Another notification update question

[Lucy]

Is there a way i can display my widget as icon on notifications?
I have my own signil bar (4 x bars)...

Code: Select all

global_signal_strength_level = signal_strength_level + "%";
//the signal strength in a value from 0 to 4 like the bars on a standard Android device
global_signal_strength_asu = signal_strength_asu;
//the signal strength in ASU (0-31)
global_lte_dbm = lte_dbm;
//the LTE RSRP value in dBm (-1 for unavailable)
global_is_gsm = is_gsm;
//true when GSM
global_gsm_signal_strength = gsm_signal_strength;
//the GSM signal strength (0-31, 99 for unknown, -1 for unavailable)
global_gsm_bit_error_rate = gsm_bit_error_rate;
//the GSM bit error rate (0-7, 99 for unknown, -1 for unavailable)

status = newMapFromValues(
0, "noservice",
1, "poor",
2, "fair",
3, "good",
4, "fullservice");
global_signal_strength_level = status[signal_strength_level];

if (global_signal_strength_level == "noservice"){
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_4", "visible", false);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_3", "visible", false);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_2", "visible", false);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_1", "visible", true);}
else if (global_signal_strength_level == "poor"){
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_4", "visible", false);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_3", "visible", false);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_2", "visible", true);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_1", "visible", true);}
if (global_signal_strength_level == "fair"){
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_4", "visible", false);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_3", "visible", false);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_2", "visible", true);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_1", "visible", true);}
else if (global_signal_strength_level == "good"){
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_4", "visible", false);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_3", "visible", true);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_2", "visible", true);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_1", "visible", true);}
else if (global_signal_strength_level == "fullservice"){
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_4", "visible", true);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_3", "visible", true);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_2", "visible", true);
setWidgetElementProperty("Signil_strength_bar", "Bar_1", "visible", true);}

I was hoping to use it on a notification!

Not yet, we still don't have widget support in the notification. But you can use icon/picture in the Large Icon. Use action Save Widget to Image File, and then use that png file as the Large Icon. You should see the small thumbnail of the widget at the notification.

However the result is quite small and you have to keep saving the widget to image, causing continous write. While all apps keep writing at certain point, I think the solution just not optimal.

The other way is to use java and it is quite advanced and might be scary. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7944&hilit=notifica ... age#p24150

Ok... i took all you said in consideration however...
I came up with another solution.
I simply replace my profile notification icon periodically depending on my weather vars. So my weather icon on notification is always up to date.

It works along side my weather flow. And uses minimal resources

[Desmanto]

That can work too. Just one additional thing, it is better to design multiple branch in parallel model, rather series. See this : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6882

[Lucy]

yeah i got many multiple choice flows in that style. And the post is totally correct about execution speed and so were you with using that style on a general basis. I just get lazy sometimes thanks hunny

Optimized for maximum efficiency
