[Q] Plugin WhatsApp for LiveView - General Questions and Answers

Hello everybody,
I'm sure we have here some WhatsApp lover. And of course some who have the liveview from Sony Ericsson
I love my liveview because i can leave my phone in my bag like in school and just watch what happen on my mobile with it.
But i use really often WhatsApp and I could be glad to have notifications on this little gadget
First of all, anyone knows if there is a plugin for it?
And second, is anyone interessed in making this?
btw, thank you to have read what i've wrotte :
PS: Or what about a simple plugin for every notifications, just showing it have a notification on the phone?

+1, I'd really be interested too

Same here. I would really love to get a notification on my liveview from whatsapp.

Tasker
Hey,
i try to realise it with tasker.
At the moment i read the notification, write it into an var and push it via OpenWatch Plugin to my watch.
Problem:
I cant read the message text. The only thing i can push to my watch is: "You have new mail from %%%%.". How could i solve this?

any progress?

Anyone found such an app now? Any progress in developing? Would be really, really cool to show whatsapp on my wrist!

Just bought the liveview and I think it could be good...
So, I also would need a Whatsapp plugin

Me too.

I want Whatsapp for it so bad!

Asking again: any news about Whatsapp support for the LiveView?

I don't have one (waiting for the sony smartwatch i think, if that turns out any better)
But i'm guessing a whatsapp plugin would be very possible, especially since whatsapp stores the messages unencrypted on the sd card last time i checked..

me too

also willing to pay for it or do it my self as soon as my liveview as arrived.
but would realy be nice to have it soon
luck_u

There is a reverse enginering project going on XDA somewhere, it that proves succesful, I think the WhatsApp plugin is not far away

Ok guys. I have this working. And here's how.
1 install a plug in from the market called Custom Notifier
2 allow the plug in to read your notifications by going into Settings, Accessibility
3 enable the plug in, in the LiveView app
4 select which apps you want to be notified about
5 press the thanks button
6 enjoy

[How To] Fix push notifications in the official Facebook app

Hey guys,
So, you know that official Facebook app is supposed to have push notifications, right? Yeah? Well, it apparently does, they just never worked for me at all. Turns out, there's a fix, and it's quite the strange one - you have to sign into the Facebook app on a Blackberry. Once you've done that, you'll start getting push notifications for wall posts, comments, and event invites, with an entirely new notification icon. Weird, no?
Of course, it's not like I had a recent BB device just lying around.. Thankfully, the Blackberry emulator software, available from RIM's site, works just fine for our purposes. I've written up a guide for the curious, with links to the emulator downloads and so forth.
Seems the fix was found in May over at AndroidCentral, but I'd certainly not seen it posted anywhere I frequent, and had to spend some time searching for a fix to stumble across the post - hence this topic.
Let me know if it works for you.
I saw this a while ago. I stopped by an at&t store, used a display blackberry, and yes, it works beautifully!

Works for Nexus 1 using CM7, did it with the emulator
Cool cool, glad to hear it's working.
Has changed the way I use Facebook on my phone, really, nice to have a functional app instead of it just occasionally telling me something I already knew.
Hey thanks! Its working

How do you get Android notifications for other Facebook notifications, such as people commenting on a photo, etc? I'm still reliant on email for that.

That only has options to enable email notifications, nothing else. Am I missing something?
As a separate issue, I can't get these push notifications working in the first place. My settings have the Blackberry app listed, I don't know what is going wrong.
I've NEVER received notifications from facebook until now!! My phone just came alive and notifications started to flow. The Blackberry trick works.
One thing though, I had to open the Options dialog during BB Facebook app and check the "Blackberry notifications" option.

[Apps] for the Sony Smartwatch MN2

Hi everyone.
To keep the Smartwatch Impressions Thread clean of bug-reports for my Apps i wanted to provide a own thread for them.
I just started developing for Android and the Sony Smartwatch because i missed so many functionality on my Smartwatch and the apps where missing in the market.
Some of them are done after people asked they want a app like that. For example the GPS Maps apps and the whatsapp notifier.
So if you miss some app for your smartwatch i might look at it to make it.
So here they are:
the Mail notifier (1.0.2.3):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.imapnotification
is using the javamail library for android. So there might be some bugs in it from me and from the library.
GPS Maps (1.0 Beta):
using OpenStreetMap: http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap.apk
Does show a Map on your smartwatch with your position with the GPS-Data of your Phone
Google Maps App (currently v1.0.9.1) in the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
Calendar Events (1.0.0):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.calendarevents
shows the current/future event of your default calendar and you can swipe to the left/right to see the next or previous Event with time and description.
WhatsApp notifier (2.1 Beta):
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchWhatsappNotifier21.apk
shows a notification from the WhatsApp application when it is installed and running with notifications enabled. (still buggy as it looks.)
Calculator (1.0.0.4):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.quickcalc.
Calculator for the smartwatch.
Thanks for all your reportings and ideas and i hope we can continue in this thread.
Great
Kudos for the thread
will continue to support ur app and report my findings
Sorry to trouble u again but could you fixed the Call log Smart Extras™ since it doesnt support ICS thanks again
TIPS: Whatsapp notifier
- If stop giving notification please disable & enable it back on the phone, also opening the app on the phone trough the watch might prevent it to notify again.
Disable & enable it back again
Thanks for your hard work!
Regarding the mail app, the "action toast button" doesn't do anything.
Also if i put my phone in airplane mode at night i get a flood of "failed to connect to server" messages. Would be sweet just to have one error which clears after the connection returns if possible.
Whatsapp notifier, don't use the open on phone option for now as it will stop alerting on new messages.
Seems as though something else stops it notifying time to time but don't know what triggers it. Disabling and enabling app fixes it.
If received two messages and both have been unread, will show an alert saying "2 new messages"rather than the actual messages. Customnotifier does the same thing so there may not be a workaround.
I'm here to continue testing at your will. Your apps will be great to end up on the market.
Cheers

can you please make an alarm clock app? [=
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but has anyone tried how well the old OpenWatch app fares with the new SmartWatch?

It’s the app I used to use to sync with my outstanding MBW-150. It would capture all notifications brilliantly, maybe the code is re-usable.

The GPS google map size
Good morning beowulf, thanks again for the multitude of apps, one question, the GPS google map seems too enlarged on my smartwatch to the point that i almost cannot see the blue triangle which i assume is my location, is there a way to zoom out? thanks

The light version works with the smartwatch as well. I use it all the time. Really slick.
Hi beowulf,
The gps maps app does not work on my sgs2. It only shows a white screen. I only saw the map once for a short moment.
Hi. The loading sometimes takes a bit long.
But you can try the new version of it which will hopefully soon be available from the google market.
It is uploaded and published so look out for it. But i will hint to it as soon as i see it in the market. (I hope i am allowed to post links to my apps in the market)
It will have some new features you will hopefully like.
(You will need to remove the old version manually though)
//edit: ok. Finaly my first app in the android market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
I think i already found a bug though. It seems as soon as the app is closed and reopened on the watch that there is stil a old picture flickering. Will look at this. I would be happy if you continue to test and report bugs and ideas.
Just downloaded it from the Play Store!
Still not working though. Even the gps does not stop after closing the app.
Congratulations Beowulf6!
Thank you very much for your work.
hi Wop2k,
yes. was the same cause of my problem with the flashing screen.
i hope i finaly fixed it. I already updated the app in the market and i hope it works now for you now without a white screen.
if it is still not working i would like to know your android version.
Thanks.

[APP][1.6+] Sms Replier - Need Feedback

Hey, I recently released an app to Google Play and was wondering if you guys could help me out to test it and to give me feedback!
The app is called Sms Replier and it's a tool that can be used to send texts to people who call you while you're unable to get to your phone to answer(while you're in an exam, or playing a game of soccer, etc.). I know this idea has been done before, but I want to know whether you think it's worth it for me to keep working on it so as to add features which have not been done in any other app. Please let me know how well it performs/what things I should change about it, and please rate it on Google Play!
I am excited to get some real criticism from android users so that I can continue to make this app what I originally set out for it to be!
The app is completely free! Thank you in advance.
I like it! Simple, but I would love a widget.
If you are lazy: here's a link to the download:

what would be good is to have either a widget to toggle on / off, permanent notification to enable access to the menu, or an idle / activity monitor like if phone left idle for x minutes then enable it; as soon as there's human activity then de-activate it (could be linked to the auto screen dim/off).
A very nice app, very useful for businesses. Out Of Office Reply
A great start! I would also like to add some suggestions (some may be repeats).
1. Widgets that you can add to turn on and off selected notifications.
2. Auto respond based on a pre-determined schedule.
3. Auto start on startup option (for scheduled events).
4. # appears over icon to notify user how many messages were replied to while away (like mail or missed call icon).
Keep up the great work!

as bigdog said those are very essential to complete this app.
first time i installed the app.. i was really surprised to see its simplicity really awesome
i would like to add some suggestions and doubts from mine sides too even though they may be repeated
some brainstorming got me to bring up these elements
1. sometimes there can just be miss calls.. you can add up timer like (send sms before ringer, on one ring, on two rings, or like if didnt pick the call at all will send an sms)
2. a status bar indicating that the sms replier with number of sms sent. [a widget would also be helpful]
3. then you can add some templates or profiles like driving, in class or let users create their profiles or templates.
4. there is one more thing that u can get access of contacts and just disconnect the unknown numbers[ofcourse getting the notification with number at our end] and donot sent them a reply in order to maintain the privacy and not let the unknown numbers know what you are upto.
5. and if i may add a option.. a counter to be set to ring if a same person is trying to call for more than two three times or in case of emergency
i will add more when it comes ...
Would be great if it could work on whatsapp!
The difference is that you don't need to click the template to send it when you're receiving the call. It sends automatically when a missed call is recorded. Sorry to assume, but it doesn't seem like you actually tried using the app at all.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
@saredev, does your app have feature that can exclude certain numbers from auto responding but they are in the contacts list. For example, notifications banks or credit card companies. These companies don't need to receive auto-response. I think you might have to check the number when it arrives whether it's a phone number or shortcode before auto-response. Or include a list of numbers from auto-response.

SW2 Notifications

Hi All,
I have had a Smartwatch2 for a week now, and noticed that over the last few days I no longer get any twitter @ replies or mentions pushed to the watch (using the Sony Smart Accessory). Also when managing the twitter preferences I experience a lot of FC's (could be due to the number of followers etc?).
My question is , how is everyone else handing notifications , using the individual plugins , or a third party app (i tried Watchit , but nothing ever got pushed).
Cheers
Gavin

I've been using watchit! both with the smartwatch 1 and 2... works great once you tweak it. remember you have to enable it in accessibility like the instructions indicate, otherwise it will not work.

Cheers - do you use any of the sony watchapps , or just let watchit control all the notifications you want?
It will be great if the notification counter would be visible on the digital clock in standby.
So i don't press button to control notifications.
This is a very good suggestion, a functionality that I don't think should be too hard for Sony to provide.
Re: Sw2 Notification
I also using this smartwatch, i also want this fuctionality on my smartch watch... Thanks for suggesstions

Its a paid App, but i like it much more.
I tried watchit, but i must disable the Message Information for every App manuelly. I will only get notifications from whattsapp. So i must disable 200 Apps!
Then i tried WatchNotifier and there i have an option to disable all Apps at once! Great, fast, stable and no problems. And 1,49 Euro are not much money.

The free k9mail extension works very well on the SW2, but of course one must also use k9mail on the smartphone as email client.

Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.

REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.

Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Well... no idea whats going on.
Can you try sideloading the watch app directly from your pc and tell me if it gets installed or the command output if it fails?
PS: I just installed it on a note 3 paired with a gear 2 neo using Samsung's Remote Test Lab without problems.
Thank you! I'll try later.
But where can I find the Samsung remote test Lab?

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/
