Android widget

[FrankThompson]

It is just the one widget (for now). Once you "cramp down" the width enough it should hide the info on the left side.

Doesn't work for me on my pixel 6 pro.

Very nice and thanks a bunch for the hard work. Here's a screen shot of mine on a Samsung S21 Ultra 5G ...I do have a problem with the truck

getting OTA updates and that's reflected in the app.

I found a method in Ford's API to get all vehicles associated with the user's account, which has led to some big organizational changes in the app. Users with only one vehicle won't notice anything major, but users with multiple vehicles will only need a single login to access the status of all vehicles supported by FordPass. This means the app will now define a "profile" as an individual FP login (and I'm assuming somewhere out there, someone has more than one).

If you are using the app with multiple vehicles and would like to help testing the new implementation, send me a DM and as soon as I can I'll send you a link to a beta version (if you're interesting in testing it but only use it with one vehicle, feel free to jump in feet-first also). I'll be creating a Issue on GitHub specifically for feedback on this.

Thanks for reminding me of this! I stumbled on this endpoint almost a month ago and even added the functions to the iOS widget but forgot to go back and finish the changes to the backend of the code.

Version 2022.04.29 just uploaded. There are a lot of changes, most that you won't notice (hopefully). The main ones you will notice are described in the change log.

I've attempted to make the app import your old data automatically once it starts. Should it crash instead, then (a) please send me the saved logcat crash file and (b) clear the app's data/cache and do a clean install.

It's not working for me at all. I have tried clearing data, but I might try a complete reinstall. If not I'll PM you some logs.

I know I'm probably the outlier here with 2 cars, but this is what I saw: It recognizes the 2 cars and pulls the data (I think). But when swapping from 1 to the other, after a few seconds the car icon in the top right is swapped to the Mach E icon and nothing works.


I'm gonna try a complete reinstall (I don't know if previous beta versions I've tested messed anything up) and let you know.

As far as I know, you're the only one with multiple vehicles.

If a fresh install doesn't help, save your setting and send me a copy.

So I'm taking this survey for "early access bluecruise" program. Take a look at this question:

My answer is NONE of these! This widget was the one that would give the OTA update every step of the way (scheduled, downloaded, installed, etc). The Fordpass app was always behind and I think it only gave a message at least 1 day after installing the OTA.

Where is my "Other" checkbox!!

I just filled out the same survey, and had the same thought

Why does the app sample show deep sleep "no" but my widget doesn't show this...not a no or a yes

I removed the "deep sleep" text; the alarm icon will turn red with a "z" in it when sleeping. I just haven't gotten around to updating the app sample images yet.

I should have mentioned it on this forum, but on the Mach-E site I created a poll for a new name for the app. If anyone is interested in participating, I can create an new thread here (or you can just vote over there).

Just check that you can use the word "Ford" in the app name if you that route.

Maybe add "Ford Vehicle Widget" to your poll. It may make it more findable in app searches over status widget. ymmv.

You're right. I'm avoiding using "Ford" in the name for that reason, although there seem to be other apps which do use it in the name. In any case, I did add it as an option in the poll.

Version 2022.05.12 just uploaded. The changes are described in the change log. I wanted to make everyone aware of my plan to release a version of the app (still free) on the Google Play store in the next one or two weeks. The only internal differences between the versions will the Google Play version won't have checks for app updates (since that will be handled automatically), the package names will be be different, and the icon will display a different vehicle.

Once the app is officially up on the Google Play, I'll either post here to make it known and/or put a link in the change log.
