WIDGET CONFIGURATION OVERHAUL [Samuel Nogradi]
► NEW FABs (floating action buttons) in cloud configuration screens: new way to add folders, tasker bubbles and new: HTTP command bubbles
► Default group in icon picker shows all apps on phone. The ones already in the cloud are now marked
► Tap icons in icon picker to toggle them (add + NEW: tap again to remove!)
► Removed option “Edit after add” (you can now double tap on icons to edit their bubbles)
► Tap and hold (or double tap) icons in icon picker to edit their bubbles (size, image, colors)
► Add all button moved next to the category dropdown, and it is hidden until low enough number of bubbles are shown to be added together
This has been long overdue. The old FAB (floating action button) looked atrocious and having the “Add all” button as FAB also made little sense, since it could not be used unless you narrowed down the number of icons so they would all fit in the bubble cloud. As more and more things can be added to the bubble clouds, it’s better to use the FAB:
► Tasker bubbles
► Folder bubbles
► New: HTTP Smart Home Control bubbles (coming soon!)
I keep the old buttons for Tasker and Folder bubbles for backwards compatibility. And we still have the “Add All” button too, but it has been moved next to the category drop down – and it only shows if/when it can be used.
I used to get the question how to remove bubbles from a widget. Of course you can tap on the the pencil, then on the bubbles in the widget and use the trash can in the Bubble Edit dialog. But now there is hopefully a more intuitive way:
On the screen where we add bubbles, we can tap added bubbles to remove them. This Cloud Configuration screen now highlights all the bubbles already in the cloud. We used to be able to tap multiple times on a bubble to make it bigger. Now long pressing the icons will bring up the Bubble Edit dialog and you can adjust the size of the bubble (double tapping does the same for compatibility: if you are in the habit of tapping on bubbles multiple times to make them bigger, the sizing dialog will let you do just that). The long press of the icons used to show the app’s name. It’s displayed in the Bubble Edit dialog now, and you can press “Delete” (or the trash can) if you don’t want to add the item to the bubble cloud. Of course the same options work with Contact Bubble Clouds too.
WEAR CONTACT CLOUD
As a consequence the Contact picker got updated for the Wear Contact Cloud too. We can now:
► remove bubbles from the watch using the phone (earlier you had to press the trash can on the watch)
► change the size of the bubbles (press and hold to edit bubbles)
► change the bubble colors and images (to imported / cropped images or icons from icon packs)
…these were all not possible before.
I also did a little facelift for the overall Wear Contact Cloud experience, both configuration and use is a bit more streamlined.
HTTP TOGGLE FIELDS
This is big! You can have one bubble send multiple variants of the same command. Typical use: one bubble to turn something on and off. How?
You can now place toggle fields into any part of the HTTP command (address, header, POST data). The field has the format [1|2|3] this is going to be replaced with one of the listed items cycling through the alternatives. Example:
Say you have two commands:
► http:// 192.168.100.52/lamp/switch/on
► http:// 192.168.100.52/lamp/switch/off
Now you can have just one bubble with the command:
► http:// 192.168.100.52/lamp/switch/[on|off]
The app will alternate issuing the two variants
You can have as many alternatives as you want (cycle through different colors or dim levels!). And you can place as many of these fields in the command as you need. They will be cycled through in sync (as long as each field has the same number of item alternatives).
Note: Uncheck this option if your command includes the characters [ , | , ] Then the toggle field cannot be used. Please tell me if you run into this, I can add alternative toggle field characters too.
Convenience: Place the cursor where you need to have the field, and enable the option → an empty field is inserted to the cursor location. This makes it much easier to type these hard to access characters on the phone!
See the attached video for a demonstration of these on/off toggle fields.
Big shoutout to kind users whose names are in [square brackets] following certain features and reported bugs. They are essential to the success of this app! Thank you!
