Time for a new update. Here goes:
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a sync and rating issues related to internet radio stations.
Fixed Power state button when playlist is empty.
New features:
New layout – 4x4.
Progress bar in 3x4 & 4x4 layouts.
Rating is available on the large layouts inline (no pop up dialog).
Alternate volume mechanism – between the +/- there is an icon that pops up a volume slider.
Added automatic refresh every 5 seconds .
Screen off + pause + power off turns off automatic refresh.
Layout polishing.
Player button was enlarged on all layouts.
Known issues:
Sony Experia – problems displaying the widget on those small displays
Player names containing accented characters may display improperly.
Automatic update is an awesome feature, however the way android implemented Widgets before 2.3 imposes heavy resource usage on every update. The outcome is that every update (every 5 sec) there is a resource consuming operation (memory spike of around 1MB for a few milliseconds). Notice it may impact the performance of your device. Please let me know if you feel any impact. The devices I used for testing showed no impact but these are relatively new devices. Weaker / older devices may behave differently and I may need to tune Squidget for these.
Enjoy it,
Avi
