META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

Really? What app(s) function the same?
He's talking out of his arse. Poor brain function.
There are no apps like this.
Also, if you feel that $2 is a lot of money you should probably not have a $500 phone. In the list he goes.

@ftgg99 I love your Meta Widget app!
Recently I tried experimenting with 200DPI on AOKP ROM and the widget works fine. To take better advantage of 200DPI, I started using 5x5 grid on Apex Launcher instead of 4x4.
I used to have 2 comic strip Meta Widgets on one homescreen, each 2x4. To give an idea, the homescreen will be split into 2 vertical blocks, each containing 1 comic strip.
Now that I have 5 columns, I can't make that equal split of comics.
Can a feature be added to Meta Widget so that I can instantiate as a huge 5x5 widget with it split equally vertically? .. with each vertical section containing contents from a URL (a comic strip for my case)?
Or is the Widget Maker app of yours be able to do the same?
UPDATE: This is how I had set it up on 240DPI 4x4 grid homescreen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26669391&postcount=157
Any way to create such equal split widgets on a 5x5 grid?
Thanks!

Why look what we have here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.widgets
Widget Maker helps you make panels of widgets to maximise the available space
Just a little something we came up with for ****s and goggles.

@ftgg9
I had one feature request which I believe that the current versions of Meta Widget and Widget Maker don't support.
The vertical partitioning of the screen works fine most of the time for 2 comics, because usually the comics are in form of 4x1 panels. But sometimes, the comics are more rectangular or squarish in shape (about 4x2 panels). So when such comic appear, it is shrunk down to fit in that vertical space and so is unreadable.
So the feature request is: Can one more action be added to the list of on-click actions so that that widget temporarily takes up the full screen estate like a popup? Upon hitting the back button or for that matter anywhere on the screen, the popup can close. Please let me know if that feature is possible and if it can be added.
Thanks.
You mean to open the image in a dialog? Ill think about it... maybe.

Yes, so that the dialog overlays the full screen and shows the image in the biggest size possible.
For now I click on the widget, and select Open in Browser. Then the browser opens and reloads the same comic from the network. It works but it doesn't look seamless. Having a dialog, fetch the same image from cache will be quicker than the current reload from network in browser option.
Thanks for considering it.

Hi, I was wondering if you got a chance to experiment with the full screen image overlay feature. Let me know if I can be a beta tester for that. Thanks!
No i havent had a chance but it is on my to do list!

Are you guys planning to develop this feature: click on the widget opens the linked image in full screen overlay?
Thanks.
Its on the to do list. But its not height priority because similar functionality can already be achieved through opening the relevant web page.
Ok this isn't exactly about flashing ROMs or anything but an app. I would like to mod this app for personal use. It is a lockscreen app (the one from L that was taken down from the Play Store) and for some reason it disables the default lockscreen and does not provide a way to have some sort of security measure (pattern, password, PIN, etc..). Is there any way for me to add the ability to create a security pattern? If you need the apk here is the post that has the link. Also if there is another thread in which I can post this in feel free to tell me and I will post this there as well.
Please keep in mind that I'm kind of new to app development but I am familiar with it's general layout.
Thanks in advance.
Is there a guide or how to can tell us about using watch styler? I know the basics of it but I would like some details like can we create our own frame? How do we do it? Is it possible to change the pictures that are used for the shortcuts so you don't have to pick the star or email icons?

Thank u very much. New widget is super. Would it be posible to make the font of the new widget like aod font? Further best weather app ever!
I tried this app, having used Weather Underground for the last couple of years. I found the interface of Today Weather to be much nicer looking, but I had a few issues which drove me back to Weather Underground.
1) The temperature graph on Today Weather is nice, but I missed the graph from WU, as well as the graph of rain chances over the next week.
2) The top two things I use a weather app for are looking at the forecast and looking at the current radar. Today Weather buries the radar at the bottom of the screen and you can't move it, plus....I just don't know. Is that really radar? It looks like no other radar I've ever seen. I certainly didn't trust it for accurate data. Plus, THIS is the thing that you have to pay for the premium version to get?? I paid it, and I was very disappointed.
3) This is perhaps trumped by #2, but I love that WU provides a radar widget.
4) Furthermore, I wish that the available widgets (which also looked great) had a bit more data.
Today Weather seemed to be primarily about looking nice, which it accomplishes astonishingly, and secondarily about giving you weather in multiple cities. As someone who spends 99.9% of my time in one city, that's not an important thing to me. If I traveled more, maybe...
I like this app. I bought the ad-free IAP on the Play store a few weeks ago to support your development efforts.
Tested your weather app (via above post ).
Really impress with app interface, animation, icon sets,and relevant info. .!
Your options /list re Weather Providers i like.!
Plse note that, I am a sucker for top quality, weather apps.
Have paid versions of most of Android
best weather apps.!!
Bought your app, Today Weather within
10 minutes of testing.!
Only negative comments i have
at moment is you weather radar...?
Could be better.!!!!
eg in G map it shows precipitation
as a white blob...? (instead of blue animation?)
Widget with hourly weather summary
would be nice ?
Good luck with a promising quality app.!
I have tried a few weather apps, but this one is one of the best

Great weather app. Beautifull. But...please please please..make a widget with fong and look like stock s8+ weather app.
Thank u very much.
Really liking the app and have unlocked with the IAP. Probably my only feedback is that the various sources for forecasts don't align with the official forecast issued by the Bureau of Meteorology here in Australia, they are all off by one or two degrees.
purchased the app. overall, I really like it..the look, information provided. The one thing I would like is a better radar. Live in an area with severe storms and it is very important to watch radar to see which way the storm is moving to know if you need to take shelter or not...Please add a better radar...thank you for a beautiful weather app.
Is it loaded with ads?
Purchased it a while ago already, really like it.
The only thing that annoys me is the temperature in the notification bar. At some point, it just stops updating and I have to click on it to open the app and only then it updates. For everything else, it's all good!

Thanks for update ( v 1.2.2.0905017) to weather radar ( G maps )
Already a big positive improvement from previous version !!
It"s a bit jerky and i noticed that the weather radar
does not keep data for offline mode ?
For me it's a big help and saves time , if during the day ,
I have to quickly refer back to weather radar (whilst in offline mode )
only to find no info available ?
......and have to reload the G map radar data ?
Great app, any chance of a mini refresh button in the widgets or a update interval section in settings? Like a previous user stated, sometimes the widget doesn't update.
not working in China
hello all,
it is only me? I cant get app working in China, it even not start, it load just with vpn. leaving a part gmap for radar, it should work same as all others app I have cause it is using same sites for forecasts .
thanks and regards

Hi, I'm kinda new to the wear os world. Been using Active 2.
I'm having a hard time adding new watch-faces to the Oppo Watch. If it's because of the size or form factor, I just can't find any good watch faces. Any help would be appreciated.
it's a little hard ti finde square faces but there are some good software try facer smart watch face on google play
The oppo watch has a rectangular watch face as well, not sure if it is the first one, so watch faces will have black spaces by default around the top and bottom of the screen, I found a tag I had to add to my watch faces to get them to fill up the entire screen. I wrote a blog post about it here:
turndapage.com/2020/09/07/developing-for-oppo-watch/
If there is a watch face you would like adjusted, you could contact the developer and show them this post to help.
I've adjusted most of mine to use the extra space, but I haven't adjusted them all yet to the best size. Dauphine and Sport in my essential watch face pack are better for the oppo watch:

Going to check your app pack out... cheers
Hi,
How would I fix this watch face to fit entire screen?
