I thought you meant using the "flashing" widget for non-communication purposes...

@RudiP said in auto flashing widget:

Since I currently have no communication via BT connection, this widget should flash independently.

Using an de-synchronized widget to show communication status is not a good idea. In case of communication loss, the widget would still flash, giving the user a wrong impression that the remote device still works...

If you need to show that the connection is established, your remote device should drive a widget periodically (e.g., toggling the visibility or opacity). Or you can use "@sls" and "@hls" commands that show / hide the loading screen.

@RudiP said in auto flashing widget:

I have an application where the processor is struggling to establish communication.

Can you explain what exactly you mean by this?

PS: I am glad you like the GUI-O app! Please consider rating it on the Google Play Store... Every rating helps 🙂

At this time, any typing on the GUI-O application on the phone is without result. It would be nice to have a widget that would alert the user that the system is working. The easiest would be a flashing Status indicator. Since I currently have no communication via BT connection, this widget should flash independently. It would be even nicer to have a rotating gear widget. Thanks for understanding. PS. the GUI-O application is great.

This is a good idea. It would make sense for some widgets to support blinking. I will think about it.

Which widget do you have in mind? Currently, you can blink any widget by toggling its visibility. Did you try it?
