App for tracking football results is very needed!

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Here is a football icon set that is free for use: http://www.iconshock.com/img/icon_fr...ons_Soccer.jpg

What about using the football as app icon and change it later when the app supports more sports?

Let us know what other icons you need or what you are looking for ...

Some more Icons...

Package of national flags for the World Cup :-)

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

I wonder if this could be because of the Qt 4.6 libraries and the upcoming PR 1.2 and the 'Autobuilder' of maemo.org already making use of them.... I can also see the app in Extras-Devel now, and I have the same error. I don't have the dependency error when installing the .deb file that I have packaged myself on my own environment...

So the advise is probably to wait for PR 1.2 for 'normal' users (and let's not start a discussion about when that's going to happen as there are enough threads dealing with that already...). The adventurous can go ahead and install the .deb file manually :)

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Yep, probably the PR 1.2 issue...ok, downloaded and installed your deb file - works YAAAYYY :D

Initially it loads and shows results from Italian Serie A under Games (Online) and the Serie A league table under Standings(Online).

But when I select the SoccerDB txt as described nothing happens...
All the drop-down menus on top stay empty.
And the app closes after few minutes...

Anyway, nice start - lookin forward to testing new versions ;-)
Please keep going!

EDIT: GOT IT!
After selecting the txt file you have to click the SoccerDB button...it says "importing"...click outside the "import" window...WORKS!

Ok, since it might not be readily installable, here a couple of screenshots

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

What can you expect in coming versions?

0.0.4 GUI improvements! Especially selection of league. Include ALL leagues as per robbie's file.
0.0.5 RSS feeds and/or links (Team homepages? Can you help me find them? Wikipedia? Forums?)
0.0.6 Download of full league info for offline viewing and maybe do something creative with it...
0.0.7 Link to SoccerDB to update scores
0.0.8 t.b.d.
0.0.9 Stability
0.1 Candidate for Extras-Testing?
0.x Add other sports (depehds on availability of data...)

What else would you like?

Seems though that SoccerDB is not so good for 'knock-out' stages of competitions and thus cups and our beloved WC! Any ideas there?

PS! The absence of a timeline for the various releases is intentional :)

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Thx a lot for your work.
I'm sure it will be a great app.

If you need something specific about french football leagues I'd be happy to help

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Cool Magnuslu, I already wanted to ask for your plans for future versions, as this gives the users a better idea of what to expect and for feature requests!
Please also keep sharing information about areas in which you need or want support - I am pretty sure the community is going to help you - right guys? ;)

Btw, QSportsEvent was presented on an Austrian website: http://www.pocket.at/maemo/?p=3996

Hope that helps to attract even more attention, more testers, more support, more ideas :D

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Ok, here are a couple of thoughts from me:

0.0.4 GUI improvements!
->Yeah! Looks like this app will become quite rich of features. This is cool but requires a decently planned GUI to preserve usability...

Include ALL leagues as per robbie's file.
-> Thats cool for making this app appealing to as many users as possible, but I think last selected league should be saved to avoid users have to scroll through long lists of leagues whenever they use the app.

0.0.5 RSS feeds
-> Not sure if it makes sense to provide pre-defined feeds. Seems like a mission impossible to provide all feeds that might be of interest (different clubs, languages, news sites). Guess it makes more sense to integrate a freely configurable rss-reader.
Sure, some might say "Why not just use the standard Maemo feed reader or any other standalone rss app (where I actually have subsribed the sports feeds of interest to me already), but I like the idea of having a one-stop app for sports information.

0.0.6 Download of full league info for offline viewing and maybe do something creative with it...
-> Not only for creative use! I´d like to have all data downloaded once and the complete currrent season of my favourite league(s) stored on the device giving the ability to check results even when offline.

0.0.8 t.b.d.
-> Make it nice looking, shiny shiny bling bling, by incuding logos and pimping the GUI/App with icons, colors, backgrounds...?


What else would you like?
-> Make the app show only good results for my favourite club? :D
