[Q] Launching a smartwatch app from a widget - Sony Smartwatch 2

Hi,
I am working on a new watchface (using the AnalogClock class from the Sony examples) and trying to get it to launch one of the built in apps (such as the timer or calculator) if the user clicks on a certain part of the widget. I can capture the click with
@override
public void onTouch(int type, int x, int y) {...}
but I cannot work out how to launch an app from there - does anyone know? I guess it must be some sort of Intent.
Thanks

Hi guys,
I was looking for an app to rename multiple files (as I downloaded many .mp files on my mobile through website and their names were like: music1-WEBSITE.COM.mps, music2-WEBSITE.COM.mp3, etc) I wanted to remove all the -WEBSITE.COM from my directory using mobile itself.
I downloaded an app called: FILE TOOLS - using it you can simply rename the files in one go
Also to add if you are looking for missing cover arts, try this - COVER ART DOWNLOADER
OP updated..

[Q] setting variables

So I was wondering if there is a way to set a variable to something, then change it dynamically based on an event. Here is an example of an end goal with what I mean. So you make a widget that shows the forecast and all items have some form of
[bo]$#TMU_ISPLAYING#=1?0:100$[/bo]
To hide if media is playing (when combined with media utilities). I would like to take this a bit further and say, if I have that same widget, a forecast widget and down in the corner is an icon, by clicking that icon(the event) it changes the value of a variable in zooper, and the widget can change based on that. Much like with the TMU_ISPLAYING, except with this, your click changes the variable and not an outside app. Does anyone know if this is possible at all, even just a very random workaround solution would be cool, I just want to be able to change a widget based on a click. Thanks in advance.

This is possible with Tasker. Zooper has a built-in Tasker plugin so you can send data from Tasker to Zooper and I have used it for the same thing you are trying to do. If you are used to work with Tasker it's really easy to setup but if you are new to Tasker, it might take you a bit to figure it out. Here is a link on how this generally works: http://www.jagwar.de/en/zooper-tasker-variables/. To get you started, you can find my task here. To use Tasker tasks from Zooper, you set them as a Module OnTap action via the Tasker shortcut action.
Hope this helps you out enough to get you going

[Q] How do I/Can I copy and paste from one widget to another?

I have two home screens using Themer. Homescreen1 uses Zooper Widget to display various categories. I'd like for this Widget to show up on Homescreen2, but would prefer not to have to completely recreate it from scratch.
Is there a way I can copy and paste a widget from one homescreen to another? Essentially, I'd like to clone it and reuse it elsewhere without having to spend hours in the Zooper Widget preferences each time.
Am I missing something obvious?

To do something like this, you need the Pro version of Zooper. It will not work with the free one.
Just save your widget as a template (the disk icon in the action bar), create a new Zooper widget and load the template from the SD card folder. You have now "copied" the widget. If you do changes to the first one, you'll have to re-save and re-load though.

Nokia Launches Z Launcher for Android

Nokia has launched its own launcher for Android smartphones called the Z Launcher, a simplistic launcher that learns how you use your phone and promotes your favorite apps.
As mentioned earlier, the Z Launcher aims for a simple approach by promoting the apps you’ve used in the past on the home screen. There’s the usual app drawer but instead of displaying apps in a grid it shows a list which takes a bit of a hunting when you’re looking for a specific app. However, you can easily find apps or contacts by scribbling the first few letters right on the home screen. Watch the video below to see it in action.
