Just uploaded a new dev version with capability to show multi day events on every day they occur (for date row style). I don't think it plays to nicely with "event look behind".

How does the rest of the function work for you guys?

Turn it on in settings->event and task settings->multiday on each day

EDIT: New features viewable in this screenshot
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Anybody interested in tested my new version (will be release to market on Monday if no one finds any major bugs).

Recently added: Contacts birthdays and Show calendar can be any app.

Grab it from my website: www.androidagendawidget.com/development
[Android Apps and Games] matiasguerra:
Very nice app, thank you for sharing!
[Android Apps and Games] n99hockey:
Just noticed something on both my Xoom and Incredible. While the time is correct on my devices and items were created at the correct time on Google Calendar, they show one hour later than they are supposed to be. Almost as if they aren't picking up daylight savings time.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Does adjusting the row style affect this?
[Android Apps and Games] n99hockey:
Where do I locate that?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
In the settings, Appearance->row style
[Android Apps and Games] :
It would be nice if the widget could also show week number in the header!
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
You can do this, if you are using the free version the preference is in appearance->date...

Here you just need to enable "adc current date format" and put a w in "current date format"

:D
[Android Apps and Games] :
I just realized that now, though I've played a little around with that setting once..

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jjdavola:
This looks great!!! :)

Is there a way to increase the font size a tiny bit more and allow you to open a different calendar than the standard Android calendar when you click on an item? :o
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Font improvements are coming soon (everything will be customizable!).

The item click depends on the application you are trying to get to, what are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Any brave souls want to test the new dev version for me?

http://www.androidagendawidget.com/development

I have merged a lot of the code between this app and Quick Agenda, I would like to make sure it does not break anything on any devices/the multitude of config options available. In particular:

After installation of the dev version, do you calendars/events show without changing preferences?

Do all the event, add, settings etc clicks work as expected?

Can you still select calendars for each of your widgets independently?

Can you access the Data Sources menu group?

If you test it, please reply back if A-OK or send me some logs etc :)

(Sorry about the size, I have temporarily included the iCal4j library, I will ditch this before market release)
[Android Apps and Games] jjdavola:
:eek: That was a blazing quick response. :eek:

That sounds great.

I guess it was more of a generic question since I haven't found my perfect calendar app yet. So when I click on an appointment in your widget is there a way to open the appointment in say CalenGoo, Touch Calendar or Business Calendar? FYI those are just examples since I haven't fully tried them yet.

Thanks again for the quick response!
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Depends on the app. I use the "standard" event mimetype for clicks, so providing your chosen app receives these it will askyou which app you asnt to open the event with

Business calendar does for view actions, i think calengoo does as well.
[Android Apps and Games] jjdavola:
How would one do that?:o
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Install business calendar free then click an event in afenda widget. A dialog should show allowing you to choose which app to use for event clicks.

Any app with the correct mimetype will show in this list.
[Android Apps and Games] jjdavola:
Oh. Thanks for teaching the n00b. I'll try that soon.
[Android Apps and Games] DurhamHusker:
rofl, thanks for all your work. This widget is wonderful ... it's the only one I've kept using through every update to my Samsung Epic.

Using the Plus version, I have "Show calendar click" in settings set to open Business Calendar. Is it possible to have Business Calendar open to the week (my default view setting in that calendar) containing the date on the date row that was clicked on in Agenda Widget?

In other words: If I scroll down a few weeks in the widget and then click on a future date can the calendar be made to open to a view that contains the future date I clicked on?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
G'day,

Sorry for the slow reply.

Not yet. I recently "dumbed down" the calendar click logic so it would be less prone to errors. Unfortunately this also stops cool click actions like what you want from being possible, for now.

I have an idea how to make it ultimately awesome, just need time...!

New dev version of AW with various bug fixes and Due Today support available from here my website: http://www.androidagendawidget.com/development

Let me know if you have any upgrade issues?
[Android Apps and Games] n99hockey:
I might have asked this but cant remember, any word on Honeycomb 3.1 support for re-sizable widgets?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
This is in the dev version which should be on market later today :)
[Android Apps and Games] n99hockey:
Wow yea it does!

Awesome, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] frigit:
Best Calendar program for the Android.

Seems to have an issue with the Date Icon (row style) when you have an entry that occurs over a few days, it only puts the entry in the first day. It works OK when the row style is Date Row.

The multiday on each day is ticked.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
I have not implemented the "multi day on each day" for inline or date icon modes yet. The logic is a little different for this functionality, i will investigate it soon and add it if possible.
[Android Apps and Games] jambamkin:
Hello, I've been moving between CyanogenMod and MIUI recently and find that on MIUI the day string is always shortened even when set to EEEE.

What I mean is I want it to read "Monday:" but I only get "Mon:" is this a known issue with certain ROMS?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Agenda Widget uses the DateFormat class http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/DateFormat.html which I think handles the the format patterns differently depending locale files in the ROM. If MUIU developers have culled or duplicated some of the locale files it could cause strange behaviour like what you are experiencing. Not much I can do about this unfortunately :s
[Android Apps and Games] jambamkin:
Fair enough, I'll look into it, perhaps it can be fixed in the translation packs.

Although as a temp fix is there a method to add "day" by default to each string without it being converted into date, a, year?

I realise wedday will look odd but if there was already a way to append text it would be a workaround.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
I'm not sure if it is a translation thing or a missing class file thing (I didn't research it much, but a similar problem occurred when the HTC Desire updated to Froyo, they ditched a lot of class files and the date formatter only spat out numbers!)

You could try adding the rest of your string into the advanced format field but I don't think it will work. At the moment I am a bit to busy to add something specific for this case.

Let me know how you go with the MUIU stuff?
[Android Apps and Games] jambamkin:
I spoke to a developer who works on a MIUI specific modification which also uses the dateformat class and when I use EEEE on his modification it gives a full weekday. I asked if there is a special case for MIUI but he said not.

I understand this issue belongs at the bottom of your todo list i just thought I'd update you with my investigations :)
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Thanks for the update.

Strange situation, can you email me and I will send you a small application to test this further? roflharrison at gmail
[Android Apps and Games] MrAtommyk:
Has anyone got the widget working in miui?

The widget is there but only shows the buttons, no calender items are showing, i tried refreshing several times and also switched to some of the default layouts.

There must be a simple solution but i'm puzzled at the moment. :confused:

Edit: disabling scrolling in the widget fixes the problem, events are now showing.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Lots of people :)

As you say, default launcher in miui doesn't support scrolling :(

Is there a way to get birthdays to be able to load the contact's people profile when tapped? Like so I can send a text or something? Or maybe just link it directly to a new text to them?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Not at the moment but this is sort of planned ("sort of" in so much as I need time to implement it even though the implementation is fairly trivial :P).

Add the request to http://agendawidget.uservoice.com/ so I don't forget about it?
[Android Apps and Games] Marvi70:
I have a problem with agenda widget:

I defined two gmail-accounts on my phone. Both accounts have some calendars. In both accounts there is a calendar named as "family".

In the agenda widget i want only one of the "family" calendards.

But this is not possible... when i select one the other "family" calendar is selected too (same with deselect).

Could somebody reproduce this?

Thanks for your support

Marvi70
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
This is a limitation of Agenda Widget that I will fix when I add color overrides for calendars. Basically at the moment it doesn't like duplicate calendar names so you can modify one of the "family" calendar names as a workaround to me fixing the bug.

[Android Apps and Games] ronnbon:
Hi,

like your app very much.

The only thing I really, really miss is using custom fonts... Is there a way to make that possible?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
I would like to do this! Not sure how though...

Do you know what the common downloadable font packages are (is there one?). For example ADW has a lot of font packages...
[Android Apps and Games] ronnbon:
Wouldn't it be easiest to create an folder for fonts where people could put in there own fonts or like at chronotopia to let the app import fonts from the sdcard?

I am no developer I have no idea how to implement this- maybe knoxcoder from chronotopia could help you?

That would be soo great- thank you for trying it!
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Maybe, I haven't worked with fonts on Android before so I have no idea :P

Will investigate, might not be a bad idea for you to add this request to uservoice so I don't forget it (agendawidget.uservoice.com) :)
[Android Apps and Games] ronnbon:
okay, made a suited suggestion there.

Is there any way to change birthdays to show the month, not the day? So like "Oct 17: Birthday: Me (23)" instead of "Tue, 17: Birthday: Me (23)".
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
This is a bug, the birthday date should respect the date format settings...

Follow the bug here, I will fix it for the next release http://code.google.com/p/android-agenda-widget/issues/detail?id=207
[Android Apps and Games] m.ark:
Ah thank you. Any idea how far out that is? If so, I'd love to donate to help out.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Should be able to start fixing bugs by the end of this week, so if nothing goes wrong this should be in a dev version next week sometime?

Next market release is planned for sometime near end of the month.

Is there any way for sports calendars to show up? I think its a Google limitation?

Also, maybe its my Rom but all calendar widget sizes.show even though I've opted to show only 2.

I paid for the Plus and I've loved it since day 1!! Thanks Rofl
[Android Apps and Games] Krekker:
I've discovered your app today and as someone feared earlier in this thread I did get lost in the settings. Specifically, I can not figure out how to set up shortcuts to the stock calendar app. The wiki on your site is giving a 404, so I couldn't find anything there.

I want the upper toolbar to launch calendar in standard mode (as if I were opening it from my app drawer), the day rows to open the day view and the events to open the event detail view. What settings should I change? Whatever I have tried I always get the wrong page or fc of either widget or calendar app.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
I killed the wiki because it was out of date, will be replacing it with something better instructions once I nail down the new setting screen layout.

Adjust the setting "calendar click application" in behavior and choose ".LaunchActivity" (depending on your phone the activity name might be different)

This will only work with some calendar applications because they do not all support the "standard" calendar click filter. This is also not override-able so it will should just open the calendar click applications main screen. If you use the default calendar application on stock Android it will open to the Agenda for that day...

As above, this will only open your chosen application if the receiving application (e.g. Business calendar) has implemented the "standard" calendar click filter in their app.

For the 2nd and 3rd queries, their is no easy solution. Originally I was adding support for every application but this became tedious as most of them don't allow deep linking anyway. I have something in mind for this in the future but it will still not be as good as the receiving app adding support for calendar clicks in their app.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
What application are you trying to use?
[Android Apps and Games] byblos14:
Outlook sync

Hi.

I am quite new to android world coming from WM6 I own now a HTC Desire S .

I am looking for an agenda that can syncronize events and tasks with outlook 2007, thru HTC sync or another way.

Can your app do this?

All the agenda I saw can sync with google calendar or when I lauch HTC sync, it does not sync anything.

Thank you in advance.

Paolo :)
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Agenda Widget shows events from your calendars on the device on the homescreen.

Android should have an exchange sync function built in, for something more advanced for events you could try Touchdown.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
Will be possible in new version to have the option instead of 'No Events' to display nothing? :)
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Yep, I added this function today. It is in the dev version, but untested :P

Also, the dev version could be a little erratic, if you are brave please install it and let me know about all the bugs!

http://www.androidagendawidget.com/development
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
If I find some free time for testing, I'm going to install it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Great!

There is a lot of cool stuff in there, more coming soon (gridview is WIP!). Please provide some feedback on the new settings layout.
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
OMG!! This is exactly what I have been looking for! I cant wait to try it out. One small request for the dev: please take a look at Simple Calendar Widget. I think this is one of the best looking widgets out there...clean and classy looking. Perhaps you can take some design ideas from it.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Here is the new default theme I have been working on... Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Hello. May I suggest a few things;

Add some sort of icons in front of tasks to distinguish them from calendar events

Add more font size options

Add ability to change calendar event text order (I.e. event, date, location, etc)

I will play around with your widget more and report back.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Thanks for the feedback :)

In the plus version, you can adjust the color bullets by event type (e.g. task, overdue task, multi day event etc)

I assume you are using scrolling, and is not possible to have more sizes in the current scrolling API used on LP, ADW, Go Launcher etc, but it will be (is) possible in Icecream Sandwich/Honeycomb.

Static widgets have a huge range of font sizes.

I plan on doing this at some point
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
I think committed bullets still do not adequately distinguish tasks from calendar events. What about using a little square icon in front of tasks? This is a fairly universal way to denote tasksany chance of showing week number in the date area?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
I think that was supposed to read "colored"? Either way, you can change the shape of the color bullets using the setting I mentioned (up triangle, down triangle, square, short rectangle, thick rectangle, circle) :P

If you adjust the date format with the advanced date format tool you should be able to use "w" for week number.
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Would you be able to add a widget that shows the next upcoming event? I'm thinking of a text only one liner. For example it would show

Wed Oct 26 - Buy beers for Halloween party:eek:

I want to add this one line widget to my WidgetLocker lockscreen and I'm sure a lot of others would love to have that available as well
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Try Quick Agenda: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.everybodyallthetime.android.quickagenda
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Touche;) I'm an Agenda Widget Plus User, just didn't want to install another app as I'm running low on space :p Quick Agenda looks great though :)
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Hehe, fair enough.

I don't think I will add this stuff to AW, it's already go too many settings!
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
lol you're telling me:eek: Love it though! Keep up the great dev work. It's one apps I really can't go without :)
[Android Apps and Games] m.ark:
Okay, so I uninstalled the market app and tried the dev version. There are a few bugs that I can see.

1. Birthdays aren't showing up even though I have enabled them in the settings. I did have one show up, but it was in my calendar, not contacts. Hopefully this is just human error, but nothing has fixed it yet.

2. I can't get rid of the side buttons. The options don't turn them off, and nothing else seems to work.

3. When I try to have a one-line listing, it won't truncate the event. I now have "6:00pm - 8:50pm: Consumer Behavior" on one line and "Exam" on another. It would be fine if "Exam" lined up with its parent line, but it doesn't: it lines up with the date.

Other than that, it looks good so far. Thanks for the awesome app, rofl.
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
@rolfharrison: have you considered offering the option to have the event text and date/time/location text be different sizes? I prefer to use a 2 line event display and having the event on the first line and the date/time/location on the second at a smaller font makes the widget much easier to read. I also think it makes it look better too!
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Is there a way to put the "w" in parentheses? Ideally, I would like my dates to look like: 27 Oct (44) where "44" is the week number.

Also, I noticed that for all day events there is a ":" after the date and before the event but for regular timed events, t here is a ",". For sake of consistency, perhaps you can use just the :

More suggestions:

Any thoughts on revising the date icon? No offense, but to me it just doesnt look very elegant. I think simple text would look better.

Would it be possible to just show events and tasks for today? I seems that the smallest lookahead setting is 1 day. I just need info for today. If I want to see more days I will go into my main calendar app, Calengoo.

When I select an event, there is quite a delay before Calengoo is brought up. This delay occurs whether I choose to open Calengoo, edit the event, or just view the event.

It would be nice to be able to hide the right buttons yet still have that screen location activate and event (Uber button, settings, etc). The widget looks cleaner without the little rectangular "button" on the side.

Thats it for now.

By the way, you mentioned that a lot of the bullet settings are available in the paid app. I just wanted to verify that the bullets can be modified even in scrolling mode?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Limitation with scrolling. You get full control over this with a static widget :)
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
I know the date formatter allows some extra characters, does it work if you add them?

Does adjusting the date/time dividers help with this? It might be a bug.

I'm not sure which icon you are talking about? If you mean the icon on the left in date icon mode there are about 8 to choose from, would you prefer if it could be made invisible?

I'm working on a lot of the assets at the moment, I will take a look at the default date icon.

This is planned

I expect this lag will be on the Calengoo side, I send the prebuilt intent straight away (i.e. there almost no processing in Agenda Widget), have you experienced faster response with other apps? Let me know if you have, maybe scrolling is causing trouble...

This is possible, make them fully transparent in the settings :)

Yep, but they are sort of ugly at the moment due to stretching, I am trying to fix them in the next major release.
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Are you sure? With Simple Calendar Widget, I am able to have 2 different sizes fonts with scrolling. You should check it out. That app does a lot of nice things but it doesnt show tasks.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
It would be possible if each of the text elements was an independent textview (date, description, location etc) as you could apply a font size to each textview, rather than the whole row. I expect that is how they are doing it as it would also allow more font sizes.

At the moment all of the text formatting is done with html and the font size tags are lost by the launcher as it retrieves the data from AW.

I could possibly change (back) to using separate textviews per text element, but it won't be for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
Side note: I have a patch ready for the launchers that would allow this function, but I'm not sure if it will ever be used with the pending release of Icecream Sandwich. This functionality is possible in ICS :)
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
I tried adding parentheses but it didnt work. This was displaed "(w)"

Doesnt help. That is definitely a comma.

Yes, I am referring to the date icon on the right. For whatever reason to me, the icon doesnt look very elegant. I think you could get away with making the date a bit bigger, perhaps allowing it to take up several lines.

I rebooted and now the response is faster.

How? I looked all over the settings but didnt see where I can set it to be transparent. Do I need the paid version?
[Android Apps and Games] roflharrison:
OK, the (w) thing is something I can probably fix because its in my code.

Will try and fix the comma issue.

Can you take a screenshot of this icon?

The right button transparency is in the wrong spot at the moment (fixed in next version), I think in the market version it is in behavior->right buttons and there should be a right button transparency slider.
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Please see attached. I think the dev of this simple calendar widget did a great job of making a nice, clean, classy theme. I think it based off Simiclock widget.
