Well, it worked first time under Android Jellybean on a Nexus 7.

I don't have the Sunbird.txt file as that was supposedly to be done away with according to 1st page of this thread. What is it required for and where do you get it from (if it is needed)?

Ales,
Trying to get the app to work. However, it does not go beyond "Waiting for data...." etc.
All files are there - you can find them http://www.elzorro.eu/weather/realtime.xml (and .txt).
Running on Galaxy Tab w. Android 4.0.4
Any suggestions?
Kindest, Ronald

With the latest update (3.1) I continually get Weather Station has stopped messages- always when I am not actually using it. It has happened dozens of times when using firefox, and also viewing photos in Gallery, or when using the camera. I've reported it a few times, but usually just dismiss the error with "OK".

It would appear that you need to ignore the app after filling in the URL and look at the widget (as opposed to the app). It works now.
@Ales, maybe a small documentation update??

Hi
My app works fine, almoust. there is one small thing that bothers me a little bit: When the weather text is in two rows, the second row's text appears only half in height direction, for example: max High pressure, Max Windspeed etc.. screenshot attached... Is there any way to correct that? It works normally in these settings, but it should be nicer if that text appears whole ... And the phone is Samsung Galaxy S4.

Working fine on Google Nexus 10 but it could make better use of the big screen (landscape) in fullscreen application. One thing that would be interesting is the option to auto refresh the full screen application every x amount of time like the widget. When there is a severe thunderstorm i like to monitor my station and a refresh ASAP is interesting.

Firstly Kudos to those involved in this project. Great work!
Widget working fine for me on HTC one. Alas the app isn't. I also get the "Waiting for data". No matter what i do it just wont go further

Would love to have the app work as well...

XML file location here
http://members.iinet.net.au/~nossis/wea ... altime.xml

Am I missing something obvious perhaps?

Well scratch my previous post as i figured it out....
Not sure where I got my xml file from :bash: ... but using the one as found here. (earlier in this thread)

https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/download/file.php?id=8197
It sprung into life...

So that is now a confirmation that is does work on a HTC one Andoid ver 4.1, both widget and app :D Yippey!!!

Now that I have it working and I note it uses webtags..... this got me thinking...
So I wonder if i can modify the displayed data in the app, by modifying webtag in the XML file??? Yes you can... Cool

It was at this point I just chanced across a mistake made in the XML file
The webtag for the line "today_rainfall" and "today_hour_rainfall" had been swapped in the XML file for what it should be.
So if you swap those webtags around it will then display correctly, line 73 and 76 in the XML file.

Hope this helps out....

Pulling up an old thread......
I just got a new smartphone and am trying this app....Had trouble getting it to work, but finally did, only it shows just the "Current data". The Today,Yesterday and Record fields are blank even though the data is supplied in the xml page:

http://woodlandweather.org/realtime.xml

Any ideas why?

Thanks!

It's been so long since I set this up originally. I have been using it for a year or two now. I forgot where the original source for realtime.xml was located so I can download it again. Anyone have a link?

I am having an issue with it with CumulusMX. It may be a character encoding problem. The file is in encoded in ISO-8659-15 correctly. However when Cumulus proceses it, it has problems with the Degree symbol.(°).
Example the line:

Code: Select all

<data realtime="temp"><#temp>°</data>
Should be rendered and shown as

Code: Select all

<data realtime="temp">26.6°</data>
However, my realtime.xml file shows up as

Code: Select all

<data realtime="temp">26.6?</data>
Location of my XML file.
http://www.woodburyweather.com/realtime.xml

*EDIT*
I found a work around. In realtime.xml, I changed

Code: Select all

<data realtime="temp"><#temp>°</data>
to

Code: Select all

<data realtime="temp"><#temp><#tempunit></data>
and now get this for output.

Code: Select all

<data realtime="temp">27.0°F</data>
It seems to work correctly. The app now shows the unit which is nice. Might be worth changing in the default realtime.xml
