MetaWatchManager rm11b (Updated 10 March)#

THIS IS AWESOME. the moon phase addon is neat!

@benjymous,

Working great. You and the other devs are really fleshing out the digital watch. Many thanks. It's running stable so far and not problems up to press.

One feature I would like to request is a settings back up. Is it possible when you're adding new features all the time?...but for the ones that are locked in, is it likely you could squeak it in perhaps?

@Smithers, Yeah, that should be easy enough to do. I tend to use Titanium Backup to keep settings backed up, so never really thought of adding an in-app backup.

..Well, I can successfully backup the preferences xml, but it seems apps don't have permission to write over their own prefs, so looks like I'm going to have to do something craftier. Looking now to see if anyone's already written a helper...

@benjymous - cheers. I usually rock titanium but haven't need to root my G-Nex yet. Also, when MW launches officially then not all consumers will be rooted. So you're future proofing!

Got it working - had to manually parse the xml file and push the values back into the preferences class, but it seems to be working (at least I backed up, messed up my widget layout, restored and it went back to how it was before) :-)

That was quick! Good news.

Regarding backup- perhaps also including a way to reset all widgets/settings to their defaults.

rm11 is looking fantastic. You are doing some great work here!

I think I have a bug to report:

(As it appeared in rm10): Remove all widgets (set them to "Empty"). Row 2 disappears and you can no longer add things to row 2!

(As it appears in rm11): Same as above, but "Row 2" Still appears, but clicking on it expands/collapses Rows 3-9. I could add things to Row 3 and they'd show up on the main screen, so at least would be worked around. At some point later, perhaps by stopping and restarting MWM, Row 2 came back with "<empty>" entries... perhaps this has something to do with when you select "empty" from the list of choices, the text is blank in that field afterward? Not sure. I'm having trouble reproducing it now, but it did show up after I uninstalled rm10 then installed rm11 (deleted all stock widgets in one pass, then things got funky).

Also I can't seem to get multiple screens to work... I just see the QR code when I hit the upper-right button. (watch firmware 0.8.2)

Keep up the amazing work!

I can't use rm11 on the Motorola Charm. rm10 was working fine. Here's what happens: I get this error upon either trying to enter the Widgets page or when starting the service: 'The application MetaWatch (process org.metawatch.manager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.'

Android 2.1, right? I got a couple of crash reports from 2.1 indicating I'm using an API function that was added in 2.2 - I'll add a workaround to avoid those functions
