Jays Assistant Widget Thing demo
Jays Assistant Widget Thing demo
Thought id share a quick video of my work so far on a personal Assistant widget theres still a lot to do and the UI isnt final but im happy with how far ive got with it. Check it out let me know what you think 😊
D5 Creation
Given how much customisation is possible with lightning launcher I’m not sure from the video what the personal assistant widget is doing. Is it possible to provide a short description of what it does? Thanks
The idea is for me to be able to quickly run my Tasker tasks and do basic assistant things all from 1 place (the widget) like id say tell me the weather forecast and it would speak the weather to me id say send a text to whoever and it would send a send a text to someone. The web browser part is so i can say things like show me the Note 8 and instead of taking me into another application like chrome or firefox it can instantly loads up the information on the Note 8 inside the widgets browser which keeps me on my homescreen as you see in the video i go to youtube and i can watch a video without ever leaving my homescreen. Its still a work in progress which is why when i type something in the bar at the top all it does is show a Toast with command: and whatever i typed.
Over the weekend i will be adding voice support to it so i can give the personal assistant side of it a little personality and instead of typing stuff in the command bar il be able to speak to it. In the video the widget slides into view but as shown i can freely move it around it so it can be placed anywhere within my homescreen like in the pic below but with my phone not having a 49″ screen like my TV its awkward to use the browser resized like this so i figured it was best to have the widget fulllscreen but slide into view when i need it. Dont forget this launcher also has a floating desktop azwell so i can also have this accessible from anywhere at all not just the homescreen. I could bring it up when watching TV playing on my xbox etc so as a quick example i can quickly search an actor in a movie im watching or something without picking up my phone or leaving the movie to open a website or run a Tasker task while playing a game.

Jay M really nice, thanks, already love it ^^
Documentation for it sux though if your building your own layout check here for new keys you can use http://hanwriting.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/change%20log?m=1
Is this mainly just a floating desktop? What’d you do to get the browser “widget”?
no its not really a widget its a custom view there a feature of the launcher i use. As for the browser i wrote it.
just noticed this is the lightning community lol this is also posted in the Tasker community, if your posting here you probably know what a custom view is.
So did you build the browser using the scripts on LL?
yup
Any chance you’d share the script for the browser? I am a full on idiot when it comes to that part, but having a floating browser always on top would make my life so much easier.
yeah sure wont be until about 12 though (uk time) the scripts on my TV and im not at home.
im no further on with it its exactly what you see in the video bugs and everything.
