You also can parse the soccerdb data to create a 'csv file' that you can use in a qt component. It shouldn't be that hard.

Just take a look here: http://www.aragon.ws/soccerdb/getmatches.php?id=714

From a non developer-view:
The flexibility and ability to design the layout seems pretty limited with the gettable/match.php method. E. g. I have no idea how logo´s can be implemented into this view!?

Doesn´t Robbies approach of "loading, storing and reusing" the data provide more flexibility - feature and layout wise?

Please let me know what you think - ideas and suggestions very welcome :D

Actually, I have yet to include the background in my app, but when I do, I might need a separate one for portrait mode. Possible?

considering all the coding and testing work for an app that is useless after just 4 weeks ;-)

BUT:

The more I think about it, the more I realize how much I miss an app for tracking football results of the major national leagues as well as Champions League...

This is really a must have for me!

Who else wants to have a football app?

absolutely ;)

Yes. once I get that far I'll compare what is best; to parse the HTML data or to download the .ts formatted league files. To some extent it depends on how updated the data in the .ts is and how big a download they are.

Some more icon requests...

I need some small (I have to find out the exact size requirements) icons to use as the tab headings. They should be simple. The headings I have now are:

Select (a check box maybe)
Favourites (stealing the fav icons from Firefox? or add a star to the select icon?)
Matches (some minuscule text ___ - ___ 1-1?)
Table (similar to matches)
News (rss icon or something 'newspaper like'?)
Update scores (same as matches but with a + sign?)
Might need more, but that's all for now.

Well this was meant to be a first draft for further work by and based on the community.

But of course, here is a portrait mode version.

The soccerdb parsing can be done online so it's always up-to-date.

Here's a php script that parses the data and puts it a simple format.

demo is at: http://gnista.xs4all.nl/soccerdb/results.php

Code:

<?php

    $url = 'http://www.aragon.ws/soccerdb/getmatches.php?id=714';



    function get_web_page( $url ) {

        $options = array(

            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,     // return web page

            CURLOPT_HEADER         => false,    // don't return headers

            CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,     // follow redirects

            CURLOPT_ENCODING       => "",       // handle compressed

            CURLOPT_USERAGENT      => "spider", // who am i

            CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER    => true,     // set referer on redirect

            CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120,      // timeout on connect

            CURLOPT_TIMEOUT        => 120,      // timeout on response

            CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS      => 10,       // stop after 10 redirects

        );



        $ch      = curl_init( $url );

        curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );

        $content = curl_exec( $ch );

        $err     = curl_errno( $ch );

        $errmsg  = curl_error( $ch );

        $header  = curl_getinfo( $ch );

        curl_close( $ch );



        $header['errno']   = $err;

        $header['errmsg']  = $errmsg;

        $header['content'] = $content;

        return $header;

    }



    $rawdata = get_web_page($url);

    $content = $rawdata['content'];



    $content = str_replace("document.write('", '', $content);

    $content = str_replace("');", '', $content);

    $content = str_replace(chr(10), '', $content);

    $content = str_replace(chr(13), '', $content);

    $content = str_replace('</td>', '|', $content);

    $content = str_replace('</tr>', '#', $content);

    $content = str_replace('&nbsp;','',$content);

    $content = strip_tags($content);

    

    $rows =explode('#',$content);

    $result = Array();

    foreach ($rows as $row) {

        $columns = explode('|',$row);

        if (count($columns) == 2) {

            echo 'date:' . trim($columns[0]) .chr(13).chr(10);

        }

        if (count($columns) == 7) {

            echo trim($columns[0]) . '|' . trim($columns[2]) . '|' . trim($columns[3]) . '|' . trim($columns[5]) .chr(13).chr(10);

        }

    }

?>

Thanks for adding another option. I'm only a bit worried to add dependency on yet another site as it adds another point of failure. As it already is, if SoccerDB is down, QSportsEvent is toasted as well...

Might need more, but that's all for now.

As ordered the icons for the menu (size is 32x32px by now).

1. Select
2. Favourites
3. Matches
4. Table
5. News

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?

And

6. Update scores
