[APP][12/1] Calendr/Calendr+ 1.5 - Released on Market!

[ruqqq]

As you probably would have guess, inspired by clockr, here comes the calendr widget, your minimalistic calendar event widget.

How minimalistic?
Follows the style of clockr, only needed information is shown. It shows the upcoming events within 1 week range, and most importantly, it only shows 1 event.

FAQ
Can you make tapping the widget open the detail of the event?
I tried, trust me. But somehow, the event detail view open with incorrect information. If anybody knows how android properly handle calendar intents, do tell me please!

How much resource does the widget use?
No polling is done. The widget now hooks onto Android Calendar to detect changes to it. 1 widget refresh update is done per day in the case where no changes in the Android Calendar is detected.

Picture speak a thousand words...

I like it. I plan on using it in my next screenshot on colormeandroid =D I already wrote an article about it http://bit.ly/eilcO2

Great work, great idea. I've wanted a calendar widget that only displays one event for ages!

One thing I've noticed is that it only displays one category, not all of them, or my shared calendars? Am I overlooking something?

You just filled a void I have tried to fill for the past year and a half. I like to have a minimum homescreen and could never find a calendar to fit into the space I wanted it to. But now I have this space filled. Thank you. You should put in the Market so we know when you update. But I suppose you want to do more alpha testing. Added this thread to favs.

Oh. Awesome!

 

[ruqqq]

Heh. Apparently I accidentally left the bug for the multi calendar. Will fix it in next version.

Not in market yet because I haven't polished it enough.

Stay tuned! Hope you guys enjoyed it.

So that Bug will fix the multi calendars thing?

This really is fantastic - great work fella - really chuffed - it also fills a void for me too.

Will there be a font size option etc?

When will the next version drop?

Thanks so much again - seriously chuffed about your app and will be spreading the word too! x

 

[valesavex]

suggestions:

text size options...
N° of events displayed....

Doesn't work on HTC Wildfire.

More customizations would be available later on. Cut the alpha some slack.

@Tsjoklat
your description doesn't help me. perhaps you want to provide a more detailed description? like... Android Version... etc.

I installed Calendr on my N1. I am stock, not rooted. As soon as I put the widget on my homescreen, and tried to open my6 sense, my phone froze. I had to do a battery pull. It was probably my fault but I thought you might be interested to know what happened. (I use ADWlauncher, by the way) I do really like the way the widget looks though.

Polling every 30mins? That is bad practice in Android! You'd better subscribe to calendar events using a Content Provider with your widget app and be notified of changes instantly.

 

[ruqqq]

@Babydoll25 thanks for the report.

@j0bro
im honestly new to this content provider and this is a whipped up alpha. but thanks for the pointer, i didn't know you can subscribe to the content provider. the only issue now is that, now, i need to create service for the app. hopefully it doesnt use much RAM.

Great widget!

I'd like the ability to customize some options, like text colour, font and number of events (or at least some kind of indicator showing there are multiple upcoming events?)

 

[rehuxley]

Been waiting for something like this. Thanks for creating it!

 

[Veekster]

I love the concept. I get the widget on my homescreen, but no letters, no text. A bit too minimalistic. Am I missing something?

 

[stian230]
