A home screen widget which provides an automatically refreshed view of web based images (various auto-refresh times are available). Developed originally for monitoring CCTV or webcam images Live Image Widget can be used for a variety of other purposes where an image URL is dynamically produced.
- Support for Gingerbread (fixed size widgets) and Honeycomb and above (resizeable widgets)- Unlimited number of widgets and image definitions- Easy-add image URL via 'Share...' in Chrome / Browser- Auto refresh between six hours to five minutes (optional, can also be disabled when not on Wifi)- Three color themes and glass appearance (optional)- Short-term caching of images to reduce network load (10 seconds)- Time stamp (optional)- Holo theme on ICS / JB
On-widget controls:
- Manual refresh- Previous / Next image- Full-screen mode with pinch-zoom- Save current image to gallery- Settings
IMPORTANT NOTES
Live Image Widget caches any loaded image for TEN (10) seconds to ensure multi-widget performance and reduce network load. This means that repeatedly pressing the refresh button will only cause a refresh every ten seconds.
To use Live Image Widget outside of your local network you must ensure that the URLs entered are accessible from the Internet (that is 'through' your router / firewall), this can also be a security risk if you do not properly obfuscate your external URLs.
