PluginDocumentation
There is an example 'plugin' that demonstrates how to use the plugin interface in Torque here: [[1]] - this is a basic example, have a look at the AIDL file for the API documentation
There is a forum post here: [[2]] that explains some more about plugin development
Torque also responds to intents - you can send or listen to the following intents:
org.prowl.torque.REQUEST_TORQUE_QUIT (Properly shuts down Torque and related services) 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)
Torque also sends an intent when an Alarm PID is triggered:
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
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 ['TorqueScan'] plugin to get a full list of these IDs
