Is there any widget which will add picture from the web (eg. frame from webcam) to the desktop and keep it up-to-date (automatically or manually by clicking on it).
Does anybody know something like that?
For some reason when I add a static bitmap it won't let me add an image from my gallery. I can however use images from Dropbox so it's not a big issue, just a bit annoying.
The bigger issue I have is that whenever I try to set a bitmap to open a shortcut Zooper automatically force closes. I have tried rebooting the phone and even gone so far as a clean install of my ROM (using Paranoid Rom) and still the issue persists.
I would like to use Media Utilities in Zooper but without the ability to use shortcuts I can not.... any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same issue, just registered here on the forum to adress the problem.
Tried adding bitmap from dropbox, and it worked so the problem is at least almost solved. :good:
I would like to have a zooper widget popup notification with the following information:
Contact Photo
Sender's name
SMS message
Reply button
.......appear when I receive an SMS.
I would like the Contact Photo to appear in a layer UNDER the circle in the top left corner of the background image (see attached image).
I tried to create a Scene in Tasker, using this Tutorial: (http://taskerfans.blogspot.com/2013/05/popup-sms-notifier-via-tasker-scene.html?m=1), but the contact photo does not show up for some reason. The Sender's # and message inside the SMS show up in the Tasker Scene, so I have created variables for that information, but I'd like to try to incorporate that into Zooper Widget. So I guess my questions are:
Can Zooper Widget be used as an SMS Popup w/ or w/out the purchase of the popup widget app?
Can Tasker variables for Contact Photo be used?
Is there some sort of SMS Popup example here on XDA that I may be able to use as a reference? Searching, but haven't found...

SMS Contact Photo Zooper Widget
So, I have already designed a widget that displays SMS count. I also have the popup widget app and have enabled a shortcut on the SMS count to open another Zooper widget.
This Zooper widget will display my last received SMS. I am having a bit of trouble displaying the Contact Photo.
I created a profile in Tasker
Profile: SMSpop
Event: Received Text
Type: Any
Task: txt pop
1. Test: Type - Contact Photo URI, Data - %SMSRF, Store Result in: %contactphoto (Continue Task after Error)
2. Plugins/Zooper Widget Pro Variable: Configuration: #TContact Photo# = %contactphoto
I have the following in the advanced parameters of the bitmap yet I am not seeing the contact photo appears. It actually does appear in the Scene I created with Tasker, but Tasker doesn't allow me accurate resizing and image placement like zooper does.
even tried w/out the bracketed b's and it still didn't work.

The problem here is, that Zooper only can load pictures from the sdcard. The path you get through the task you posted is an internal path instead, which Zooper doesn't currently support. What you would need to do is to save the picture in Tasker to the sdcard and then push that sdcard location to Zooper. Then this should work I think.

hmm. Didn't know that. Not exactly sure how I can pass that variable set for Contact Photo URI to the SD yet, but it's a start...Thanks.
Edit: Media Utilities saves coverart to internal memory and is able to display in Zooper.
/storage/sdcard0/Pictures/mu_coverart
sdcard0 being internal, of course.
Tried to copy contents listed in screenshot above, but Tasker is unable to locate that directory. Es File browser can't either. I'm rooted and should have the correct permissions.
Has anyone figured out a way to use an image from the web and add them to the layout in the zooper widget? Note, I want it to refresh every hour or two, not talking about saving the image to SD then inserting in Zooper. I want Zooper to use the and refresh the image from the web directly. This would be for weather or traffic images like this:

Could I use tasker to copy the image to SD every hour; would Zooper automatically refresh the image if it changed on SD?
Is there any way to cause Zooper to redraw itself externally (via Tasker for example). I'd like to have it update to a new weather map image that I download regularly with Tasker.
Thanks!

I think you have to use the same trick Media Utilities uses: save the image every time under a different name (this is important to overcome Zooper's internal caching) and then push the new path as a variable to Zooper via it's Tasker plugin. Use that variable as the input for the bitmap absolute path tags in Zooper and it should refresh the picture anytime you send it a new file path. You probably have to only alternate between two filenames but I never have tested it so I'm not sure.
