This beta is now on the market if anyone is interested: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.everybodyallthetime.android.quickagenda.trial

Still looking for feedback on this if anyone else time to test it

Just updated the market version to 0.9.2 which allows multi row widgets.

0.9.3-Beta now on market, various fixes to update logic and import/export ics files.

Multi row widgets now allow you to choose the top row and show upcoming for the others (settings->widget->event mode->chosen top, others upcoming).

Choose a row by opening the Quick Agenda, tap and hold then press "choose event"

I was looking for something to replace Smooth Calendar widget and after I tested few other, I tested Quick Agenda.

It was a litle pain to understand how to configure it, but after I managed to set it, I have to say that it is the agenda widget I was looking for!

It is working very good in my system (look at my sig

).

Feedback left on Android Market (John - Apl 17)...

roflharrison · Apr 17, 2011

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you like it!

Any suggestions on what I can do to make the setup easier to understand? (e.g. what did you have trouble with?)

jolas · Apr 17, 2011

Hard to make suggestions as I'm starting to get used to the settings...

Meanwhile, I think I found a little bug: I had four appointments for tomorrow and using the left side panel (Quick Agenda) I changed the day to April 20.
The display was refreshed ok after a minute.
After that, using again the Quick Agenda menu, I changed the dates again to April 23, but the displaying appointments were not refreshed (they were on April 20).
So, Quick Agenda had the 4 appointments showing on April 23 but the main widget menu was showing them on April 20 (when I clicked on each one to edit, the date was on April 20).

After I opened the settings menu for widget and for Quick Agenda and closed it, the display was corrected to April 23.

Something else I want to ask for, if it is possible to select a span for the days ahead which is going to be displayed in widget (e.g. only the following 3 days, etc.)

Thanks in advance

roflharrison · Apr 17, 2011

So you would like the widget to refresh when one of the events on it changes? Should be possible!

Span of days is pretty easy as well.

Maybe would be a good idea to have a service running in the background to make possible to change immediately the widget contents when an event changes or in an addition/deletion of an event (in Smooth Calendar there was the selection of auto update (for the widget) which started the background service)

Yep, an ugly content observer doing something its not supposed to the background is the way I will be doing it

Should get to it later this afternoon or tomorrow, I will try to make it steal as few resources as possible!

Done, this new setting is available in market (along with the "event look ahead"/span of days feature and other enhancements). It is sort of hidden in customize widget->update settings->Refresh on change (at the bottom).

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks.
I'm going to test it and tell you how it goes

Early first impressions

After installing new beta, I have to remove old widget and set all over a new one

The worse: I was almost done with my settings and I was in Quick Agenda's setting page. I pressed the bottom selection ('Widget setting') and I had Force Close

Every time I press the above selection it gives Force Close (the message it gives is:
"The application QuickAgenda (process com.everybodyallthetime.android.quickagendatrial) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

roflharrison · Apr 19, 2011

Oh no! Sorry about your settings, I will be adding a restore feature soon to load settings from other widgets (I should probably add tis function first next time).

I think I have fixed the widget settings button (uploaded a new version to the market just before). Does it fix fit?

EDIT: PM'ed you my email address, maybe we can recover the prefs

jolas · Apr 19, 2011

Ok I got your pm.
I'm going to send you an email in a few minutes...

roflharrison · Apr 21, 2011

This app is getting close to release time, check it out while it is free!

Recent changes:

Save/Load widget settings
rejigged the settings some more
changed the default view to be upcoming and chosen
Layout upgrades

roflharrison · Apr 23, 2011

I realized yesterday, that I think this app has an identity crisis.

Its not quite a popup agenda app
Its not quite an agenda widget app
Its not quite a count down widget app
Its not quite an ical handler app

It has all these functions though they are all muddle together.

The 2nd and 3rd are easy, remove the "single row" option from the current widget and make another widget called "countdown". But this could also be a separate application.

The first one is hard. I could release Quick Agenda as just the agenda popup and allow other applications (such as a new countdown widget app or new agenda widget app) to interface with it or I could leave it built in to this weird Frankenstein app I have already created.

The last one should be in all my apps

Any opinions?
