[ANNOUNCE] Digital Currency Widget: bitcoin / altcoin price widget for android

[qxzn]

version 15:
- complete overhaul of background and foreground color implementation. Now you get a full color picker, and a dynamically generated background that actually works (including custom alpha levels!) on older versions of android.
- fix bug causing some widgets to never update, either when tapped or automatically
- don't display toast messages during background refreshes; only when the users actually taps the widget.


I especially hope you guys like the new color stuff, cause it took a while to get right (but damn you can make some pretty widgets now!)

Any chance you can make it stop popping up a notice that says "refreshing" in the foreground of whatever I'm doing?

Yup, that's in this update too, see the third item on the list.

version 16:
- use exchange prices, instead of estimates, in more cases.

Thanks for keeping this so up to date and fixing bugs - my brother and I use your widget for LTC & BTC, and love it. Thanks again, keep it up!

[e521]

thank you for fixing the unhandled exception, it was really annoying!

Would it be possile to have a bigger panel with BTC/USD LTC/BTC and LTC/USD? I like big widgets

you're welcome!

Maybe? I'm not sure what exactly it is you're looking for. Maybe you can draw a picture for me?

This widget RULES! Thanks!

Version 17:
- add TRC, remove Bitfloor

[FatMagic]

Hey QXZN!

Would you mind adding FTC (Feathercoin) to your widget? It's traded on Vircurex and BTC-e.

Thanks!

Sweet!

version 18:
- cleaner exchange/coin selection. you may have to delete and re-add all your widgets as the underlying configuration type has changed.
- add FTC

I have gotten requests for more obscure coins. I have decided to include coins once they reach 10000+ BTC of market cap as reported by dustcoin.com. If I don't notice a coin reach this value, please let me know.

version 19: fix minor regression introduced in version 18
(wasn't displaying Btc-E LTC/BTC rate)

[El Dude]

the widget doesn't update anymore since the last update.

[qxzn]

version 20:
 - add bitstamp and campbx for BTC prices
 - add freicoin (Vircurex)

important: if you are having problems since update 18ish, try deleting your widget then adding it back to the desktop. The upgrade path wasn't clean as I moved to a different underlying preferences structure. Sorry about the inconvenience!
