[Q] Widget: show certain part of a webpage - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is there any way to display a certain part of a webpage in a widget on home screen with a manual (or auto) refresh button to sync it with the website?
For example, I have the following website and want to only show the table I circled in red on my home screen.
Please advise on this.
Thanks for your help.
Code:

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

You'd have to make your own widget as I doubt that there is one that already exists for the website you want.

Thanks. I understand that. I am wondering if there is any program to do the above for any website? Essentially, what I am looking for is a method to set a portion of a website on the widget. That portion could be anything (image, header, ...). In my case, that is the table.
Thanks again for your help.

I highly doubt that there is one, and, if there is one, it likely doesn't work particularly well. Each website is made differently, and sometimes there is a lot behind the scenes that makes the site work (i.e. the HTML isn't necessarily going to be complete by itself). Your best bet would be to make a widget yourself, or to find one online or through the Play Store.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[Request] Dual PDF reader / Dual Image Viewer

Does anyone know of a Dual PDF viewer for Honeycomb/Android? I am looking for an app that will allow me to launch up two PDFs side-by-side or let me display two images right next to each other on the same screen. The reason being, I am studying for a test right now and would like a way to open the same PDF but right next to each other. One side will have the problems while the other side will display the answers & explanations. Therefore it will make it a lot easier to see the explanation to the answer without having to memorize what the question was. Often times I will read the answer but will totally forget the question (since I am doing like 10 questions at a time). Hope this is making sense. Please let me know if someone knows of a program like this. Couldn't find anything on the market. Thanks.

[Q] Lock certain areas of home screen

Hi.
I've been searching but couldn't find the answer of my question.
Is there a app or other way to lock certain tiles of the home screen to disable pressing actions on these tiles? I just want to be able to press my widgets and icons, not the free space.
Thanks in advance

Look at this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

I want the brown boarder around the widgets to be unclickable. Don't want it to do anything when I'm pressing it.

[Q] web page not displaying properly

Hi All,
Need your guidance. The foloowing web page is not being displayed correctly on my tab. (p7500). This is basically a news site in my local language and should display images which when clicked opens up in a new window with detail news all in local language.
express.com.pk/epaper/
I have tried changing the uastring to desktop but it didnt help. Apparently safari can load the page properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Works fine for me if you ask me, basically you mean urdu isn't displaying properly, here are a few screens , Chrome did a good job of highlighting in red what portion I clicked.
Incase you are wondering, it's Chrome Beta on ICS Kang.

thanks for the reply. When i try to install Chrome beta on my tab it says "this item can not be installed on your device country".
What needs to be done to fix this.
Market Unlocker, It's free. Then change region to Verizon US, then it can be downloaded.

[Q] Help Theming Google Search Widget

Hi Guys,
I'm a designer and have put together a concept of a Google Search Widget that I wouldn't mind sitting on my home screen. I've integrated styles from other parts of the UI so that it'll fit more seamlessly into the user experience.
I've never developed for Android before but have done a lot of background reading and am aware of the various \res\drawable images I'll need to replace. My question is whether or not I'll be able to replace those images without rooting my device, using ASTRO for example?
Also, is it a simple case of replacing the \res\drawable images and it working or is there more to it?
I've got a locked bootloader and don't want to unlock it, so am waiting for ICS and a hopeful way to root with a locked bootloader then.
Screenshot of what it will look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'll be re-designing the app that launches upon touch to look more like the Xperia UI menus
Cheers,
M

[Q] Weather widget with detailed information?

I love weather apps, but I've yet to find one that I really like that much. A lot of them are pretty good, some have this function or that function but none of them seem to have everything.
Anyway, years ago I used an app called PocketWeather on Windows Mobile and used a skin called Wonder Skin. It looked like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notably it has humidity, pressure, forecast, current conditions (inc wind), temperature graph etc.. It had everything at a glance, I rarely needed to look into the app at all for this.
Most weather apps I can find today just have some current info, mostly seem to be clock widgets + some weather info.
Anyone seen any weather widgets with more details on them? I don't really want to get into the complexities of making my own with something like UCCW but I'm pondering it.
Thanks!
I played with UUCW, just built-in functionality.... Its weather providers suck, plus no more information than I already had from other things.
I guess I'll eventually just do it entirely in Tasker/Zoom.
