Hi Josh,
I just downloaded the program today, and it is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to build and share it!
I really like the radar color table you are using for reflectivity. Is there any chance you have a PAL file you could share or even just the color numbers so I can match up my GRLevel2AE color table and have the same one on my computer and phone?
Thanks again!
Hello Josh,The latest version 3.5238 has been uploaded to the URL below as "wX.apk". The next oldest version has been renamed to include the version number:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9OogdTO1kXqYzktaHZzdGdQSEk&usp=sharing
Android 4.2 or later is required.
Changes:
- Additional icons added to actionbar in various activities including share icon and "add to playlist" ( 3 stacks of paper with plus sign )
- For Android 5.0, notifications now have a dark blue background surrounding the icon.
- New setting "OU for sounding", enable the sounding/hodo activity ( accessed via tapping current conditions on main screen ) will show sounding graphic from OU as opposed to SPC. The OU sounding site is in beta so recommend to validate the time stamp on the graphic is current. SPC remains the default.
- Bug fix, generic images activity was using menu from NWS mosaics after conversion to Support library in last release
- Icons refreshed from pure white to off-white to match Android 5.0 built-in icons
- Upgraded navigation drawer ( used in models, SPC meso for example ) from v4 to v7. Only noticeable change is additional animation and icon by default goes to parent activity instead of opening drawer.
- Minor additions to text to speech NWS translations for abbreviations
- In models added the following:
NAM4KM: prec_irsat
GFS: 925mb wind speed, temp, theta-e, rel hum
GFS: 850mb temp advection ( 850_tadv )
NAM: added Moisture diverg. ( con_mdiv ) Dewpoint depression ( sfc_dwpd )
NAM: 850mb Temp Advection ( 850_tadv )
Please let me know if you have any issues or suggestions on this new functionality.

The latest version 3.5281 has been uploaded to the URL below as "wX.apk". The next oldest version has been renamed to include the version number:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9OogdTO1kXqYzktaHZzdGdQSEk&usp=sharing
Android 4.2 or later is required.
Changes:
- With Android 5.0, Google deprecated the various navigation modes of the action bar and also the split action bar ( on phones showed a top and bottom toolbar ). wX has been overhauled to use the new "toolbar" and in many activities there is ( once again ) a top and bottom toolbar. Additionally unlike prior version of Android the top/bottom toolbar is also used on Tablets. Please let me know if you would rather have just one toolbar at the top and I will consider making this a configurable item. As an FYI, if you long press over an icon it will display the same text that would show as if in the overflow menu.
- In the default WXOGL radar provider ( OpenGL based ) if you pan or pinch-zoom the toolbars will automatically hide. You can single tap or double-tap to get them back.
- Black theme is now supported again. White theme is being worked on next.
Please let me know if you have any issues or suggestions on this new functionality.
thanks,
Josh
