Well, technology is starting to speed up with new innovations. Sony is demo'ing at CES 2017 an accessory for android devices to act as an alternate I/O monitor & interface.

Oh, OK. So if I understand correctly, it is like when you work with a group on a project, and one of the team members is designated the responsibility to see to the completion of one of the smaller goals or obtain the requisite permits that is important to the rest of the project? Thanks, MURTUMA! :)

Hi whenevere, First, you got quotes around your brackets {}, so your variables will all contain strings (text) values, not numeric. Also, I could be wrong, but I think the "dateformat" is used only when you are going to output the value (often as a text) to something like a file, or message, or spee...

Hi Markos,

It may help present a better idea of the problem if you are able to post a representation or screen shot of your flow with that "status_code == 200" condition? I don't know if I can help, but I'm personally curious as to what your "true" and "false" paths do from that stuck condition.

However, you first need to determined how you want your device/phone to know when to switch app and to which app if it is important for certain situations. If not dialog box, then a...

Hi husky, This site's Help > "Creating a Custom Widget" uses the battery level as part of its example. It used the trigger "Battery Level" , but there is a condition equivalent , which I assume is what you have tried or looked at. Both trigger and condition returns a variable, battery_level , which ...

Hi itplenus, First thing that comes to my mind to suggest would be to use a global variable to indicate which app you are currently using. The variable name needs to start with "global_", so you could call it "global_runningapp" for example. Then you could use the action "Script" to set and update t...

Hi Martin, It is not a multi-line text field, but there is no send/submit button either. It's the URL field in the stock web browser. (I noticed I failed to state correctly in the last sentence of my last reply, "the context list does not vanish [when I try to do anything else]." I've been trying to...
