Hello everyone!
This is my first attempt at a widget, and whiles it is not very sophisticated right now, it could prove to be a useful service.
I tried to create a 0.1 version release of a widget to access the BestParking mobile site.
Currently the Zoom settings work best for a WVGA device, and the only cities supported by the Website , BestParking for Mobile are New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
BestParking helps provide parking rates for a vehicle covering specific parking times within the mentioned cities.
Tested on a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1a.
Features Needed:
a) Auto-detect Resolution of device
b) Smartphone friendly version
c) Back button
d) Help button
e) Geolocation? (via Google Gears or other API)
f) Better Icon
g) non-mobile site access
To Install:
1) Ensure that enable_widgets_wm6.5.cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=209763&d=1248767380) is installed on device
2) Extract Best_Parking.wgt file from attached Zip file
3) Copy wgt file to device
4) Click on Best_Parking.wgt to install
Version History
0.2 - 08/27/2009
i) Removed scroll bars
ii) added Back button
0.1 - 07/29/2009
Initial Release:
i) Supports WVGA
ii) Navigates to Mobile Site - mobile.bestparking.com
Thanks to the MSDN and Windows Mobile Blog team for the basic steps and API help.
Any suggestions and features, and mild criticism appreciated. :-) Thanks.
