Android App Brainstorming

Hi Luc
So far, you can select one of the preset MT sites in the app menu on the top right
(see also this post: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=575#p3778).
Cheers, Martin

Martin is right, list of available is managed centrally (currently by me during the development/testing phase).
So if you want your website included in the app, let me know.
If you are already registered on Meteotemplate user list, I just need to know who you are (your url).
If you are not registered yet, first you should, second I would need the following info :

• "lat": your station latitude

• "lon": your station longitude

• "url": your station url (including http/https prefix)

• "alt": your station altitude in meters

• "name": your name

• "pageName": your site name

• "country": your country

• "countryCode": your country code

• "type": your station model

• "place": your town/place/state

Take my site as an example :

• "lat": "41.37890000",

• "lon": "1.94330000",

• "url": "https://www.elspinars.es/",

• "alt": 250,

• "name": "Pol-Brieuc",

• "pageName": "Meteo els Pinars",

• "country": "Spain",

• "countryCode": "es",

• "type": "WH-1080",

• "place": "Vallirana",

Cheers,

Pol-Brieuc

Your site has been added to the list.
Do not forget to download and install the plugin and report me any bug/issue you may find.
Enjoy !

Pol-Brieuc
PS : I could not find you in the Meteotemplate user list. You may want to contact Jachym and provide him with the same data you gave me in PM to be registered.

Hello, installed app on mobile 0.4, installed plug-in, settings saved, mobile is showing OK page, but the left gray panel is only Site, About

[ON1GL]

When refreshing the page (in desktop view) it reverts to mobile view, would be nice if it stays in desktop view.

Thanks for adding

Yep, that's definitely a bug. It should refresh the page you are viewing.
I will correct it for the next version.
I will also add the possibility in the plugin to set a specific page as default (ie either the indexMobile, indexDesktop, lite or default index)

Pol-Brieuc,

When I use the left menu and choose Current Conditions I'm not getting the correct data. It is in celcius and seems to be off. Where is this data coming from?

Hi Jay,

The data is pulled from meteotemplateLive.txt and converted to the units defined by the user in the app settings (default unit for temp being Celsius)
It seems that there is a bug on conversion and potentially a different issue regarding the weatherTemplate cookie used to reflect the units chosen by the user directly on the site.
In addition, I would need to give the user the option to stick to the units defined by the site and not apply his own ones.
Still work to do then... I'll let you know when I have a fix.

defined in de plugin(V0.4) the "current conditions" and 3 other blocks, but noting is showing up in the app ?
only Site and About is highlighted, the rest is greyed out, and the 3 block don't show up.
Did I forgot something in the plugin setup ?

Luc

Try:
in your device, go to settings -> apps -> Meteotemplate -> storage. Empty Cache (NOT DATA), then STOP (accept the warning) .
Restart Meteotemplate, and your changes from the plugin should appear.

cheers

no joy Martin
Can see the left info bar from most other stations, not mine

Luc

[iatros]

Is your station in the drop-down list of all sites? I can't find it!

look for : Weatherstation Antwerp

[iatros]

hmm, strange, I don't see your blocks either.

On your plugin setup page on the PC, are your blocks visible in the preview window to the right?

As in:

plugin0.4-02.JPG (133.85 KiB) Viewed 10282 times

[ON1GL]

yes they are visible in the setup page

[iatros]

I guess we'll have to wait for Pol-Brieucs advice, sorry

I will have a look but it is most probably related to the way the app connects to your site (a 301 redirection or that kind of stuff).
I'll check later today or tomorrow.
Bear with me...

[ON1GL]

if it can help the ip adress of the site is 44.144.11.222:7378

[polbrieuc]

if it can help the ip adress of the site is 44.144.11.222:7378

It seems that your site has unsual settings.
Connecting to your url using the domain is answering with an embedded iframe :

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>weer.on1gl.be</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
iframe {
display: block;
border: none;
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="http://44.144.11.222:7378/plugins/app/settings.txt"><p>Your user agent does not support iframes. However you may visit <a href="http://44.144.11.222:7378/plugins/app/settings.txt">the page that was supposed to be here</a></p></iframe>
</body>
</html>

This cannot be used for the purpose of the app which needs a direct answer from the site.
So I tried to connect directly through the IP address 44.144.11.222:7378
Although I can access the file correctly through a browser, I get an http 405 error (Method not allowed) from the app :

Code: Select all

Intent to connect to http://44.144.11.222:7378/plugins/app/settings.txt result in code 405

So it seems that your site only accept strict GET method while the app was trying to use an hybrid GET method (GET in the header but still trying to use some of the POST functionnality).
I corrected the app and it now work correctly (with the IP, not using your domain):

The fix will be included in the next version of the app (as I have also other bugs to fix before releasing it) but you can download an intermediate version (made just for you) here.
You may wanto to check if your iframe-embedded stuff is absolutely needed and if not, get rid of it.
Same for your security settings that prevent POST calls
And please confirm that the IP 44.144.11.222:7378 is a static one (it not, your site will stop working in the app the next time the IP address changes).

Cheers,

Pol-Brieuc

[EDIT] : The fact that your page is embedded in an iframe is also what caused the default index page to be pulled when refreshing the site (the same would happen on a browser) :

When refreshing the page (in desktop view) it reverts to mobile view, would be nice if it stays in desktop view.

Accessing through the IP gets rid of the issue.

[ON1GL]

hello Pol-Brieuc,

the redirect i-frame was something new, but it has gone away (I hope). Something to do with a dns entry at the web provider (one.com) where the domain on1gl.be is hosted.
weer.on1gl.be now redirect to the home server at 44.144.11.222 (fixed ip).
wget gets a 302 redirect - 200 OK and reads the settings.txt file.
Also found a problem in the ip firewall, the server did not always reply with the correct ip adress (44.144.11.222) that could confuse some systems.
Hope this solves the problems.

installed the 0.4.1 app last night and when accessing the left panel and chosing "ssGauges" a window pops up. all ok !
But when I open then "trends", the size of the pop up remains the same as before it does not reset to the size of the new item.

Good catch. Thanks Luc. I fixed it and it will be available in the next release.
