While I’m still working on the next version of Rainy Days, I just pushed out an update for Rainy Days 1.9.
On some devices the settings screen could not be accessed and I’ve fixed this in 1.9.1, with the help of Karl Pearson, who was so kind to report the bug and test the fix.
Update: I noticed some crash reports in the Market console which I have fixed in 1.9.2…and that broke other stuff, so now 1.9.3 is out :)
Yet another update for Rainy Days, my weather radar application for Android! This update has a few new features and bugfixes.
First of all some display flickering that occured on the HTC Desire is now fixed. This also fixes any flickering you may have when running Froyo. I’ve also updated the app for Froyo (Android 2.2) so that you can choose to install the app on the sdcard.
More screenshots are in my previous posts about Rainy Days.
You can download Rainy Days by scanning the barcode below, or by searching the Market for “Rainy Days”.
Update: I’ve released 1.8 to fix a force close issue when loading the European overlay.
Another update to Rainy Days, my weather radar application for Android! This version features a few new options and fixes.
First of all, it is now possible to change the opacity of the clouds using the on-screen slider, for example if you like to see the map better. This is a per session setting, which means that the normal opacity is restored the next time you start the app. There’s also a new option to show your location on top of the radar images if you like. Another change is that Rainy Days is now scaling properly on high dpi devices like the Droid and the Nexus and on lower dpi devices such as the HTC Tatoo. Short summary: it should now look a little bit better :) Also, on high dpi devices the image quality for Scandinavia and the US will be slightly better, reducing blur that was in the previous versions. Rainy Days will automatically select the higher quality images if your device supports it. I hope you like this new version! Also if you like other areas to be added, let me know!More screenshots here

On certain devices such as the HTC Legend the display showed heavy flickering when “show my location” was enabled. Since I enabled this by default in 1.5, I figured that it was a good idea to fix this, so I replaced the standard MyLocationOverlay with my own.
Other than that, no new stuff :) Let me know if you like to have an area added to Rainy Days!I’ve released an update to Rainy Days, my Android application, now at version 1.5. Compared to the previous version this version adds some more coverage for Hawaii and Spain.
Besides some bugfixes I changed the top bar to indicate the progress of the animation, added some warnings if you have disabled network location, and made “show my location” enabled by default as some people didn’t see it in the settings screen.You can download Rainy Days from the market using the barcode below or my searching for Rainy Days.
I’m getting some reports of Rainy Days force closing on start up. Usually this is related to custom roms which are missing some classes. On loading the Google Maps component, Rainy Days throws an error, causing the Force Close error.
From the above I hope that it is clear that this not a situation that I can fix as it is an issue with the ROM. See this thread on Android developers for more info: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/9781d2…
If you think you are seeing a different issue, let me know.
I’m happy to announce a new update to Rainy Days! This version adds new features, improvements, more coverage and bugfixes. One of the new features is the so called stop-and-go mode, where you can pause the animation by tapping the screen once.
Once paused you just swipe left to go back in the animation (earlier) or swipe right to go forward (later). You can also use the trackball or the menu to control the animation.
I also made a small demo video and as some people say: I’d love to show it to you :) I have fun with this new version!
Market barcode: I’ve released another update for Rainy Days in the Android market, this time adding Scandinavia coverage, courtesy of vaderradar.se.
This new version also has other improvements and fixes, like new about screens and better management of the download cache. Also credits for the images are now displayed on the map in the bottom right corner.
Here’s a quick preview of the Scandinavian coverage in Rainy Days!
I’m getting some negative comments on the fact that there’s no rainfall image data available yet for a lot of places in the world. I hope you all understand that I’m doing this for free, in my spare time and that getting new image data is not as easy as it seems. There’s a lot of work into making the data show perfect on the maps, while dealing with the challenges of a resource limited device.
I understand however that some of you might be disappointed that Rainy Days is not (yet) working for your area, so I have now limited the availablity of my app to the countries that do have at least some coverage. As I add new coverage I’ll add more market locations. Please do comment on this, because I really like to hear from you. Thanks!
