[App] Meta Widget - Create Widgets From Any Web Content

ftgg99 · May 15, 2012

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

Why does the app need access to read sensitive log data?

SwitchMe shouldnt affect anything. Just try rebooting - its probably a launcher cache problem.

Let me know if the issue persists please.

How this widget works? When I add the widget it shows me a browser I enter the url hit enter then what should I do next? How can I add it to my homescreen?

I'm running AOKP rom build 36.

I take it you just ignored the tooltips? Gotta love it. And the video as well? Lovely.

Go to a webpage. Enter spot mode. Wait for it to reload the page. Tap on any element in the webpage.

I hope it works on your aokp 36...

vibecatalin · May 18, 2012

Very sorry! I was in a hurry earlier. Trying right now.

L.E : Works very well, I will try it these days and I will give you some feedback.

ftgg99 · May 18, 2012

So you were in a hurry and you decided to post on a forum? Thats a contradiction in terms if eer ive seen one.

No offense mate, just ****s and giggles

You mention a video. However, I don't see it. Google returns metawidget.org which is obviously not the same thing.

Actually, I found it, in one of these other threads you started about meta widget.

Problem: The widget title alignment doesn't seem to work. Regardless of choosing center or right, it remains aligned on the left.

Suggestion: Ability to select two colors so you can alternate colors for each line of a widgets content.

Any issues?

BroBot175 · May 18, 2012

Hi again i got it to workign using adw
i may be using it wrong but i can only seem to be able to select one element on a wbsite
so on say engadget on the mobile
i can only select one story not the whole colume of them
is there a way to do this cause other wise it doesnt really work for me as a newsfeed.
couple of bugs ive found
when on engadgets desktop site, when i press the slect box thingy the buttons all disappear and come back ever time i click but then go again
works fine on mobile site though
anther is that on facebook on the desktop site, when i click the select box the whole news feed goes blank.
I know the answer to these problems is just "use the mobile site" but i thought id let you know
Cheers for the app though
Rob

I mentioned the title alignment does not work. And it seems the content alignment doesn't work either. Regardless of selecting right or center, everything aligns left.

EDIT: Alignment failed to work with m.fark.com however worked with content created from a google feed.

Also, from the video, before adding the widget the user is prompted for widget dimensions. This does not happen. Perhaps it is something to do with Nemus. But, once the widget is added I am able to scale the widget to my desired dimensions.

Device: Korean Tab 10.1WiFi (shw-m380w)
ROM: Stock Honeycomb FD19
Launcher: Nemus Launcher

Very cool app.

Suggestions:

Abiliy to enable a border.

Ability to create a template or set defaults that stores color and font sizes, etc to easily create like widgets without having to adjust new widgets to match existing widgets.

Once the desired content is selected the ui advances to the widget settings where you can select content and then colors, etc. If the user presses the back button, the widget closes and the user has to start all over again. Please change the back function to bring the user back to the content selection page or the browser window. It's really frustrating having to start over!

Ability to set a global update frequency and/or a per widget update frequency.
