📋 Content
This Widget and app started as a proof-of-concept how to create such a widget with Appcelerator Titanium! It is not a final app (yet) 😉 It works but it can be improved!
- 📱 Appcelerator Titanum app (app folder)
- 📱 Appcelerator Titanum Android Widget (widget folder)
The widget is a basic Android Home widget that will read Ti.App.Properties and writes them into XML fields. The app will run a foreground service (the icon in the top left corner) and collects data every 30mins. This data is forwarded to the widget.
📲 How to install the app
You can install it from here:

Scan the QR code or go to the release section. Then click on the latest release and download the APK (under assets)
- download APK
- install APK
- add the Widget to your home screen
- start the app
- set places and press "Force update"
Known issues
There are still some bugs and features that could be implemented:
- if the icon is gone you have to restart the app to get new updates. Sometimes the system will kill the background process
🛠 Build
The App is created with Appcelerator Titanium. In order to build the app you will need to install the toolchain first. Have a look at my installation tutorial from From zero to app.
