Creating a simple Calendar App - need help

Dear bros,
I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.
Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.
Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.
Thanks once again!
Cheers.

[BETA] simpleON Tablet Utility

Hello All,
I am currently looking for Android tablet owners to help me test my new utility, simpleON.
simpleON is a utility for your Android tablet that enables it to turn on using the hardware light sensor. If you have a case for your device this is a must have app. Immediately after opening the cover or removing the device from a case the screen will power on. You may also choose to automatically unlock the screen lock as well.
PLEASE NOTE:
simpleON uses the light sensors on your device, so this utility will only work in a lit room. It also requires low leveling monitoring of the sensors all the time, and this may affect your battery.

I think it's an awesome tool. I've got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I'm really interested in testing this utility.

Looks really promising! I will test it

Any progress?

Android Battery Monitor (Desktop App)(Beta!)

Hello, so I was bored that other day, and decided to make a little PC application that allows you to monitor your android battery levels when you have your phone/tablet plugged in, nothing fancy. Also, you can set up specialized alerts. It's still in beta, but almost everything should be working, let me know if you have any problems, or if you have anything you would like me to throw in

Using HP Touchpad as MAME Arcade

I have a 32GB HP Touchpad that had seen little use for a while, I got an ION iCade cab which connects via Bluetooth to the Touchpad. Although sold as (and originally designed for) iPads they work well with Android .

}
I flashed the Touchpad with Android 5.1.1 removing the WebOS first. This leaves enough space for the full Mame4droid 0.139 u1 ROMset, the smaller 16GB Touchpad will still host a huge selection of games.
I flashed 5.1.1 because the Bluetooth works well, this is critical for connecting to the iCade, or any Bluetooth controller.
TPToolbox was used to install 5.1.1
Bluez IME was necessary to force the iCade to connect the first time, after that it works every time. This is keeping my 7 year old entertained no end, and was to replace my full sized MAME Cab that had to go as it was (apparently) taking up too much space.
I'm posting this from my phone and will update it from my laptop with more detail.

Cheapest smartwatch that does turn by turn navigation?

I bought an electric scooter earlier this week:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

It's easily twice as fast as walking, so I get lost twice as fast
I'd like satnav while avoiding the phone mount (cumbersome & risk of breaking the phone). I've been searching for a few days if I could get the turn by turn instructions from my phone (because Bluetooth) and display them on a mini OLED display but I don't think I can do that.
So, the next best thing would be to print a bracket to permanently install a smartwatch on the handlebar:
So, here's when I need your advice.
Ideally, I'd look for a place on my computer or phone and ask Google maps to send the itinerary to my watch/scooter. Alternatively, I'd be ok with having to start the navigation on my phone and then have it displayed on the watch.
Internet connection (if need me) will be shared wirelessly by the phone. Phone is a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S on Android Oreo (MIUI 10).
So I think I want the smartwatch to run Android. Not sure I want it to run Android Wear
I don't have a shape preference but I want Google maps to be usable.
Budget is tight, used watch is welcome, which one would you choose?
