Voicemail and Exchange Email Extensions about dashclock

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thanks for the feedback! Voicemail is a bit difficult as you don't have access 
to an unread count as a developer, but only an indicator as to whether there is 
any voicemail at all.

For exchange email, that's something to look into for sure, but I'm not sure 
there's a public API for that.

A vanilla mail client extension would be great.

Thanks a lot for the great app, it is just brilliant!

Spent a bit of time looking into this now, as I wanted to make an exchange 
plugin. There seems to be no apis to work with the exchange app. And there are 
different exchange apps based on provider (for example HTC has their own 
thing). Making a plugin for this would involve making all the exchange login 
logic yourself, and having a seperate exchange login for the plugin. 

Unfortunatly that's a bit outside the scope of what I planned on building on a 
friday night ;)

maybe exchange unread count could be picked from a widget, I have nova launcher 
prime, with teslaunread plugin. With that combination I can view the nr of 
unread exchange mails from my exchange mail in the stock/vanilla mail app.

Somehow it uses a widget to get the count, the option had this text:
"Email Widget
Supports Google or Motorola Email.
Unread count is read off the widget"

After checking the checkbox, you will get the prompt which folder you want to 
display , maybe a simalar mechanism could be used for a vanilla mail 
extension...

That sounds very interesting, just sent him an email with this issue link. 
Hopefully he'll tell us how he's doing that reliably :)

I'm the dev of Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread.

TeslaUnread is carefully using reflection and private APIs to get the unread 
count text off of the widget. This is probably not something Roman wants to do 
simply because it's unofficial and not guaranteed to work in future android 
versions, but on top of that it's also quite complex.

It's possible a future update of TeslaUnread could include dashclock extensions 
for Google Voice, "Email" and the other counts TeslaUnread has that DashClock 
doesn't. No promises or ETAs or anything on that though, but it is something 
that has crossed my mind as DashClock is popular with users of my apps and 
they'd appreciate the value add of DashClock extensions from TeslaUnread.

I'd love a dashclock integration, and I know a lot of others would too.

On a side note I've seen a lot of developers (myself included) looking for apis 
to access exchange/htc mail/etc. If you opensource that part of the api I 
suspect you'll get a lot of pull requests if something stops working on weird 
firmware versions. That said it might also encourage the developers of the 
original apps to take steps to prevent it.

Thanks for chiming in on this :)

I would LOVE to have the default exchange email app supported. I already know 
about anydash but im already using it for 3 other apps =(

You should email the developer of anydash and ask them to add support for 
additional apps.

Apex Notifier has Exchange support for Dashclock, it steals the unread count 
from the widget as suggested here. It also supports the Samsung email client 
and K9.

Let's get back to voicemail.  I'd be ecstatic if I could get a notification via 
Dashclock when I receive a new voicemail.  I don't need a count, just that I 
received a notification.
