There is an example 'plugin' that demonstrates how to use the plugin interface in Torque here: [[http://ian-hawkins.com/torquescan.zip]] - this is a basic example, have a look at the AIDL file for the API documentation

There is a forum post here: [[http://torque-bhp.com/forums/?wpforumaction=viewtopic&t=438.0]] that explains some more about plugin development

Torque also responds to intents - these can be used with other apps such as [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm Tasker] - you can send or listen to the following intents:
<pre>
org.prowl.torque.REQUEST_TORQUE_QUIT    (Properly shuts down Torque and related services - this must be sent as a broadcast type intent)

org.prowl.torque.OBD_CONNECTED          (Sent when Torque connects to an OBD2 adapter)
org.prowl.torque.OBD_DISCONNECTED       (Sent when Torque is disconnected from the OBD2 adapter)
org.prowl.torque.APP_LAUNCHED           (Sent when Torque starts up)
org.prowl.torque.APP_QUITTING           (Sent when Torque is about to quit)
</pre>

Torque also sends an intent when an Alarm PID is triggered:

<pre>
org.prowl.torque.ALARM_TRIGGERED  (Sent when an alarm PID is triggered)

[intent bundle contents]
  String - "ALARM_NAME"  - The alarm name
  String - "ALARM_TYPE" - The type of alarm trigger threshold ("MINIMUM" or "MAXIMUM")
  double - "CURRENT_VALUE" - The current value of the PID/equation the alarm is referencing
  double - "TRIGGER_VALUE" - The trigger value for the alarm (below/above this will trigger the alarm based on the alarm type)
  String - "UNIT" - The unit that the PID uses

</pre>
 
If there is an intent you would like to see, feel free to email me at [mailto:piemmm20@googlemail.com piemmm20@googlemail.com]

Here is a list of some of the extended information Torque provides which your plugin can call on, or you can use for custom themes - a full list of what torque supports for your vehicle can be viewed using the TorqueScan plugin:

Extended PIDs are as shown by their 'PID' in the PID editor (Settings->Manage extended PIDs->tap on a PID for more information).   You can use the [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torquescan 'TorqueScan']] plugin to get a full list of these IDs
