on{X} for android
New Nexus 7, time for a Nexus 4?
I recently bought an Nexus 7 to play with and had to try one of the best products created by Microsoft, ever. onX lets you automate almost anything on your phone. Microsoft have created a couple of different recipes for you but you can easily create new ones using their excellent API.
- Text a random good morning message to my boyfriend every work day at 8:00 AM
- Text “I’m in a noisy place, will call you back” when I’m in a noisy place and miss a phone call
- Launch the Foursquare application when I am at my favorite restaurant for over 10 minutes
- Turn WiFi on when I arrive at work
- Remind me to take an umbrella every day the first time I unlock my phone, if it is going to be rainy
Above is just a couple of predefined recipes. If you want to write your own you need to login to their site and create a new recipe. My first attempt at an recipe gives me the current wheather on unlock but only after 60 minutes.
var onLocked
device.screen.on('off', function () {
onLocked = 0
var now = new Date()
onLocked = new Date(
now.getFullYear(),
now.getMonth(),
now.getDate(),
now.getHours(),
now.getMinutes(),
0,
0
)
})
device.screen.on('unlock', function () {
var timeDiff = Math.floor((new Date().getTime() - onLocked.getTime()) / 1000) // Minutes
if (timeDiff > 60) {
feeds.weather.get(
{
location: 'Linköping',
locationtype: 'city',
unittype: 'm',
},
function onSucess(weather, textStatus, response) {
var messageBox = device.notifications.createMessageBox('Weather info')
messageBox.content =
"It's " +
weather.now.temperature +
'C, Rain:' +
weather.now.rain +
"% It's " +
weather.now.sky
messageBox.buttons = ['Ok']
messageBox.show()
}
)
}
})
The above is currently not working.
onX actually makes me want an Android phone. Nexus 4 just came out, right?
