Hi All!

A couple of months ago I've sended a message here, that I'm working on an application for Android devices.
Now I'm finished!
The app can be downloaded from Play Store: Pocket PWS

The application supports various screen and device types, from Android 2.2 up to 4.2.2

For detailed installation instructions check application home page:

I hope, you will like my little, tiny porject! :)

Brgds,

Joseph

Change in the wview.xtx file the first line from:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15" ?>
to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

It must work!

Iam also interesting traslating this app in Greek
here it is

Time = Ώρα
Date = Ημερομηνία
Pressure = Πίεση
Trend = Ε.Σ.Δ. (Ελάχιστο Σημείο Δρόσου)
Temp = Θερμοκρασία
Humidity = Υγρασία
Rain = Βροχή
Rate/h = Ένταση βροχόπτωσης
Dew = Σημείο δρόσου
Windchill = Αίσθηση Ψύχους
Wind = Άνεμος
Sun = Ανατολή/Δύση ηλίου
Moon = Ανατολή/Δύση σελλήνης

Yes, excellent application. But it only works with stations that have this template installed.

Why not read the XML directly from wunderground.com 



The user only have to insert the station ID (ISETBALA2) regardless of the software used.

Hello,

very goof job, thanks a lot for this
With a station operating with wview, I was expecting a program of this type for a long time and in addition we offer you a widget ... really thank you!

I am willing to help you translate the program in French, translate the presentation on google play... if you want.

Excuses for my bad english ;)
Thanks

transalte in french

time= heure
date = date
pressure = pression
trend= évolution
temp= température
humidity= humidité 
Rain = pluie
Rate = débit
dew= point de rosée 
windchill: refroidissement éolien
wind : vent
Sun: soleil
moon: lune

for google play
"Les informations de votre station météo personnelle dans votre poche .
Cette application prend en charge les logiciel Cumulus et wviewweather.
Les instructions pour paramétrer ces deux logiciels avec Pocket PWS sont disponibles sur http://android.teszdesign.hu/installation-instructions/

if you can make a widget more light like 2x2, with the temp, rain, and wind.

thanks

Joseph,

 

I would like to make a suggestion, (see suggested image below) It seem odd to me that the temp should be on the left, since reading normally from left to right, top to bottom, the most important thing would be temperature, the maybe humidity, then pressure and rain.  This other item would be to add a small last updated.

 

Thanks for the App I do like it.

 

Regards,

Mike

Great app! Thanks :)

I think the widget is just fine, but space could be more compressed (or perhaps make two version of it for space saving). :)

Hello!
the widget is working,which is good!
If you allow me to criticize, it is far too bbig (at least to me)
I would prefer a 2x1 Like

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ales.veluscek.weatherstation

But that is my point of view only :-)

My desktop is pretty full

I have been using this for awhile and works pretty well. I think you should perhaps change wind chill to the heat index when wind chill is no longer appropriate. 
Thanks.

My web site has little bit of java script that displays wind chill or heat index depending on which is appropriate at the moment.
