Hi,
Do you know any weather app that does not have running service?
Yes, weather forecast app that can pull data "manually" ...
No need periodic / interval update ...
Widget is not necessary either ...
Moved to Q&A BW, Fancy widget, and even the default news and weather app has this I believe
Most have these "features" and I don't really like that either. I've noticed that most of them will let you change the frequency that they pull info. Some down to 12 hours.
Fancy widget has lots of refresh options. One of them being to only refresh weather manually.
Thanks for all the suggestions. At the end, I ended up with (again) Beautiful Widget 1x1 (I already bought this when I use HTC Desire).
The reason that I want to find this kind of weather app, because I want to limit the number of running (background) services.
So, I replaced the Beautiful Widget Home widget with "simiClock" because it is simple, elegant and uses black background (save battery life).
simiClock has weather info as well ... But it does not have forecast.
That's why I was looking for weather app which can be activated (launched) when I press the simiClock weather.
But, it seems I cannot find one ... The one with update/interval can be controlled (I am not weather obsessive guy, so manual update is the best for me).
At the end, I am back with Beautiful widget weather 1x1 ... until I found a nice weather forecast app to launch from simiClock
I purchased the Weatherbug Elite. It has the options to turn off the background processing and only grab weather data when you run the app.
it's unfortunate, but i'm running into the same situation
i want to disable the back ground processing of the weather app that i like, but the app doesn't have such a feature/option
the app is supplied directly from The Weather Network, and it's very accurate, all the other apps that i've tried before are not so great
Try WeatherPro, best weather app imo
try Fancy widget... you'll love it! great app
Moxier World is by far the best I've found.
It updates either automatically or manually.
It also shows local time and weather in as many world locations as you need. It has 5 days forecast for each.

Try this out. It has an option to set update interval (or disable update entirely)

I would love to hear your comments!!!
Check out d'watchmaker website at (dwatchmaker.com).

Does it have "tap to open another application" feature?
I'm not sure about what you mean with "tap to open another application" but as a registred user, if you tap on a clock file link and you have d'watchmaker installed, d'watchmaker will open automatically and will show you the working clock.
Then you will have the option to save the clock in your collection to use in d'clock live or to use directly as a d'watchmaker widget.
It's like tapping on the widget and you can open your favorite alarm clock app. It would be great
Right now, if you tap on the widget the standard alarm will open (although you can change this beahaviour through preferences).
In next release you'll be able to input the application package name, so you will be able to open whatever application you like)
I've been playing around in the sdk for a while now and I'm not so good at programing or anything, but I did manage to make a few clock widgets that I would consider very nice looking (I'm somewhat decent at photoshop).
Now, I know how make an apk with the widget, and I'm pretty sure I know how to put multiple widgets in a single apk (although I haven't tried yet)
I have noticed that some apps that have more than one widget (like google voice, or twitter) will say "(2 widgets)" underneath the name and allow me to choose which one I want after click the name.
How would I implement this in my own app?
summary:
I want to create a pack of clocks (4 clocks). on the widget menu it'll be called "clock pack" (I haven't thought of the name yet) and when you click on that it'll give you a choice of which clock you want, each clock with a unique name and possible a unique icon; would it be possible to give each a unique icon?
thank you in advance
Did you ever get an answer to this? I have been attempting to include several clock faces with my clock widget also but can not come up with any workable solutions to allow the user to select the clock face.
Hello,
I have developed a live wallpapers with animated digital clocks (like htc style, and other styles), some customization :
- select location for forecast weather (may be simple current location);
- animated weather icons at clocks;
- select static background wallpaper;
- use animated effects at background like neutron links;
- colors and transparency at elements;
- show forecasts with animated effect show and hide (by clickind on current weather icon);
- show external data: battery level, cpu temp, next alarm;
- show humidity, wind, current, minimum and maximum weather temp;
- translated at many languages.
Please, invite you to become acquainted with that. Suggestions please send to my email.
Application at market:

I have a wildfire , and there's no flip clock in the official rom in it , so i searched xda and found a zip file that can be flashed to make the clock flip , it didn't work neither in the official froyo or the cyanogen mode , it was as a widget ..
your idea to make the clock as a wallpaper is great
i think that the official flip clock of htc has a better skin , so i suggest you to mix that style with your beautiful idea ?
Thanks again
P.S : If you can post an apk file for the clock , it would be better , because i can't access the market
I attach trial version. Upload new version.
Thanks a lot , tested on my phone and works great , it has a lot of options and customizations for the user , would put the full version on my to-get apps list.
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App

You beat me to it. I was going to develop the exact same app, but I had not gotten a chance to look into it.
One suggestion is to open the clock app when you touch the clock and the weather app when you touch the whether (Like the HTC widget). I don't even know if it is possible to open an app through live wallpaper (again, I haven't gotten a chance to look into it), but it would be great if you could.
Nice app.
Hi all,
I have a very simple question :
I have an android app witch have an activity displaying a list of item from a category stored in the database. In this database there is many different categories, so my activity filter the selected category to show only item from this one in particular.
Is it possible to create programmaticaly as many widget as there is different categories in the database, so i can put all these widget on my launcher and when I click on one of them, it launch me my activity with the correct category items inside ? (these widget are working just like icon shortcut on the launcher, no updated information inside).
Thanks for your help.
Nobody knows here if it is possible ?
