Need help

I am trying to set up a widget that displays the day of the week only for that day. The next day would appear in another location within the same widget and so on.

Welcome to Android Forums.

Your description is pretty sketchy. Display the day of the week only for the day? Appear in another location within the widget?

What have you created so far?

Sounds to me like you want a custom built app set for your specifications.

I am making a widget to display the time, date, weather, battery.......
I have 7 individual boxes for the day of the week. I am trying to have the current day appear in it's designated box while the other days, also in their own designated boxes remain blank.

The key to learning Tasker is to start out simple and nibble away at enhancing it. Can you currently display the day of the week? Do you have anything working in the task yet?

If you long press on the task name you can choose ... settings / Export / Description to clipboard and then paste them into a post here.

This flashes the current day ...
