
No, I just set the auto refreshing on 2 hours, and when I disable the data connection, it pops up every 5 minutes with the message, even if I'm watching a movie.

Many thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I cut my internet connection most of the day and never had that problem.

I'll see if i can reproduce it but it seems strange as i set up that message to show up only on manual refresh action.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi, as nobody once to start with screenshots this is my current screen which I'm using at the moment. It's not finished but you can see how nice the widget can be. For me it is almost perfect. But more skinning options (maybe fonts, colors, buttons) are always welcome :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks Chris! Its looking good! Even better when i push the new version which will fix that ugly time stamp ;)

The new version will have more visual settings too. Im planning to publish it this weekend, my gf is going away for three days so i can dedicate full time on this ;)

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] Kiki_B:

You're welcome !

HI ,

Nice work !

Can you tell me what is the theme are u using ? and what's the name of the weather widget ?? :)

thnx.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
SPOILER ALERT!! Lol
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
My theme is gingerbread nexus theme for adw launcher, and my weather widget is Beautiful widgets with flat white theme :)

Enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi,

first thanks to your girlfriend that she goes away and you have a lot of time for the new version. And I'm sure I will love the new version.

I have tried today a feed from google:

http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&topic=s&output=atom

This one lets crash the widget (com.jv.cleanwidgets)

I also tried the xda feed. There are sometimes interesting characters (&#8230 for example). You can see it int the "Need a HTC device..." feed today.

And if you have more than one feed and you delete one than the feeds are still in the widget. But maybe this has to do with the wrong date feeds.

Cheers Chris
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
She says you're welcome ;)

All the problems mentioned are already fixed in the version i have at home. Just need a few more features and test everything for the big update!
