When I downloaded the xwp to my device and tried to install, I got an "Activity not found" message. I was able, however, to download to the PC, use the PC app to create the folder, and port over. It looks great. I noticed, however, that the conditions appear to be hardcoded "Sunny (now)". Is that still being worked on? For the time being, I modified it to show the actual conditions and the update time in parenthesis.

A perfect replica nonetheless...actually improved over the original. Thank you!

I tested and the widget work ok..Except I uploaded the version before the final one..
Anyway, I re-uploaded the file here.

About the .xwp, I never do it like this, but if I remember well, you just need to put the downloaded .xwp in the XWidget's folder and then run it and the widget will be installed automatically.

I re-downloaded and still had the issue with the xwp file on my device, the only widget for which I've had that issue. Again, though, I was able to open on the PC, which creates the folder, then copy it to my device. I saw that "now" is still hardcoded in the conditions. In the TCW widget, that time reflects the period between the current time and the last refresh, but this is fine. I can modify it to contain the refresh time in the parenthesis. Thanks for this. Another one in my collection.

Now I understand! That "now" was on the screenshot from the original widget man, that's why I added! It's not an error! :lol:
Look:

But why you do it like this? This is not the "right" way....
I think you missed an important part about the XWidget app: :!:
viewforum.php?f=23

and read carefully the "How install widgets on Android phones".
I personally wrote this..

What's in the parentheses contains the time elapsed between the current and last refresh times as seen in this screenshot. If they're the same, it reads "now". Apologies for the confusion.

I've (obviously) not read the directions before...you know how guys are. I'll give it a shot next time. It's odd that this one xwp has given me trouble, but no big deal. Thanks.

Got it! So, when I will post it on Android gallery I will add the update time there...
XWidget for Android is still in the initial fase, but there are many potentials already.
Read the "Tutorials" following the link that I told you to know more about the app, the menus, etc.

Yeah, the instructions work pretty well. I made the adjustment to show the update time; kept it simple, figured the update date was unnecessary (though I wish the refresh time could be rendered in 12 hour format -- minor issue).

Also, for what it's worth, the colors for the temperatures were my own settings on TCW. Standard for those is white.

Thanks.
