Post subject:  Wind direction and Rotator on Android
Is it possible to link the wind direction to a Rotator on Android?

As far as I can see I only have winddirection as a string ( N-E etc.) or in Degrees but the Rotator works with percentage. And without scripting support on Android I can't convert degrees to percentage.

Are there any plans to add scripting to Android?
Most phones are powerful enough to support this nowadays I would think l.

Hello JuzerNeem.
Using js to the app is not about phone's capabilities but if can support it. It's all about programing language that the Android OS can run.
I had asked Tony about it since from the first beta version and he told me that the app doesn't support js.
I don't know if using the Android Studio development engine can go further.. because in the last version the app has been updated to SDK26 and ported to Android Studio from Eclipse. I will reply to you when I talk to Tony and ask him again..

Meanwhile to have a working wind needle, you can do it by creating manually pngs (16) for each direction assigning the wind tag en direction.

OK,
Thank you for your answer.

Can you direct me to an (Android) example or documentation of how to get the correct image for a direction ?
I have created a subdirectory with images for all directions and added an image object to the Widget with a Directions\{curWindDirectionEn}.png tag for Binding Core

But it doesn't work. I added a Text object and also bound it to ${curWindDirectionEn} and I get N, but the image N.png isn't loaded.

WindSpeed is in km/h. Would you know of a way to show speed in other units (kts or Bft) on Android ?

Also with images ? That would mean a lot of them since Windspeed has a decimal. From 0.0 to 120.0 would mean 1200 images!

Thank you for your help.

I don't think switching to imperial units will change the km/h to kts (knots) or Bft (Beaufort). These
are special units for expressing windspeeds and need a calculation to convert from km/h.

I just used the Text object to check what value I was getting from Accuweather.
And you're right: developing on PC and then sending to phone is a very convenient way of working. I already was doing that.

Post subject:  Re: Wind direction and Rotator on Android
Yes, the knots and Beaufort are separate and different values. I meant the switching between km/h and mph.
Until now XWidget doesn't have tags for knots and Beaufort, so yes it will be a good idea as suggestion/feature request for the nexr version/s.

Could you please attach a .zip here with your 16png images to test? Because I don't have similar images and I should create them from the scratch..

Here are the fixed version of the images and the demo wind widget.
..and works fine! You widget didn't work because the images were wrong :)
Use the right click option to change location and units

Are you sure they are wrong...
Since I want to make a widget for kite-, windsurfing and sailing I want the arrow to point in direction the wind is blowing to , not from where the wind is blowing.

So with North wind the arrow should point downwards.

Post subject:  Re: Wind direction and Rotator on Android
Absolutely JuzerNeem. The cardinal points never change! Test the widget and see that works fine.
Accuweather and in general the weather services show the direction of the blowing wind NOT the opposite.

The tag says > Current Wind Direction

If you want to show the direction for today or next day/s , then you need to use other tag from the list

This is how it works.

Post subject:  Re: Wind direction and Rotator on Android
Yes, it works.

Thank you, expect a XWidget for watersporters in the (I hope) near future!

And I've added a request for the additional tags: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6993
