Database Develop

Diamond Weather Custom City

How do you set a city that isnt in the default list?

afaik you can only use the cities covered by accuweather.com, and i think they are all included as default.

Can anyone please tell me if you can also see a wether forecast on the weather tab or does it only show you the current weather?

I don't have the device yet, but all the screenshots I've seen of the weather page show a soft button (bottom left of screen) option called 5 Day. I'm assuming that's the forecast view.

It is the forecast view indeed. Gives you the Hi and Low temps forecasted over the next five days with the right weather icon.

Thanks... now only waiting for the pro to be released... I am so tempted to get a Diamond. But then again, I want a higher battery capacity, the flash with the camera, more RAM, microSDHC slot... ehm and keyboard

Accuweather covers every city in the world, the database for the HTC only has major cities, in this case the ones in all the states. I live in Hickory, NC. Is there any way to get this by editing the database or some sort of update?

That depends entirely on where the weather data is coming from. If it's straight from Accuweather, it may be possible to do a registry edit or something similar to get the weather for other cities. However, if the data is retrieved from HTC, it probably won't be possible as they'd only bother processing the data for the cities available on their devices.

I'm guessing/hoping that it'll work alot like the Touch so you'll be able to show your local area through amendments in the registry as noted above and in the following link:
http://blog.commsconsulting.co.uk/2007/07/26/local-weather-on-the-htc-touch/

Ah, well, I'd say that the Touch Diamond would be very similar to the Touch, so a similar registry edit should work.

Jersey is listed on AccuWeather but I can't find it on the diamond
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...er&locCode=EUR|JE|JE---|SAINT HELIER&metric=1
Having a look for the reg key now, if anyone has found it already let me know!
- HKCU\software\htc\manilla

I Tried changing the registry to my city, but for some reason it goes to 6 cities all in asia?

Same thing happens when I change mine.
I thought it was because I was having to guess some of the Jersey code as it displays as EUR|JE|JE---|Jersey on the accuweather side but it looks like there is more to it.

My city is spelled wrong at the device.
Acuweather has it ok.
How do I fix that?
K

EUR|JE|Jersey would likely be Jersey in the Channel islands in Europe.
Wouldn't it be a bit more like USA|NJ|Trenton or something similar for a city in New Jersey????

Yes it would be for Jersey in the Channel Islands - that's where I am though
Be nice to get it working at some point, look's like there is something else that will be changing as well as just the string value as regardless of the value used it resets to 6 cities afterwards

Bad news
Hello guys,
I've managed to add a custom city to manila, but the bad news is, that manial will crash when it tries to download the weatherinformations.
here what I've done so far:
1. xxx_manila-file are SQLite-Database-Files... so get the SQLite Databaseprovider for Visual Studio from Sourceforge
2. Copy the file 2330fc3c_manila from windows-fir to your local system
3. Remove wrtieprotection
4. Open Visual Studio and add a new SQLite-Connection to that file
5. Open the Table "cities"
6. Add the City you whant to add (add one to the maximum id)
7. Close the connection
8. Copy the file to your device's windows-fir and override the existing file (user resco file-explorer)
9. Add the new location to the weather-tab
I will write a little program to edit the db-file soon... so you don't need a visual studio

I'd like very much to have mi city weather. I found the registry key too but if I modify the value with the code of my city it doesn't work, any news? I could try your solution importing the database file etc. but...will manila download the weather informations or still crash. I don't want to only add my city in the list, I want the weather of my city working.
Thank you for now

Hello,
I've tested now some other citycodes... no one worked... manily allways crash. I've no idea whats the problem... the "new city" is entered to the database as any "original". and the accuwaether-site for a city which work and a city which will crash manila are identicaly... sorry guys, but I think we have to live with the original cities.

I'm trying using your solution...I inserted the new row in the database and it's ok, but I can't overwrite the existing file in windows folder. I'm using resco explorer 2008 as you suggested. Any idea?
Thank you very much

[Q] "Complete" Word Processor for G-Tab

I have both DocumentsToGo, and QuickOffice on my G-Tab. DocsToGo will let you open a Word Doc, but when you go to edit, it opens a new edit dialog with the previous sentence (at most) visible. It does not seem to allow you to edit many formatting options, and I can't see any way to use it to insert an image file into a document. QuickOffice lets you edit inline, but otherwise seems to have the same limitations.
Is there a "complete" word processing program for the G-Tab that will let me do some formatting and insert pictures, as well as produce a .DOC or .DOCX compatible file?
Is there some way to setup Google Docs like this, and have it be available if I don't have a connection (maybe through dropbox)?
TIA!

I'm using the QuickOffice HD from the Notion Ink Adam and it works great!
It's available via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832
Right now, the current version lets you connect to Google Docs and both edit AND create new documents (Word, Excel, PPT) as well as read PDFs
You could easily open a document up and re-save it internal to your gTablet for offline use -- or as you suggest use Dropbox to keep a local folder synced up for offline use...
Google only recently added support for the XML office files to GDocs -- so creation of new documents in those formats isn't natively supported in this version (but may be available in a newer version of QuickOffice HD I suppose)
Long Pressing in a Word document brings up a dialog with the following options:
- Add Image from Gallery
- Add Image from Camera
- Select Text
- Input Method
You can also change Fonts (inc. set Bold, Underline, Italic, etc), Alignment, Colour...
I think that just about meets your requirements (?) -- give it a try...

+1 for quickoffice tablet addition from notion ink. Works great for me!

OK, have given it a try. To begin with, I feel a little odd using it since I can't find the HD version in the market, so have to wonder if it won't up and die on me at some point.
In any event, I was able to insert and resize a picture, but couldn't find any way to select just the picture so I could try to center it. Selection handles seem a bit difficult to operate. Also could not find any way to edit my headers or footers, or to apply my document styles for chapter hearings.
Tool may support all this, but the online help isn't the greatest either. Half tempted to register and see if there have been any updates.
FWIW

The HD version is great. Use it for my college classes and I love it. Have the USB case and this and ur good to go. Being integrated with google docs and dropbox is a nice feature too

I just side loaded the Notion Ink Quick Office app, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to create a document. Am I supposed to create a Google Docs account or something? Or should I just be able to create a document on my G tab?

I think you click the app (e.g., word), then select SDCARD, then press the small + at the bottom, which will popup file or folder choice.
Jim

Got it, thanks. Very cool!

Wow i must say the Quickoffice HD is way better than my DocstoGo full at this moment. Wasted my money on Docstogo...
I like the ported canvas app as well.

This seems to be much better than doctogo.
It asked about registering it do I need to?

Nope it's optional.

[Q] BlinkFeed RSS image on background.

As you all know, BlinkFeed displays a nice background image on every RSS item. I've been trying to replicate this with my custom feed (I fuse feeds I follow on my server and try to insert an image into the RSS description tag) and succesfully been able to make it display an image. However, it doesn't fill the field completely like in the stock version.
I'm not all that privy to RSS standard so I've no idea how to make the image to fill the BlinkFeed box and display the RSS item title over it, or if it's possible at all. Would be helpful if I had an actual URL the BlinkFeed uses when it refreshes an image and then look over the XML.
Anyone have an idea how to make this work? It works 'alright' now, but I would like to replicate the functionality in stock BlinkFeed.
Thanks!

Finally! A HTTP Weather page for the NST and other eink screens

Finally! I found it! Check this out everyone, I might fork this to make it work a bit better for my plans but it's pretty incredible already. I have it running on Maxathon browser in fullscreen and it looks very good!
I'm not sure about how it's going to update, etc; throughout the day but this could also be fixed.
https://github.com/matopeto/kindle-weather-dashboard
The page to use it is http://kindle.hrincar.eu/weather/ and it's open-source! So sweet.
Possible improvements:
1. Icons for me are showing ??? so it's not loading something (Maxathon Browser)
2. I'd like to modify the layout or have another layout with a large time (perhaps only 1,2, or 5 minute updates or something)
3. Ability to use a chart for the weather instead of 3 hour blocks (3 day chart taking the whole horizontal section, perhaps a smaller option too)
4. SOLVED, It's refreshing every 30 minutes. Perhaps this could be selectable (I'm not sure if it's refreshing, so perhaps a partial refresh somehow)

Wow! Looks pretty good although I, too, get no icons. I'll need to look at the HTML and the documentation to try and sort that out. Would also prefer am/pm time. What is really needed is to localize the entire thing before it disappears. I like my weather widget app, but this is a different thing altogether.
With Opera Mobile the URL for the weather display (as opposed to the dashboard) can be added to speed dial or the homescreen.
Now for some tinkering

Awesome, someone else is still around! Ya, with this awesome start we can make these Nooks look really good. I am good at expanding code, not so much writing from scratch...so this is perfect I'm imagining like a bunch of options etc. AND it can be self hosted
The maintainer emailed me after my issue, and it appears like the css is calling a custom font, so perhaps our Nooks can't load the custom font. If we could put the font on the device directly, and then use that; perhaps it might work...

Yeah, my heart sank a little when I saw all the css in the page. When I was working with HTML on a regular basis, I sort of pre-dated the big push to css, so never learned much except tinkering on the margins by trial and error. Firefox can resolve the css url for the font on my PC and Opera Mobile is generally pretty good at css, but it's not clear where the info is coming from. If it's an actual font call, then we are SOL, I think. The only way to add a font to the NST, according to my understanding, is replace one of the existing fonts with the new font renamed as the old font (gee...that syntax is awful...).
The font he is using is the same one I use for the NST Weather Widget app so I already have it on my device, but its not with the rest of the fonts and is not seen by the system. It's called by Minimalistic Text to create the widget condition icons (since it is actually a font). Not sure if the css could be adapted to a situation like that.
Hmm...looks harder than I had hoped.
Edit: so here's a quote from the weather icon font creator on implementing:
To use the Weather Icons, place the main CSS files in your CSS directory, and the font files in a "font" directory on the same folder level as the CSS director. Once you've done that, all you need to do to reference an icon in your HTML is type <i class="wi wi-night-sleet"></i>

Therefore, if the HTML page were to be localized, and hence the css references changed, perhaps it would be possible to simply point to a local folder containing the font.

Figured it out! I just have to map each reference to the specific icon in the folder here https://github.com/manifestinteractive/weather-underground-icons/tree/master/dist/icons
So, I'll have to test it, and then send him a pull request for 'Nook mode', however I have to learn how to do a pull request and how to use git lol. Here's the relevant information:
Image Usage Instructions
If you just want to use the image files directly, and not use the CSS file you can just copy over the images directly from the dist/icons folder. See the Icon Key below to see which icons will be used.

Slide from one html page to another

Hi
I am making an android book app with java using one web view and my pages in html files.
I created an assets folder , under src- main and store my pages in there
Now all I'm missing is a navigation method.
As I am new to this, I am trying to find how to slide from one html page to another instead of clicking buttons. please if you know how , set an example because like I said I am new to this.
here is a link to the app I made if you want to have a look(its very small for testing purposes, with 3 pages).
https://github.com/Philip2021-Gr/book-app-sliding-between-html-files
So far no one gave me any reliable answer that refers to a rookie like me in coding nor I find a video tutorial that saws how to do that with html pages that are stored in your assets folder.
Thank you in advance
Philip
