Two new AHWeather IconSets available in Google Play Store

Two new IconSets for AmberHome Weather are available in Google PlayStore.

Plain Light from MerlinTheRed at DeviantArt. A really nice IconSet completely in grey. Download it here from Google PlayStore or search it directly in the app in the IconSet settings screen.

Second is the Plain Colored IconSet from MerlinTheRed at DeviantArt, too. Similar to the Plain Light IconSet but with more colors. Download it here from Google PlayStore or search for it directly in the app in the IconSet settings screen.

I think these are two very nice IconSets.

Many thanks to MerlinTheRed for his permission.

AmberHome Weather app is working again!

It seems that the guys at yr.no site fixed the problem with the xml weather feed.

AmberHome Weather app is working again.

Sorry for the confusion.

YR.NO weather feed currently down!

The yr.no weather feed is currently down because of technical problems and so the AmberHome Weather app does not work, too. I don't know any more than the message they have on their home page: We are experiencing technical difficulties on yr.no right now. Please try again in a few minutes. Sorry!

I hope they will fix it soon.

I'm very sorry about this.

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.
