Hi all,
Afvalwijzer 3.4 is available on ToonStore. Quite some changes this time.
I started implementing a file with extra waste dates to be added to the waste provider data as requested here on this forum but ended up with custom categories and icons as well.
With this you can basically use the app not only for waste dates but also for any sort of calendar reminders, birthdays, wedding dates, whatever......
The extra files can either be hosted on any webserver or placed locally on Toon.
Changelog 3.4:
- fixed bug where arrow disappeared at 00:01 hours in dimstate
- fixed timing issue at inital startup which sometimes showed an empty tile till 18:00
- added an option to read an additional file with extra dates which will be merged with the dates from your waste provider
- added an option to read custom images to display these extra dates in dim state
- added an option to read a json file containing the extra dates descriptions
- prepared for a change in storing user settings. This version will write (not read) all settings to
a new file userSettings.json containing all individual user variables in JSON format.
The next version will delete all individual settings text files and continue with the JSON file only
Result looks like this (some snippets):
- screenshot_1.png (35.25 KiB) Viewed 9402 times
- screenshot_2.png (25.76 KiB) Viewed 9402 times
- screenshot_3.png (27.39 KiB) Viewed 9402 times
When you want to store files locally on Toon use "file:///root/waste.txt" for instance instead of "
http://192.168.1.192/waste.txt" in the config screen.
The file with extra waste dates should have the following format (either Unix or DOS text files):
YYYY-MM-DD,X
YYYY-MM-DD,X
etc...
Where X = : (built-in fixed descriptions)
"0" : Restafval
"1" : Plastic/Metaal/Drankpakken
"2" : Papier/karton
"3" : Groente/Fruit/Tuinafval
"4" : Snoeiafval
"5" : Textiel
"6" : Steen en puin
"7" : KGA
"8" : Groot vuil
"9" : Kunststoffen
or "A" through "Z" for custom icons and descriptions (use capitals)
In this example the file with dates is called waste.txt on my webserver and contains this:
Code: Select all
2018-02-14,7
2018-02-15,7
2018-02-16,A
2018-02-16,B
If you want to use custom icons these should be placed in the folder mentioned in the configuration screen and named A.png, B.png etc.
This same folder should also contain the file "iconLabels.txt" with custom descriptions in JSON format.
In this case the file iconLabels.txt contains
Code: Select all
{"A": "Verjaardag A", "B": "Verjaardag B"}
icons folder on the webserver containing this:
- screenshot_4.png (6.52 KiB) Viewed 9402 times
When creating your own icons you could start with the existing ones from the ../wastecollection/drawables folder.
Create png files with size 126 x 126 pixels, and make sure you make the background transparent otherwise it doesn't look good on the dim screen.
If you have designed nice icons for birthdays, weddings, metal waste collection or whatever, feel free to share them here.
As always, comments and feedback are welcome.
Kind regardz,
Toonz
