Graphs in app #154

Open pubmania opened 4 months ago

pubmania commented 4 months ago

Thanks for the app. It really is very nicely done. I was wondering if you have any plans to include graphs and logs for the data it recieves on the phone app?

It really will be very helpful especially because the visibility of data on librelink app is pretty basic and does not allow view of reading at the time, just graph and logs are only shown for manual scans.

I think even if the value received is stored in a simple sqlite database that will be a great value , although that may already be the case, I have not explored the code.

Also is there a possibility to include a widget that shows values in both units not just mmol/l or mg/dl... thats helpful when sharing info with fellow diabetics from across the pond. :)

Once again, Many thanks for the lovely app.

Yes, I will add a graph. I already checked some libraries for a good one. In the next version, I will add Dexcom Share. Afterwards doing some optimization and then check adding the graph...

Do you really need a widget for the other unit? At the moment I already show the raw value in mg/dl, if you are using mmol/l in the details of the app. I can also add showing mmol/l, if you are using mg/dl, there. Will it be enough? Because normally you do not need the other unit for yourself all the day!?

No not at all. As you said its already shown in raw data. It is strongly in the category of "Nice to have" and will be unique to this app if added. No other app, that I know of, does it.

As a widget is not a big deal, I have thought about adding a value only widget for the other unit. Do you have an idea, how this can be named? "other unit" or "alternate unit" or "second unit" or "complementary unit"?

Hmm as I was just hoping it will be displayed in main widget I did not give the naming much thought but if it will be a separate widget, you are right it will need a name. I think "Other Unit" might be least ambiguous.

Adding it to the main widget, will be more difficult as I have to take care for the layout with and without the other unit. But the big advantage for widgets is, that you can use multiple widgets and it is much easier for me to use just the simple value widget to show the other unit. That will be a very quick change, because I already have the related layout...

I also think the work developed by @pachi81 is admirable! I agree that the graph is still missing. For families using GlucoDataHander as a follower, the graph makes a significant difference.

Yes, the problem is, that I have developed the app mainly for myself :-) And I do not really need the graph, because it is the past and not really relevant for the future. Only if you want to analyze your insulin affect for meals and so on, but then you need a better tool, where you can see all events.... I only need the value, delta and trend-arrow of the present value to make my decisions... But that is my personal opinion. But you are right, especially for followers, it makes really sense and also for other people, who are using the graph for their decisions.

Another vote for the graph.
I used the g-watch watchface and widget for my own daily monitoring. The mini graph on both the widget and the watch are great for at-a-glance review of the recent past readings. I love that your app allows us to to choose the shortcut for the widget too. The graph is the last thing to make it a superior replacement for me.

Thank you, @pachi81 for the great work in any case. I know its difficult to find motivation to implement features that you don't intend to use yourself ;)

Thank you for your feedback! I already checked some libraries for graph implementation. For the next release (1.2) I already planed to add some smaller wishes for alarms and so on. After I have finished this and nothing important happens, I will start the work for the graph. Yes, I do not really need it for my self, but I know, a lot of people are using it and I'm interested in the development part for creating it 😉
