It looks like ver 1.3 is available on the Market but when I do an "about" on the app I get ver. v.1.0beta1

Is this correct?

Yes this is correct! I did not changed the version number on "about" screen. But don't ask why... maybe I forget it. :)

Next release will be available next week. I've lost the source (my winchester died, and I haven't got backup... :( ) so now I making this app from scratch...
But good news is that the app will be much smaller, than before :)

New version (v2.0) available in Market!

After/before upgrade you MUST download new version of realtime.xml file.
You need to overwrite the existing realtime.xml with this new one in Cumulus!

Hi Joe...

The new version of Cumulus Realtime uploaded automatically to my Droid X overnight and was working fine all day today. A short while ago I looked at the forum and noted that a new realtime.xml needed to be added. I overwrote the old version with the one I downloaded and now I have no data at all showing on the Droid. It's "downloading and refreshing data" but all I have are dashes - not data. For the record, I have not changed the realtime.xml URL. Nor have I changed its location. Not locally, not online.

I put the old realtime.xml back in place and data is now showing up on the Droid.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Also, I clicked on your 'donate' link and PayPal came up with a "Sorry — your last action could not be completed" error page.

It's unfortunate that you've chosen to call your app "Cumulus Realtime", when I already have two things (one too many!) called that, though mine aren't for the Android, obviously.

I have just installed version 2.0 and have the same problem. Can anyone point me to a copy of the old realtime.xml and I will give it a try.

PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send it along. No guarantees that it will work for you. But it is still working just fine for me.

If anyone has what seems to be a problem with the xml file .. make sure you have your location filled out within Cumulus.

The android app doesn't seem to do any error checking on a blank location, and just fills out "-"s for all of the information if location is empty. Hope this saves someone else the time it took me to figure this out. :)

I was really thrilled with the new version of the app, which is now actually a gadget, if I'm using the terms correctly. It updated automatically on my phone. I went out to the market to see if I could donate, and saw the blurb on updating the xml file. The link was broken, so I came here. Guess I won't worry about it - seems to be working fine with the old xml.
