Weather Widget nearing completion (again)
Well, finally getting there on the forthcoming fully animated Weather Widget, to be named cliMate Animated Weather Widget.
Testing threw up a lot of new bugs, including several that only appeared on the Samsung S5, including a very weird timer bug where the clock wouldn't update. Fixed another new bug where it would get stuck in a loop and request a Weather update every minute, terribly inefficient.
All fixed now, all Conditions checked and created a new How To: screen when you click the launcher icon but have no widgets yet installed, which shows an animated hand clicking and dragging the widget onto a home screen.
Need to add the usual Email developer and Facebook options, and need to start checking Facebook again I guess...
Finally will need to make a video of it in action, as it really can look amazingly beautiful when animated, particularly the sunset scenes, the thunderstorms, snow etc. Even now, almost three years after starting it I get a kick out of seeing the clouds moving and the little birds flying, or the rainbow fading in and out during rain showers..
Made some nice Promo material already:

Animated Weather Widget almost done #2
Updated main screen now, with drop own chooser when the user has weather for multiple cities, now showing a country flag for each location.
Swipe back and forth between cities.
Moved the Settings and Refresh into an Action Bar rather than on the main screen.
Location settings now streamlined and easier to use, including city text search facility:
Sorted out all Landscape/Portrait issues.
Linked main screen to launcher icon.
Final screen needed when user hits Launcher icon but has not yet added widgets for any location, need to show an example of drag and dropping widgets so they get the idea of what is required.
Then lots of testing...
