Realtime.xml & Andriod Widget

Post by therook »

Hello, I have a couple items that I have questions on. I am running v3.0.0 (3036), upgraded from a non MX version this evening just in case this has any bearing...

#1
The realtime.xml file seems to produce the following when I view it with the Android App:
<data realtime="temp">9.6ᅵ</data> - I have tried ticking the UTF8. It didnt make any difference.


#2
I have a Nexus 5X - The widget is not formatted properly on the screen. I believe this is do to the high resolution of this phone.

These are not urgent by any means, just wanted to report what I am seeing...

Thank You
Jeff

There's a problem with non-UTF8 encoding in the current code - see the 'known issues' post. I think the reason selecting UTF-8 doesn't fix the problem is because the file specifies an encoding of ISO-8859-15.

I can't help with the widget itself, I suspect you would need the author (whoever that is) to fix it.

By any chance that widget app does not happen to be Pocket PWS?
