Hi all,

I've been searching for a tool to edit the weather database (xml) in Manila2D. Because I couldn't find any I decided to code one myself. Now it's finished I want to share it with the community

Features:

• Runs on your phone!
• Allows you to add/edit and delete cities from the database
• Allows you to search AccuWeather.com for the corresponing weather code (no more searching for the code in the website-url whatsoever)
• Allows you to clear the database and only add the cities you want
• Works with the latest Manila2D (v2.0 build 19191432)

Requirements:

• .Net compact framework 2.0
• Patched Manila2D to allow alternate cities (eg not2advanced)
• QVGA compatible deviceWindows Mobile 5.x or higher

Screenshots:

Q&A:
Awesome, can I donate?
Sure you can, just click here and donate away

Can I post a wish or suggestion?
You can post them in this thread and if I have time I’ll have a look at it.

I’ve found a bug, what do I do now?
Post them in this thread and instructions on how to reproduce that bug.

I’ve added a city but Manila complains it cannot retrieve weather data, what do I do now?
Most likely your Manila isn’t patched to an alternate weather url (see requirements). If it is patched then the code might be wrong or the server has a glitch.

I can't find the city I'm looking for, what to do?
This application only searches and parses the AccuWeather.com site (international search). So it could happen that for instance 'New York' doesn't return the New York in the US. Instead search for 'New York, US'.

Nice idea, really helpful.

Only the Input field does not scroll up when the onscreen keyboard pops up, so you can't see what or where you are inputting. You have to close the keyboard, check to see what you have typed or deleted and then popthe keyboard back to continue.

Also seems like I can only put in one custom city and then no others.

EDIT : ok , figured it out. After putting in new city info, you have to go to edit soft key and hit " save as new " and then press the menu soft key and hit " save changes " soft reset and new city will appear in list.

Looks like a very promising and needed software.

I installed to my main memory, but now I cannot locate it in Start>Programs...I actually went to File Directory and found the files there and started it from there. Am I missing something?

I am currently testing the program, will report back later....

Thank you.


UPDATE: I found the shortcut in Start>Programs.
