Android Widget for Mach-E [Less Complex]

[Astraea]

Quick question! Can anyone tell me what this means? Is this the update we all just got/should be getting, 2.3.0?

Does this mean my left and right front doors are unlocked, car is unlocked, and alarm is off?

Is the car off? As indicating by the green power symbol?

Would be great if all these things were explained more thoroughly in the introduction.

Also, my OTA info is showing "not available". I did receive my car only 2 weeks ago. Should I be able to see this info soon?

Love the new layout, looks really cool.

The icons to open FordPass don't seem to work for me, but I've put this widget and all my EV apps onto a separate homepage screen in any case so could be nice to hide those altogether in settings?

Great work though, thanks!

You're interpreting it correctly. As @DevSecOps has said, sometimes the status updates lag because the car hasn't pushed anything to the servers. I can't tell you the hoops I've had to jump through to get any indication a window is down. That being said, sometimes fields report nothing (as in return null), and in those cases it's not whether the app should leave the icon alone or change it.

Looks like the widget is taking up a 6x4 space on my Galaxy S9+ but not using it all.

First off, I'm loving the work @kennelh and @DevSecOps have done here. This is life changing!

One thing I'd love to see is unlock, lock, and remote start buttons... Does the Ford pass API have that functionality?

The Ford API does have that functionality but it wasn't a priority for me since that's already available in FordPass. It's on the to-do list.

Sorry if this has been addresses already, but how does the authentication work? OAuth?

It's good, really good, but... my life has not changed as a result.

Works on my Z-Fold3. Appreciate it sir!

I pushed the latest version (2022.01.27) to GitHub this morning. In addition to bug fixes, the three most noticeable additions are:

• You can now choose the "charger" app used on the widget (to the right of the FordPass icon). In the three dot menu, pick "Choose Linked Apps", then select the app. I picked a number of apps which I thought would be useful. If you don't see yours (a) let me know what it is, and (b) for now, under "Settings", toggle "Allow any app to be linked...": it will then show all the apps installed on your phone
• From Settings, you can also select whether you want the widget's background to be semi-transparent
• On the main instruction screen, the widget image now has a big "SAMPLE" stamped all over it

Sorry if repetitive. I downloaded the simpler one but I like this one better. How do I get this one?

It's on my Github page. Scroll down to the "Downloads" and get the app-release.apk.

Sorry, not sure what's going on with it. Even on my phone, two different launchers (Pixel Launcher and Nova7) think it's two different sizes.

@tonesto7 or @DevSecOps can probably answer in more details, but yes it's basically OAuth2.
