[Announce] Pedometer Home Widget in extras-devel
 

Hi,

I have just uploaded Pedometer Widget to extras-devel. Once started it will count the number of steps you have made using the accelerometer and will try to approximate the distance and the average speed.

The widget is written in Python, garage site: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/pedometerwidget/
.deb package: http://maemo.org/packages/view/pedometerhomewidget/

Screenshots: ( widget + settings menu )

Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!

Is there any chance you might integrate this with GPS? Using GPS (when available) to calibrate the distance, you could make the pedometer very accurate.

I experienced strange behavior of my other widgets after installing this one. At first half of my widgets disappeared, when I put them back on the screen, others disappear....

Is there a limit of widgets one can have at the same time?

What other widgets are you using?

Foreca, Facebook, Home IP, Calendar, FM, Mediaplayer, sleeper, Desktop command execution, Touch search.

They are covered over all 4 screens.

Nice. Would be good to show how many calories you lost also. =P

Re: [Announce] Pedometer Home Widget in extras-devel
 

I have the problem you've mentioned when I close the widget. I'll try to figure out what's wrong.

I was thinking of that, will add it in the next release :)

Is the data backed up when the device is ?
How about week/month summary graphs (on home screen) like http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/...ometer_for.php ?
Is the data easy to export ? It's be good to be able to get the data off the device as a plan text file, for instance. Or have the widget email it every N days etc.

Thanks for the widget, but opening the settings menu and trying to press some of the buttons causes my presses to "go through" and hit whatever is on the desktop, behind it. In my case, I had shortcuts behind the settings window so I ended up inadvertently moving them around or hitting their close buttons...
