[APP][2.2+] Lockscreen Calendar

Just made another small app which reads the next upcoming calendar events and shows them on your lockscreen (in the text field where normally alarm apps show the next alarm).
ToDo:
separate date string for all-day events - done
configurable "look-ahead" time - done
Known problems:
some users reported a wrong sorting of the events. seems not to affect every device though
repeating events are ignored
if another app shows text in the same textfield, it might overwrite the calendar events
requires android 2.2 or 2.3 as the calendar content provider changed in froyo
doesn't look nice on android 3.0+ therefore i marked it as incompatible with these versions. i'll search for a alternative way to display the events on the lockscreen, not sure if that's possible though
Downloads:
Android Market

Looks good, installed and will let you know if there's any problems.

Looks nice, works good so far.
DAS FEST /o/

congrats - what a simple and cool UI !

Yeah, something ive searched for
thx

Really NICE app, but pleeeeease add location display!
For me the location of events is really important!

Great app! Works good.
Only one problem.
It shows me instead of the second appointment "null".
For example:
1 appointment on 27.07. -> is displayed correct
1 appointment on 29.07. -> is not displayed
Instead it is displayed:
28.07. null
At 28.07. ther is no calendar entry!
Using in on Android 2.3.3 with Nexus One.

Great job!
Very useful indeed and works like a charm!
Great UI and great job!
Thanks!

thanks for the feedback!
location is added in newest version, the "null"-bug should hopefully also be fixed

will this work on a sense lockscreen, too? (i have sense 3.0 lockscreen)

it should work on every lockscreen that normally displays the next upcoming alarm. dont know if the sense 3.0 slider does that, but the pattern/PIN/password definitly does

Not updating
For me, Lockscreen Calendar only updates manually from the app. Events from yesterday are still at the top of the list.

Really nice app love the idea...but it dont seem to work with unity sense 3.0 rom/lockscreen

Only "problem" I have found so far is the stupid Samsung Task Manager is rather kill-happy and I have to re-launch the calendar every now and then.

Yes "null" is fixed!
Thanks for the quick fix!

nice keep up the good work look forward to seeing what else gets modified

Update frequency
Would it be possible to have it update every 15 minutes?

works great with CM7
Nice app. Works with pattern unlock screen on CM7.
One request:
Is there a way to monitor Activesync calendar events when using Touchdown? Other calendar apps specifically have a "monitor touchdown calendar" so I assume they do things a bit differently.

actually the app doesn't run all the time so it shouldn't cause any problem killing it. i guess you suffer from the same "no update" bug as beeflin (which, again, is as good as fixed)

in the upcoming version you will be able to enter decimal values in the update field. so 15 min = 0.25 hours

ehm.. i dont know. i'm querying the default android calendar content provider, some of the first google results when you search for "android work with calendar" ^^

Can you add a horizont to show for calendar entries?
For example look only two days ahead.

Agenda in notification bar?

Hi,
Im searching for an app, that puts x next calendar entries into the notification shade/bar as fixed items.
Like a daily agenda in your notifications.
And also I am always on the search for apps that make great use of androids notifications system.
one less gadget.

Theres an app in the Play Store called "Notification Agenda (Notes)", is that what you are after?

AW: Agenda in notification bar?
Not really, it goes in the right direction, but it doesnt sync with google calenders.
one less gadget.

Give StatusAgenda a try. It's currently in beta, but it offers an expandable persistent notification showing up to 2 weeks of upcoming calendar events, from all calendars currently active on your device.

Recommended Mail App

Hey all I've been on Android for a little under a year now and if there's one thing I don't like, it's been the e-mail experience. I can't find any mail app outside of the ridiculously priced Maildroid Pro that has what I'm looking for (and I don't even think what I'm looking for is unreasonable!).
Here's what I'm looking for in a mail app:
- Non-ugly icon (I'm looking at you K-9)
- Clean interface
- Support for both Hotmail and GMail with no issues and push notification (Evomail)
- Loads all images in e-mails by default, or at least with the option to turn this feature on (a lot of apps don't)
- Has an informative widget that displays the subject and brief bit of the body in it (SolMail has a useless widget that displays too little info and Evomail has NO widget unbelievably)
I'd be perfectly happy with the default Mail and GMail app (either or) on my Nexus 4 if it wasn't for the fact that neither of them display images automatically, and I have to click on "show all images" all the time. It's annoying. I'm not sure why all this is so difficult, especially when I had no problems with e-mail when I was on iOS. Is there anything anyone can recommend?

I saw that, but it doesn't help with my Hotmail account, and I want it all with one app. Any other recommendations?

In that case, I join your question, my main account is hotmail also, lol

I always end up going back to the good old gmail app.

The latest version of [email protected] Mail works brilliantly for me. I believe is covers everything you have asked for.

It seemed so, until I noticed that my Hotmail doesn't get pushed properly. I need both. Or am I not choosing certain settings correctly?

I am not having issues with my hotmail getting pushed.... It might be something to do with the settings being used.I am using pop3.live.com on port 995.
Don't know if this will help. I think I also had to make a change in the hotmail settings also but can't remember where that was sorry.

You may need to look up the other settings required. I know there are more but that was all I could remember off the top of my head. I don't have my tablet here to check sorry.

Hi, as a SolMail Team, we want to improve the widget for you~ So, what's your opinion of perfect size of widget (with subject and brief bit of the body)? 1x1 or 4x2 is a little bit small, isn't it? Thanks for your opinion!

The default Mail and GMail app's style of widget is all I need. Subject, brief lines of body, done. The lines of the body should be changeable by the user. I actually use 5 rows of icons with Nova Launcher and would prefer 5x4, but as long as it's resizable just like the stock app I'm fine with it.

oops, sorry for late update.
We added resizable and scrollable widget on SolMail.(actually it's 2.0 update on May). It can be extended to the tablet size!
Thank you for your valuable suggestion.

I'm using Cloudmagic now, so far I have liked it. The only downside for you could be that the widget is quite simplistic. Anyway for me it works because I usually use the notification area to peek at new mails.
Oh and is really beautiful.

Wearable Widgets for Gear 2

Wearable Widgets (beta) for Gear 2 is just out on the Samsung store. You can now use any mobile widget to show up on Gear 2 screen. The feature is really great and you can also control the widget from gear 2 like pass touch inputs to phone.
I have enabled zooper widget and use it to show time and weather and call tasker objects.
It is a bliss on Gear 2
Check it out.

This app is made by Udell Enterprises Inc

Awesome
This is a GREAT app!

Awesome app! One of the most useful apps available. Thanks!

SUPER ! ..Can I just add one widget?

Awesome. I installed it immediately. Off course for Tasker. I use Launch-X widget in which i create the shortcuts. But i find it to slow, especially when the phone is off.
I also used it to display my tasks, so i could read and fill in the items into another task app. Of the first section it was perfect. But when the screen of the watch is off and turned on again, the widget is reset for the first items. Not to the last scrolled position.

You can add only one widget per device..
I use zooper to add only my functions as a single widget.. Calendar, time , date , battery life and tasker icons

I can not open the widget on my watch anymore. It is saying "Unable to connect. Do you have Wearable Widgets on your phone?"
Already rebooted my watch AND my phone. Still the same.

Uninstall then reinstall from Gear Manager.
Here's mine so far

Works great. Will you be able to add the ability to have more than one widget per device? It would be nice to be able to scroll through at least 4 or 5 of them. Thanks for the hard work.

If you read the first post, you'd know the dev of this app isn't the OP. To answer your question though, the dev left this on G+
"Clarification for Gear 1 & 2 owners: Currently, the Wearable Widgets app has two editions, both with a significant limitation:*
• The one available through Google Play (including this beta group) does not support Gear 1 & 2 devices.
• The one you can download through Samsung's app store (including via the Gear Manager app) only supports a single widget at a time.
The reasons for this are complicated, but are generally due to a number of restrictions that Samsung has put in place. We are working to develop a solution to both of these issues, and will release it as soon as we can - but for now, this is how things stand, I'm afraid.
Thank you for your understanding, and your patience."

My settings are 4 x 3 widget, Big Bar. Readjusted to the smallest size to accommodate the Gear 2 screen

Super psyched for this .. been looking for a way to use zooper. Thanks a million homes
Any way to set this as default for lift arm gesture?

Cool app shame can't select the s5 weather widget with time etc. But cool app

Just change the setting for what is shown on wake to last app / screen.

That means I need to go to the wearable widgets app continually before I am 'done' doing whatever I'm doing

The developer has indicated they are working on the ability to make this a watch face. I am looking forward to that update.

This just rocked my world... I don't know why I didn't think of that. Duh. Thank you.

Thank You
That's great, Thank You.

As I've been using it - I actually don't mind having it not be the main watchface. What I've done instead is make it accessible from one of the 9 shortcuts from the Multi-Watch "swipe-up" launcher panel. That way I can still have the customizable watchfaces of multi-watch, but when I want I can launch an info panel widget that has time, date, watch battery level, currently connected wifi SSID, current weather w/ 5-day forecast AND my next 3 calendar appointments. Using a customized Zooper widget for this. I've made a request to Zooper to allow adding Google tasks list items and the phone's volume state to a widget.

[APP] [WIDGET] K-9 Mail Widget

K-9 mail is the best Android open source e-mail client out there. The only thing it lacks, in our opinion is a widget showing your mailbox on home screen.
So we have created one.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kbsdevelopment.k9mailwidget
We hope many people find it useful, as we do.

Does it work with K9 Material?
Also is it open source?

Hello, not opensource at the moment. If K9 material is just a fork of K9, it should work, please give it a try.

Thanks for the widget. I'm waiting for it for a long time and it's nearly perfect for me. It would be more perfect, if there is the possibility to filter and show only the unread messages, like in the widget of the [email protected] mail app.

Hi there, thanks, we can implement this, wait for a new version

Hi shocking-blue, we have implemented a switch to show only unread messages.

Viliam

Perfect, thanks a lot!

Nice work!
It would be perfect if you could change the colors.
I need a black design with white text.
It's more powersaving on Samsung's AMOLED screens and looking better in the night.
If you also can make it transparent (adjustable) it would be great.
