Hi,
As I have two stations in two different locations how about an option were you can add another realtime.xml file rather than having to manually alter the link each time you want to view the other stations readings.

Working very nicely for me, thanks.
It would be cool to have the wind compass rotate to match true orientation, as per other compass apps.

Hi!

I'm working on it! In next release maybe this function will work.

Can you explain this? Because now I can't understand what you men on compass rotate.

Do you want to rotate the compass when you turn the phone?

Yes, so North always points to north as the phone rotates, instead of towards the top end of the phone. In that way, the wind indicator will point to where the wind is actually blowing from.

Hi All...

I'm a fairly new Culumus user and have had no issues getting it up and running as a local app and feeding to a website along with Weather Underground. A few days ago I discovered Joe's seeming great little Android app and I've run into my first wall.

So I'm looking for a little guidance in getting the Android app working. Right now all it doesn't show any data. Here's what I've done:
- Installed app on DroidX.
- Downloaded REALTIME.XML and put it in my f:\cumulus directory.
- In Cumulus internet settings under the files tab I have Local pointing to REALTIME.XML and Remote as REALTIME.XML. I have all three boxes checked, but not the Binary box. Cumulus uploads to my site to a directory named weather which is directly under the root.
- Manually force a Web Update.
- Set the app's preference for the URL to http://www.mywebsite.com/weather/realtime.xml
- Launch the Android app and no data shows. Hit REFRESH and there is a message stating Downloading and refreshing data. Still no data.
- Looking at the site's directory, I see REALTIME.XML in the root and not where I expected it to be - /weather/realtime.xml.
- I have moved REALTIME.XML to the /weather directory and then refreshed the app and there is still no data showing.

It sure seems like folks have it working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I can't help you with the Android specific questions, but to get Cumulus to put the file in the correct place on your website, you have to tell it where to put it, rather than just putting the file name - you have to give it the full path.

I had the same problem as you, but managed to overcome it with help from Joe.
Your settings seem fine - the trick is getting the 'remote filename' path correct. I too had realtime.xml being uploaded to the root directory when I just entered realtime.xml in the box. In my case, changing it to public_html/realtime, where /public_html is the directory entered in my website setup where my Cumulus data is uploaded to, got it working.
It's a great app, and I'm looking forward to the next version which will make it even better.
