Meta Widget - create widgets from any website content

META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

Thanks, please leave a review on the Store. That would help a lot!

Guys, has anyone had problems authorizing on sites? Someone left a review on the market saying that the keyboard doesnt pop up. Works fine for us though...

Any other problems i should be aware of? Suggestions perhaps?

1.0.2.1
Fixed keyboard issue present on some phones
Fixed image cache optimization (much faster now)
Fixed a rendering issue that occurs if data connection is lost
Fixed a few device-specific issues from user feedback

This could go far into making easy HTML widgets. I build websites, so this would be awesome to link to a page that displays how many people are logged in, or a general chat forum for questions/comments.
My mind is thinking about this. I would get a video up asap because it would answer lots of questions. I'm curious as to how it grabs the content.
UPDATE:
Very awesome! I got confused at first because I accidentally clicked away the help bubbles. Maybe have a dedicated button somewhere with a [?] to provide some help.
I will be buying this for sure as there are tons of website site stuff that I do that I can use this for. I imagine that you'd have to redo this every time a website changes their page layout... which hopefully isn't that often.
It would also be nice to save/share these homemade widgets!
Maybe also the ability to include more then one tablet element, like 2 columns.

I think you should put a video that shows how this widget works.I couldn't create any decent widget and it can be confusing without a video or a tutorial.

There wasn't a video the last time I looked. The widget also doesn't show up in the launcher. Your reply was insulting to me. I can usually figure things out on my own but the instructions were vague and there wasn't a video when I first saw this. Nice work anyway

click on the team blackout logo then scroll to the bottom. look for the google apps link.
follow that to the new play store app blacked out. hope that's what you wanted. btw, they
have a ton of other blacked out google apps and many other apps they've redesigned.
i would have posted a direct link to the download, but i thought linking directly to an

Am I the only who thinks that this update sucks monkey****?
Navigation has been blown back a couple of years. All the options are gone, and it is not even possible to lookup you contacts addresses anymore. This update could have been so much, and yet it turned out to be a huge disappointment. Think I'm gonna have to sideload the previous version. What a shame.

I've had to uninstall this apk as it's not working properly on my HOX with CM10.1.1 stable. I'll wait until it updates itself via the store

CM10.1.1 was Android 4.2.2 thus you will required another APK solely for Android 4.2 for you. This one is for Android 4.1.

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------
Requote from Android Police..
Update #3 by Artem: We have so far seen at least 6 variations of the APK, with some aimed at API 16 and 17 (Android 4.1+) and some at just API 17 (Android 4.2+). Some of them have mdpi, some hdpi, xhdpi, and xxhdpi resources. There are tons of variants.
What we'll do is provide another mirror for Android 4.1 owners, but you may end up with a version of the APK not optimized for your device (which means it may try to scale lower-quality textures up or high-quality ones down and ultimately either look worse or behave slower than it should).
My advice to you is to uninstall the update in a few days and reinstall the one from the Play Store, which will automatically pull the APK optimized for your device.

FOr those who installed this version:
Since Google had distributing so many versions designated for various devices, remember to grab Maps directly from playstore while available to you later..

Working fine on ViperX 3.7.4, thanks! :beer:

playstore 4.5.10 update
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973351
What's New?
One of the most exciting features packed into the 4.5.10 update is an indicator for in-app purchases. This seems to be more of a binary yes-or-no indicator (it won't give you insight into cost or quantity of IAPs), but it's great to see some kind of indication of whether the app you're about to download will be asking you to make further transactions.
The update also brings some tweaks to the review process and its related layouts. First, the Play Store's got a new layout for viewing your own review, and a large five-star selector if you've yet to rate an app. There's also an explicit "Edit" button, which should make the ability to edit your review a little more obvious.

A lot of whining and it seemed likely as it was an installable app on 4.3 with no porting required.

And it messes with the app drawer bringing it to 4 icons across instead of 5. Arggg. Back to apex

GEL is still exclusive to Nexus 5 and looks like crap on most other phones and tablets (4 icon rows). Everyone else they got a big Google Now update w/ an option to install an APK copied from another phone.

4 Icon rows looks ok on my N4 i think? Or do you mean in the app draw?

I had GEL accidentally running on 4.3. I flashed an AOSP KitKat ROM and that had it, then reverted to 4.3 and it stayed... Until I wiped cache
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

I guess, so far, I'm the only one here liking (or at least, not minding) the new 4 by 5 layout. It seems a little inconsistent at times because some app icons seem a little low-res, but I'm sure app devs will fix that sooner rather than later. Also, the one tiny annoyance I have with the new launcher, is the missing app drawer Play Store icon on the top right. I really got used to that. Oh well, something's gotta give.

Ok, found one glitch. I'm unable to activate Google Now from the lockscreen with a swipe up. Google Now does open in the background, but I have to manually unlock the phone for it to show.

I actually like the 4 columns of the app drawer vs 5 that was on the previous version much less cluttered

Here's a customizable Kitkat launcher based on Launcher3 AOSP (it doesn't include Google Now integration), it offers grid size change, wallpaper scrolling toggle, setting the default homescreen, unlimited items in folder. Only Search bar removal ain't free.

I think that's normal behavior - otherwise someone could open Google Now > Search Google > Open a result in Chrome > Use Chrome to browse to a malicious site, all without having to know your unlock pattern.
Unless you're on the normal unsecure swipe ring unlock in which case yeah I'd consider that a glitch :good:
---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------
Loving this launcher now! The only thing that bothered me about the old N5 ported version was the 5 column app drawer - looked so squashed and awkward, now it's perfect I only wish the scrolling were faster, I'm so used to Nova's "faster than light" setting, but I'll get used to it. And I think the fact that they've made the grid responsive to different screen sizes would imply that they will be bringing it to the play store eventually.

Ah. I'm not willing to switch to US English for a feature I'll probably never use, but good to know it's possible anyway.

Does anyone know if the new Google search/Google now allows you to "send hangout" rather than just "send message". Since hangouts is now the default messenger in KitKat, it would only make sense... But I already have a feeling I know the answer before asking

I can't get "ok google" to initiate anything. Language is set to US English, voice search works fine if I click the microphone icon then speak, it just won't do anything if I say "ok google".
The option for hot word detection is enabled in the settings as well.
