About Dekko, I really love this email client too. Unfortunately I cannot implement a widget for it, uHome's permission are very very limited.
But it can be implemented by the Dekko programmer. His application can interact with my desktop and I will be happy to help him with this

I opened a feature request.

@keneda agreed I would love to see this being merged into master at some point.

Little update :

I managed to find some icons with transparancy (this way you can change background colors @domubpkm :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: ) in /usr/share/icons, i used thoses from suru/apps/scalable, i let them grey for the moment, but color can be changed with Gimp for instance...

I also managed to find some additional URLdispatcher compatible apps, wich are dialer app, openstore app, uTouch settings, contact app.

To add one of them, add an internet widget, and go to "Link URL" field, erase it, and add instead (edited since new findings) :

document:// for launching document viewer
dekko:// for Dekko mail app, or mailto://xxx@xxx.xxx for opening new mail form to setted address
addressbook:// for contacts
openstore:// for openstore
settings:// for uTouch settings
dialer:// for opening dialer, or tel://01.02.03.04.05 for opening dialer with number pre-composed, each number need to be separated by one dot (in this example, it's a french number pattern), "tel" with no number do the same as "dialer".
message:// also exists for opening messaging app, but it opens it with form to create new message, i did not find a way to open it the same as if you open it from drawer/launcher, but if you add contact name or contact number after it + a third / it will open the contact thread (thanks @domubpkm for the finding) : message:///01.02.03.04.05

@keneda No time to look at it now but thanks for the info.

if you add contact name or contact number after, unlike with "tel", it will do nothing else

I have found : message:///06........
Use 3 /

Another app URL-Dispatcher compatible :
document:// for launching document viewer

Feel free to add some if you find or know one ^^

Edit:

WOW, great, thanks, i'll edit ^^

Edit 2 : i ran a test, and the 3 "/" can be used with some others, for instance, settings:///cellular will directly lead to the cellular settings!
I tried before only with 2 "/" and it didn't work, thanks to you now we know ^^

@Keneda Message and Dialer: it is not necessary to put a dot after every two numbers. The numbers can follow each other. Try.

That's the way i tried at first, and the number prompted in the dialer app had nothing to do with the one i put. :confused_face:

Edit : i just tested again, if i do tel://0102030405 the dialer app opens and prompts 18495...

@Keneda

dekko://

works on my BQ E5 HD !!!!

Keneda

@domubpkm Great
Just checked the Dekko url-distpatcher, and there is also mailto:// , i assume it allows to add a mail address after to open new message form to the choosen address.

domubpkm

@keneda Yes. I think no dot is necessary when the phone number is in contact list. That's why it works for me and not for you.

Keneda

@domubpkm
No, i first tried with my mum number not the dummy one i put on a public forum ^^
And my mum very IS in my contact list :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:
I think it might instead be linked to the SIM and its provider.

@keneda Is a link to File Manager possible?

Keneda

@josele13
Sadly i have not found any URL-dispatcher entry for file manager, although that's one of the first app i searched for.

domubpkm

Hello @Flohack Do you know if there is an URL dispatcher for file manager or not ?
Me and @Keneda, we think currently the answer is NO, but we want to be sure. Thank you.

Keneda

@domubpkm
As i told i searched for an entry but found nothing (searched all files in uTouch with terminal and on git repository).

You can try yourself :

On your device, open terminal and then type find / -iname "*url-dispatcher*" -type f 2>/dev/null.

On file manager git https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/filemanager-app/-/find_file/master just enter "dispatcher" or "url-dispatcher".

Try on terminal git to see what it gives when there is one : https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/terminal-app/-/find_file/master

But, let's hope, maybe i'm wrong and @Flohack will save us lol

@keneda I will add these sketch to the new release

Keneda

@pavelprosto Oh i see that your repo's being updated (edit : and kind of resetted?), that smells an update on openstore soon ^^ (edit : already updated ^^ )

New version to upload in Open Store and GitHub:

The api of the application was updated on GitHub for everyone
The position of the widget settings button has been changed so as not to overlap with other elements.
New template browser for links. Added many new
Added Analog Watch Dial
Added Dutch translation
Added time update slider for weather widget

What hasn't been fixed/added yet

Landscape mode does not work fully
Widgets still do not support localization(only the program itself can be translated)
Later I will add a browser for icons for the link widget
There was a wish that the stickers could be of any color.
