Today's progress


This is something I am very proud of. It's the first real widget added to Android for Nokia. It's communicating with the Android's Calendar application and shows your most recent added tasks!

It might not sound spectacular, but in fact it is. You can swipe with your finger through all your tasks in widget itself, no need to open the full application. The scrolling feels very natural and uses the same "inverted scrolling" technology as iOS and Android.

It still needs a lot of performance and accuracy tweaks, but according to the screenshot it's already looking good. The tasks are loaded dynamically from the calendar app and when you've added a new task it'll immediately show up.

Further changes:

Today I started working with another respecter developer. He's working on live wallpapers! So stay tuned.

Github testers:


I don't recommend using the current builds on your phone yet, it needs to be optimized to handle touch events more precisely by using an algorithm wether another touch event is already happening or not. That'll be fixed in another build though.

  5. the scrolling in ur calender(reminder) widget is totally opposite to the gesture
    wen u want sumthing to scroll down, on touch screen we actually use our thumb and move it upwards, but wen we do it here, ur screen goes up instead of going down, and vice versa!!
    i hope u getting what im saying . its exactly opposite of the normal gesture!

  6. Oh, ok. iOS uses that kind of inverted scrolling for everything though. But you're right. I'll set it to "normal" scrolling. ;)
