AmberHome Weather Version 2.3.2 in Google Play Store

AmberHome Weather V2.3.2 is released in Google Play Store. This new version has some general changes.

First of all, I have removed the slide menu and changed it to a simple overflow menu. I think this is more compliant to the Android Holo theme. Another thing is that the targetSdkVersion is now 14 which changes several things for the app. The widget gets a border around it to fit the size with other standard Google widgets and hardware acceleration is enabled which makes scrolling and page flipping amazingly smooth in the app. Some other minor design changes were made to better fit the Holo style.

Unfortunately I decided to remove the blue theme. I will concentrate more on the Holo look and feel.

Main reason for releasing this version was a bug in the yr.no XML weather feed data. Sometimes the symbol/icon is missing from the data for the 6 hour interval. This let the app display a questionmark in the widget and in the app for certain times. This is fixed in this version. Additionally after 6 pm the night icon is shown in the widget and the 10 day forecast preview.

A nice new feature is the direct access to the hourly/3-hour forecast by tapping on the current condition or one of the 6 hour entries on the "Weather today" view.

Currently I'm working on automatic location updates and some new widget layouts.

Hope you like the update.
