[Apps] for the Sony Smartwatch MN2

[Tippfehler]

@ beowulf6
Thanks again.
Now it looks different (see attachment).

---Edit---
I have deleted the data, changed to port 995 and googlemail, changed back to 993 and strato two times and now I have the answer:
"Everything seems to work", and I see the mail. Maybe it is working now.

Thx for your nice job beowulf6

I test whatsapp notifier.. And do lots of test to make it work but still nothing...

My device is htc one x, android 4.0.3

Edit: just close whatsapp in your phone by using ics task manager and it will work fine

thank you so much for your testing.

Ok. that means it does actually show the view and the onfinishedloading is called.

So here is my last try for now. need a bit sleep.

But at least i think i can narrow the problem more and more.
So thanks again.

It shows the loading bar and afterwards the screen goes black on my sgs2

hello and thank you so much in helping me trying to find the problem.
i digged around on the internet and there are many with that problem and even as many solutions.

i have tried to implement the solutions i have found. The last two things that might be the problem is SSL connection because Google uses these,
and some proxy notification from the android os.

The odd thing is that i got now a report on the google play store from another galaxy note user where it is showing a white screen too. And i have one myself where it works. So maybe really a difference with the internet connection?
Has someone tried it when the phone is connected to a Wlan or with the mobile internet connection?


I have already started to try it with the native google maps api again.
But i failed the last time because the smartwatch does not use an activity and the MapView needs the MapActivity. It might be necessary to keep the google maps view on the phone screen opened to catch the images to send them to the smartwatch like i think the VFinder app does it to catch the camera image.

So if this last try does still not work i am again without a clue and will continue to try to convert it to the native maps api.

So here is the last try i think:
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap15.apk

Thanks to everyone

@ beowulf6
Is it possible, to have a button for manual email download on the smatwatch, or better automatic download of all new mails, if the mailprogram is opened on the watch?

I tested this version but it force closes on the phone. But on a better note I found that with previous versions, even those with the white screen, I can get the map to load if I open the GPS Map Settings once the watch is displaying the white screen or the black screen (after the loading screen goes away). I just open up LiveWare Manager, then SmartWatch, then GPS Map, and then GPS Map settings. It will show the map right away.

Worked with SmartwatchMap12 through SmartwatchMap14.

Thanks

All this time I thought I was the only one with the problem
Let us know what I can do to help narrow down the issue
As mentioned before I have 4.0.3 galaxy s2

Loving the GPS app. I have no issues with it at all. Works well with the direction portion of it too which makes it a great gadget

Unfortunately had to diasable the mail app. Was killing my battery and using a heap of my data also. In one day 60 MB. If it was consistntly using that much data in a month it would be 1.8 GB.
Wish the mail app notification could be read from exchange mailboxes like on Sony phones. Pitty there's a limitation with the default mail app on non Sony phones.

Thanks beowulf for your hard work still. Glad your helping out all these guys and happy to test things for you along the way.

Hi, new suggestions for an advanced clock with: (same as native android app)
-alarm (already suggested before, but don't know if the watch can ring ;-)
-countdown (Smartwatch vibrates at the end of the time)
-chronometer
It would be great to have it in our Smartwatch, thanks

Beouwulf calendar events app question

Good day Beou, on your calendar events app, the text is too large on my smartwatch so i cannot see the day of the event and sometimes the whole text of the event, can you make it smaller font on the widget? thank you

 

[fourthw]

Beowufl another request re: mail app

are you able to make the mail notification instantaneous like the app on googleplay called "Gmail Notifier"? that one notifies upon the phone receiving an email, the only problem is that unlike your great mail program, you can't ready the body of the text in the Gmail notifier, but can in your mail notification, albeit 5 minutes after email is received in phone. with gratitude

 

[beowulf6]

Hello and Thanks.

i try to read all your messages. It is getting a bit too much though especialy since some of the apps are in the google play store.

The Smartwatch can not ring. It can only vibrate or it could make the mobile phone ring.

the mail notifier interval is set to 5 minutes.
This will be possible to change in a future Version.
The App can be a huge dataplan hog. Need to try to cut the data that is received from the imap servers. So please be aware of that.


Please try the following version of the Google Maps app:

i am really interested if this solves the problem. but i fear it will not... first time i start to hate android.

Unfortunately still not working! But funny thing: Like gtdRR said, if you open Settings the map shows up.

Don't worry, you'll figure it out! In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft

hi beowulf6
it would be cool if ur email notifier could work with webdev like k-9 to work with exchange ... but then again i cant get the setting to work in k-9

just an idea though

 

[motonin8]

WhatsApp notify. on my GS2 does not work at all.

Hi everyone.

Here is another version which opens the settings menu when you start the app on the smartwatch.

I know it is not beautiful but maybe it works but i still doubt it.
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap19.apk

//edit: here are more tests:
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap19_2.apk (makes the settings window closable)
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap19_3.apk (starts another activity and closes it directly)

I think the problem is that some Android devices free the memory of Views from Processes that have nothing visible on the Screen.
But i am not really sure about that.

//Edit2: i also updated the Calendar App. It should now support Android from 2.1 and up. Please test
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchCalendar2.apk

This version works but I noticed that if you close the map and re-open it, it's hit or miss. I guess because the GPS map settings page is open already.

//edit: here are more tests:
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap19_2.apk (makes the settings window closable)

This version seems to work the same as 'Map19.apk

http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap19_3.apk (starts another activity and closes it directly)

This version works great! It opens the map right away, you see the flash on the phone but no one is looking at their phone while opening the app on their watch so who cares. Also works when the phone's display is off and locked. Great job Beowulf6!!!

//Edit2: i also updated the Calendar App. It should now support Android from 2.1 and up. Please test
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchCalendar2.apk

This app worked as well! Only problem I have is that every single calendar that is shared with me (work calendars) shows up. Even calendars that I have not selected as viewable on my phone but I guess they are automatically syncing.

Hi everyone.

http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap19_3.apk (starts another activity and closes it directly)

Hi,

I only tested this version and it works great! Even with screen lock on. The only thing I noticed on my SGS2 is that it fails to close the activity afterwards when the lock screen is on and therefore is not able to start for a second time. It only works again if I unlock the screen before restarting the app on my watch.

Maybe you can take a look at VFinder this app closes its window just after stopping the app on the watch. So i can open it again and again.

Nevertheless great work!
