[WIDGET] Message Widget

Hi all. I have been looking for a very simple and not too large SMS Widget that I could place on WidgetLocker. Since I could not find any that would fit my needs (especially only being 4x1 max), I created one on my own.
I would like you to install this widget if you were looking for the same thing and kindly ask you to give me some feedback, what you would expect, or what could be improved.
Currently, the widget displays all SMS that it finds. This is planned to be only unread SMS. But I thought for testing purpose it's easier like this. The idea is to fully hide the widget once no unread sms are here (just looks better in WidgetLocker).
Features (v0.1.0):
automatic monitoring of SMS
hide the widget, if there are no sms.
Browse all sms
Automatically scroll Names.
Will display the currently displayed sms throughout all widgets (if you browse, all the widgets show the same sms).
Planned Features / Improvements
Easier button pushing
Auto scroll of text
Basic configuration (colors, disabling of features)
Themes for widget.
Mark SMS as read from widget
Delete SMS from widget.
Project page: http://code.google.com/p/messagewidget/
Many thanks in advance!
PS: Since this is my first android app, I was not even sure, if I signed it correctly and so on, so please be a bit patient!

In the mean time, you may use a Torch app and make a shortcut on quickbar that you can quickly toggle it.

great app, thank you!
some observations:
- when searching through the contacts, it's not listed in alphabetical order
- if device is locked, when using create new sms, the device does not unlock, it just launches the messaging app behind the lock screen, would be great if it unlocks the device

Confirm these issues. Hope to fix it soon. Thanks for report.

a shortcut for the default alarm clock would also be nice

Hi Bao, hit me up with a PM if you're avail. for future freelance projects in Sai Gon

Reboot
Could you add a confirmation dialog to the reboot feature and a check box in settings for those of us that want the dialog box?
Also, could you add an option to merge multiple notification bars into one and put an arrow at the end(s) to switch between the bars?

why don't you take one picture up here?

Picture 1 shows how the notification bar would look before clicking the arrow on the right and picture 2 shows both notification bars and the arrows on the end of each shows that they are linked.
Two ways that this could be implemented are:
All bars are automatically linked and you could only have 1 bar showing at a time
Long press on one of the bars and click a link icon and then click another bar, with this you might want to put a box around the linked bars and automatically move them next to each other
I hope this makes it clearer.

thanks

I also thought that if you are able to make linked bars, that there could be an option to automatically create the linked bars after a limit has been met. Like a check box to enable a limit and another option to set a limit, list or text box. This would make this app that much more user friendly.

Great program
This program works great for me, unlike another similar notification bar program I tried that caused unexpected/unwanted changes to my phone's behavior.
Keep up the good work.

How to edit?
leducbao - this is a wonderful app, I use it all the time. A couple of things that I have not worked out, however, are:
1 How to edit an existing bar e.g. remove/replace shortcuts?
2 How to re-order icons in a "new" or "existing" bar (linked to question 1)?
I cannot find that these two issues are clarified in your FAQ and feel it would be really cool if they were explained (then again, I might have missed something, sorry if that's the case!).
Congratulations on a really, really good app.

[Q] Most widgets not available for lock screen (KitKat 4.4)?

I hope I'm just doing something stupid ...
I can't add most widgets I've downloaded to my lock screen on my Nexus 5 ... though they all work fine adding to my home screen. Only a few (like Android Weather) are available when hit the "plus" on a blank lockscreen.
All I want is a brightness widget that can make the display bright so I can properly put in my password in bright sunlight (I never set my brightness to auto, it's too annoying for me).
ie. Power Widget lite would be perfect for my needs!
Any one having the same problem? Any ideas?

I have the same problem. Wanted to add some beautiful clock widget to homescreen (don't remember exactly which one), downloaded, installed, went to add to homescreen - no luck.

Why can't you get something like power toggles. Then you could pull down notification bar on lockscreen and toggle brightness to what you wanted. An extra step I know

I can add everything I've downloaded add to homescreen. But almost none can be added to my lockscreens. That's my problem.

Very cool app, thanks for pointing it out. But ... I can't pull down the notification bar when the phone is locked ... how are you able to?

you add widgets on your lockscreen by enabling them in security. there's a checkbox that says "enable widgets"

Yep, did that. The thing is only SOME can be added. Very few that I've downloaded (even though they all seem to work on home screens).

Wow AWESOME app! That's exactly what I need! I was looking for a bunch of widgets on one row, which the lockscreen doesn't even seem to allow, but this widget already let me configure everything I needed in one row of buttons.
It turns out that THIS widget CAN be placed on the lockscreen (I'm not talking about the one visible in the notification bar, I can only access that when the phone's already unlocked).
BUT ... I still want to know why most widgets can't get placed on the lockscreen to begin with. Are they not Android 4.4-lockscreen-compatible yet?

The widgets have to be enabled to work on the lock screen by the developer.

Aha! Didn't expect that widgets needed special lock screen support.
So there's home screen widgets, lock screen widgets, notification bar widgets, ... I wonder what other classes of apps I'm missing - widget widgets? It would be nice if Google Play Store could search based on widget class.

[Request] Lockscreen weather (cLock) to show Cal events

Pretty self explanatory. Some Roms incorporate clock (chronus) 's weather widget into the lockscreeb. But while the full widget can also show calendar events, the lockscreen cannot.
I think it will be wonderful to also show events.
Thanks.

Hm, I dont know if I understand you correctly, but do you know Calendar Notify Agenda Status? It´s a small App that supports to show calendar events at the lockscreen, I use it since I´ve found it!

Request a Lockscreen widget which allow shorcuts/activities pressing an element

Hello partners
I'm Seeking for a widget like beautiful widgets, transparent weather clock, etc which shows time and weather (weather is not essential) and allow to perform actions by touching a part of the widget (the hour, the minute, the city ​​..) and allow it without unlocking the phone (I mean the swipe security screen lock).
The problem with these is that I put is that not allow to execute actions ROM, gravitybox, etc, only allow launch installed applications.
Buzz widget allow actions, but pressing the entire widget, so you can only put one.
My idea is for example that if I press the minutes do toggle wifi, if I press the hours toggle sound / silence, etc.
Any ideas?
I've tried many (Beautifu widgets, 3D widget, Bright weather, Go weather, Transparent weather, Weather & clock, Weather xl, zooper, buzz, uccw ..) but none fits both needs or I am not capable of it.
Another idea that occurred to me is to find a way to make shorcuts/activities appearing on the list of installed applications but I don't have found a way to do it..
Greetings and thank you very much

beautiful widget

Hi
Beautiful widget don't allow to launch shorcuts or activities, just installed apps

Try Chronus. You can set up on-click-actions (open apps, open popups, executing shortcuts) when clicking on parts of the widget (clock, weather, ...). Great in combination with Popup Widget.

Thanks mate I'l try Chronus
on the other hand, I'm at work right now and I can't see the youtube Popup Widget video and the google play description is very lacking (at least for me)
Could you please tell me what Popup Widget 2 does?
Edit: AFAIK is to have launch widgets via icons, isn't it? So you save space in the screen

Basically, you can create popup widgets (using every available widget from your device's apps), that can be bound to gestures, icon clicking, shortcuts and more. I would recommend to try both Chronus and Popup Widget when you have some spare time (up to 2 hours will be enough, I guess).
For example, if you create a swipe up gesture, you can launch your favourite music player widget, which will just pop up in a pre-defined area.

What app gestures do you work?
I'm using gesture-navigation which is great but unfortunately seems that will be dead in a close future.

Most custom ROMs (or even some launchers, like Nova Launcher) have in-built gesture support.
