A simple weather widget and a simple upcoming alarm widget.
A minimal Android app (Kotlin) whose primary value is home screen widgets displaying the current temperature and the next upcoming alarm. The widgets are built with RemoteViews/AppWidget; Open-Meteo provides weather (no API key required). Location uses the framework LocationManager (no Google Play Services).
Always tag after the PR merges on GitHub. GitHub signs merge commits automatically, so tagging the merged commit produces a "Verified" release without any local GPG/SSH setup.
# After merging on GitHub:
git checkout main && git pull
# Stable release
git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release v1.0.0"
git push origin v1.0.0
# Pre-release (alpha/beta — triggers release workflow, marked as pre-release)
git tag -a v1.0.0-alpha -m "Pre-release v1.0.0-alpha"
git push origin v1.0.0-alphaPushing any v* tag triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which builds, signs, and publishes the APK. Tags containing a hyphen (e.g. -alpha, -beta) are automatically marked as pre-releases.
- Determine if location always allowed is necessary or if only while using is sufficient
- Tapping widget can launch the user's choice of weather app
- Ability to lock in a typed setting (e.g., location or text color) by hitting Return/ Enter
- Widget: condition icon, high/low temperatures, font picker
- v2: Room + Hilt migration, temperature trend sparkline widget (12/24hr graph)
- Settings page follows device theme
- More guestures on widget (e.g., swipeUp can be set to launch a different app than tap)
