But I am pretty sure that usage of the logos is not free :-( (Well, hope I am wrong on that)

This is a perfect task for those who want to help out with the development of this app: Find a free source of logos that I could incorporate into the app :)

A second task is to help me with the design of an application icon. The one I have is too embarassing to show, but I'll do it anyway... I'm sure you'll understand why I need a new one :)

If there are any other free sources for background files, animations, images, whatever to spice up the UI, I'll be happy to have a look as well.

One more request from you out there. I could add 'news' from some RSS feeds for the leagues/teams as well. Any good sources for that?

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 
Hi,

The imminent version of QSportsEvent will include links to leagues from the following countries:
England
France
Germany
International
Italy
Netherlands
Singapore
Spain
Sweden
USA
The selection is purely made on what I think will be mostly requested (plus my own personal preferences, Sweden and Singapore...).

I haven't done all simply because it is quite tedious to extract all information from the SoccerDB site, more specifically http://www.aragon.ws/soccerdb/site/ids.php.

If you want me to add more countries in future releases, I ask you to provide an attachment to this thread with a text file with the following sample format:

Code:

England|Premier League|2009-10|680
England|Premier League|2008-09|553
England|Premier League|2007-08|391

The way I did was to copy the table into Excel and from there to export to tab delimited text file and exchanging \t for |. I also had to trim some white spaces.

Thanks for your understanding...

Like this if I am interested only on the next season of Finnish Veikkausliiga (starting on friday)?

Now of course we would also need a function that allows us to input/upload/refresh results to SoccerDB - I mean, we are online as it happens, or not? :-)


BTW: A good app for FIFA World Cup Results would probably be Dexter, the teletext viewer. Most national TV stations have very up-to-date results in Teletext, also for international matches (at least the Swiss have).

Absolutely! I'll look into that once the display of existing data is there.

Correct. In its basic version, it will be very similar to what Dexter (or any appropriate website for that matter) could deliver. It's just a matter or choice and convenience...

Do you only want the league id's or the team id's too?

would it not be possible to tie in with a online bookmaker maybe if they payed u a small some to have links to betting on live games

this may not be possible but thought of as a source of income and way to expand on the app itself

At the moment only the league IDs will do.
