Topic: AVAILABLE TO TRY - Android App Build for Weather Display

[CNYWeather]

I've been working on an Android App for my website. I use Weather Display software and have since 2006.

It's been a fun build. Its pretty simple I guess. Uses testtags.php and clientraw.txt files from WD.
Taken a bit more than i thought to build it. I too am using Cursor AI and I'm using Android Studio.
It's a Flutter build within Android Studio. Building an Android App APK is pretty simple.
An iOS all isnt right now.

I have testtags updating on app load, then the quickupdates kick in using clientraw.txt which I upload every 30 seconds.
It's still a work in progress, but my goal will be to create some kind of config file for everyone else to input their
paths to testtags and clientraw, their local NWS Office, local radar, and NWS alert zone and counties for the app to check.

It's up on Github now but not complete just yet. There's a few screenshots to share with you all. I'll keep working on it
and share once I get the app so everyone can customize it. Soon I hope.

anything else anyone can this to be implemented?

[swright1957]

It's built for Weather Display and uses testtags and clientraw. My goal is for it to be user configurable to put paths to those you upload, so it will display your data then.

I'm looking forward to it. It would be great if it worked as a widget for Android.

Thanks

If anyone wants to give this a try, it's up on Github now.

You'll have to download the zip, extract, and manually install this on your phone.

This is an Android App for users of Weather Display Software.
As long as you're FTP'ing testtags and clientraw, you should be able to use this.

Bottom navigation bar you'll have a Config link.
You will need to fill in all the needed data/paths:

• Name Your App
• path to your testtags
• path to clientraw
• input your Lat and Long for forecast data
• testtags update interval minutes
• clientraw update interval seconds (called QuickUpdates in the app)
• add multiple zones/county codes for warnings
• add local weather radar code

I've never done this before. So let me know what I have messed up
or what can be improved upon. Thank you!
