Anyone know of a clock and weather widget that also has storm alerts? Just curious cause right now I have the weather & toggle app along with the weather channel app for alerts.

Don't think so but weatherbug elite gives me alerts from amber alerts to heat advisories at my designated areas as well as storm alerts. I use it in conjunction with beautiful widgets and beautiful weather with the live wallpaper. Awesomeness all around lol...

There's a QR code there too.

Thanks! I will have to give weatherbug elite a try since it seems to offer more in the notifications. I threw a dart in between beautiful widgets and weather & toggle. Landed on the latter so I'm gonna keep it for a bit maybe. LOL
Hoping sometime for an all in one solution but no biggie if it doesn't happen. Thanks again for the response...

Is there any weather app like this?

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.

yes, it is nice, it's what i'm using

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

Basic weather widget help..

Can anyone suggest a weather widget, or even know of one, that is JUST the picture/graphic of the weather? I'm going minimal these days with my homescreens and need something to match. Seems every widget has a clock or forecast for the next couple days, etc. I simply want, if its sunny, a sun. If its raining, rain drops etc.. I've seen similiar ones for the moon phases etc, but can't seem to find anything for weather..
Any help? Thanks folks..

Well am not sure this is rom related but if you going into the widget selector and scroll down to weather there are 3 of them in there with 2 small ones.
You don't say if you even bothered to look at the phones selection of widgets.

These are from beautiful widgets. You can turn off the background so all you get is the weather. It's in the market if you want it.

Thank you ^
Going to check it out in a few. Wonder if I can edit that to remove the text(temp, high/low) somehow. Is it simply removing a line of script in the file does anyone know?

BW has an lwp that displays just the weather.

Weather bug has a nice small widget.

As I said with the stock weather widget you get several small ones. This is the smallest on that is available without having to buy anything.

simi clock has a minimal weather widget too.

How do I show only the current weather and not the 4 day forecast?
btw, celsius is spelt with 2 's.
Thanks.

oooh nice and clean. keep it up!
using it right now.

This is great. I agree with nyloncrack above, that there should be an option for just the current weather. And also, for the notification icon, it would be much more useful if you had the current temperature instead of that image of a sun. Great app though!

Thanks for the share.Great idea for people that don't want a weather app on the home screen.

Here's the link for those who want to click directly from here: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orbar.NotificationWeather

I'm working on adding more customization options
nice catch on the Celsius typo. new version should be up shortly

looks nice but it's incompatible with my at&t htc one x
*didn't see it was 4.1+

Very good!!!

Great app. Would love the option to disable 4 day forecast. Looking forward to added features!

this is just great! keep it up mate!

Any chance this app gets released for 4.0?

This is a beautifully made app, congratulations! Just a request, could you add other languages, like Brazilian Portuguese? If you need help with translation I can help you with that!

Another request, can you please let us choose the weather providers? I'd like to use yr.no instead of Yahoo. They have a MUCH more extensive list of cities, especially in small countries like mine. Yahoo only has the capital and about 2-3 cities.
In all cases, thanks A LOT. Just a few days ago I was asking on Twitter if someone knew a weather forecast app that made use of Jelly Bean's notifications. And now, you did it!

A few additions:
1. Maybe add the option to have rain probability for today.
2. German "Umlaute", like ö, ä, ü will not display correctly.
Nice app all in all. I will try it out for a few days and then decide on keeping it or not =)

LOOKS GREAT!!!!
Just what I have been looking for.
For those that don't want 4day forecast, just two finger swipe up on the notification and it will shrink it.
The only suggestion I have: have an option to get rid of icon in status bar.
But looks great man, might I ask where you learned your coding? I would like to get into it.

I like it. Although when I uninstalled it, my phone restarted. GS3 with CM10 nightly.

Looking great, congrats!
As far as I know, you can't get rid of the icon, so it'd be great to have the current temp on it (yes, it has to be an icon resource, so you'll have to generate icons for all possible temps... sucks, I know)

Would you consider sharing the source code? I'm interested in programming a somewhat similar permanent notification widget and really think this could help me out.

Are you running 4.1? this app requires APIs that were introduced with JB.

Google introduced expandable notifications in android 4.1 (jelly bean) so unless they backport it to ICS, I won't be able to release it on ICS.

Weather App that shows notifications and launches google now weather?

Hey so I've been a supporter of Amber Weather for a loooong time now. However as of late I've been on a minimizing spree, reducing space taken up by apps, processing, battery drain, etc. So i was wondering. Is there an app that gives you a persistent weather notification widget similarly to amber weather BUT launches Google Now's weather section similarly to how the icon would do it. Or is there no such thing?
I found one app called Weather Notification that i thought would let me choose what would happen when i clicked on the notification but soon found out that it only launched the Weather Notification app for configuration and the notification itself wasn't persistent as it could be swiped away and cleared.
So is there something out there like what i'm describing or am i doomed to always have amber weather for the notification and just launching google now's weather from it's shortcut?

I haven't used Amber Weather so can't really say much about that but what I do use is one called Eye in the Sky weather. I like its flat matte design and Dashclock support, along with the extensive forecasts that it shows.

Eye in the sky is similar to Amber weather as it comes with it's own weather app that it launches when you select it's notification widget. What i want is a persistent notification that only shows the weather based on google now and when you tap on the notification it launches google now's weather. Like a stock widget just in my notification tray and status bar.

Why don't you just use Google now weather?
I also didn't use Amber weather but I have a localized one which I believe is more accurate.

that's what i want to use. But i want there to be a persistent notification for it in my status bar so i always have a quick glance option if i need it on my lock screen and status bar. To have to open up google now every time i want to see the weather is far too annoying when i could just have a notification always there.
