However its tricky and impossible with fingers. And its possible enter text into the checkbox cell. Checking more than one checkbox is also possible - should be only one!? Congrats to Milan to make it to the final - too bad your team is going to loose it Magnuslu :D |

Again, here are some notes, suggestions, ideas, feedback from me. As I got to know you, you already have most or all on your to-do list ;-) General: - Buttons aligned central/middle within the black boxes (grey area when active) would be nice. - As described in a earlier thread, I think that possibly combining the matches/downloaded matches into one screen might provide better usability and less confusion for users (same applies for table/downloaded table) - Can you make an additional menu bar on the right (bottom for portrait mode) for the in screen buttons (add, remove, download). I think the screen is big enough for that and provides better usability!? Scrolling: Scrollbars are not finger friendly or maybe unnecessary as at least I prefer in screen scrolling Select: - I think the kinetic scrolling is somewhat too sensible, it tends to jump through the list too fast. - I miss CL/WC semi finals/finals etc. in the list Favourites: I assume the small (very small ;-) ) checkboxes are for selecting the default league, doesn´t work for me Table: - When no league selected/loaded, a bright green screen appears - Scrollling only with scrollbar but not within the screen Matches: - Scrollling only with scrollbar but not within the screen - Instead of the blue borders I would prefer another layout, e.g. no borders at all, only two boxes (one for the 2 clubs, one for the result) or a layout similar to the table layout Downloaded: - Letters with 2 dots above (ä,ö,ü) are not shown correctly (they are in the other screens) - Are the thin blue borders around the data area intentional? I hope I described everything understandable, too tired to think ;-) |

Installed the latest Diablo version.
Running it from the menu - nothing happens. Running it from xterm - SQLIte errors. |

I'll add a few more: Downloaded Tables: The sorting of the teams is actually not in 'numerical', but 'alphabetical' order, this means that if a league has a team with 10 poins and one with 9 points, the latter will be shown on top. Sometimes the columns are too small to display the text/number, so you only see '...'. Downloaded Games: The sorting should be alphabetical on home team, but it is on number of goals scored by the home team. I will try to find a better way to select what round to view. Tip here though. Once focus is on the number of rounds, you can very quickly go from one round to the other by pressing the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard. And something I noticed... Actually the 'online matches' do display 'real-time' results, provided someone updates through the SoccerDB site. Anyway, I am still looking at finding a proper 'real-time' data provider... |

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
Gratz for this app. Is in your future plans to have the downloaded data for offline use?

- real-time results can have a delay or be not available at all due to its community provided approach. I think this is not really acceptable if the app is supposed to provide real-time / live scores - match details (who scored, red/yellow cards, player changes, timeline...) are not available at all. This makes a nice live ticker feature with auto-update / push and alert functionality impossible - match times seem to be not available at all while even dates are not available (/ shown?) in the downloaded data. Calendar integration impossible. - knockout stages not available... Considering these facts (and whatever I might have missed in my list ;-) ) I think finding a new or additional data source that provides the desired details is one crucial point to get this app to a certain level. 2 more things I noted: In the downloaded tabs, there is also an encoding problem for some spanish chars. There is a small question mark at the bottom of the screens...future surprise feature? :p |

Tap the secon tab from right, there is a small "download" buttons. Cick this one to download match and table data for the currently selected league/year. |

Oh, I'll reveal another problem. Portsmouth has had 9 points deducted in the Premier League. SoccerDB has this data, but I am currently ignoring it... Quote:

I am sure there are some skilled css experts out there who are willing to create a decent layout. Unfortunately I am not able to promise that I will look at it myself (with my also limited css knowledge ;-) ) due to my tight schedule... |

I meant the layout of the matches tab... As for rss, I am wondering if proper layout and rendering with a single css is possible at all. Because as far as I know they use different layouts. Most promising information I found so far is this: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/ Well, I don´t like google and I am not sure if thats what you need...!? |

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
Hi,
had a look at the css layout issue. Unfortunately SoccerDB gives us only very limited options to play with. So I think it is not possible to create a nice layout based on only simple css... Maybe someone more skilled can prove me wrong!? However maybe it is not worth the effort to go into detail here, as in the future another data source might be used or the data in matches/table is handled as in the downloaded tabs (means downloaded and stored in DB and then displayed)? |
Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
Heya, just wanted to let you know that PR1.2 is now out, maybe we can sort out something for the kinetic scrolling? :)

BTW, what did your marketing department decide on?
Your Tweet seems to be cut off...;) |
Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
I noticed that QSportsEvent was mentioned on the Maemo Weekly News. Unfortunately, they state that v. 0.0.5 is available from Extras-Devel. As those who have followed this thread will know, you will encounter dependency issues with this one as long as PR 1.2 is not publicly available.
The sad part about this is that users who have not followed this thread will have a bad first impression of the app if they try to download it from there... :( I remind everyone that you should follow the instructions in the QSportsEvent wiki page if you want to download the app prior to the official PR1.2 release. That's version 0.0.6 built on my own environment. The one in Extras-Devel is built in the maemo.org Garage environment that I have no control over. |

Hopefully the MWKN readers check this thread or the wiki to find the current version or MWKN posts are updated... Keep on rollin QSportsEvent...:D |
Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
Hey Magnuslu,
what do you think of a small "Easter Egg" in the app: A nice animation that starts whenever the users favourite team wins a match and the user taps on the score ??? :cool: Would get to watch it quite a lot at the moment with my favourite team winning the German Championship, the DFB-Cup and, sorry that I have to say that, the Champions League :D |

Not sure who proposed the dated version for MWKN though!? As for corrections, Magnuslu and myself tried to inform MWKN as soon as the mention of the old version on MWKN was noted... However, hope the confusion caused was limited and sorry for any inconveniences! Thanks @MWKN for the update (and the coverage of QSportsEvent of course)! |

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
With 36 days left until FIFA kick off is there any chance that we'll have a working Diablo version by then? I'd be happy to help out by testing.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
Ok, I've given up on CSS to render the RSS news feeds. That was probably a good decision as XSL is the better way to go. I've found several examples of XSL that transform the RSS XML format into HTML, however, so far they all fail in at least one of the following:
1) The 'webkit' browser widget available in Qt uses a version 2.0 processor for the XSL processor. All examples I've found so far are version 1.0. 2) Once I have a version 2.0 XSL file, it must work in the specific XSL processor, so just because it works on your Firerox or IE, it doesn't mean it will work on the target device... Adventurous community members maybe can give a hand here? Searching for rss2html in Google might be a good way to start. |

Will be added in 0.0.7! I have planned two other features for that release (along with a few bug fixes). One is almost there, the other one... Well, we'll see how it turns out... Worst case I'll release 0.0.7 without it in the weekend. |

QSportsEvent 0.0.7, aka. Stadio Olimpico di Roma edition, will be released tomorrow! Ok, all great products have names as well as version numbers for their releases, so I thought I'd follow in that tradition. The selection this time is made because Inter Milan won the Italian Cup at that venue yesterday :)
One of the new features is that the UI will be somewhat 'user configurable'. In Qt, stylesheets can be applied to application widgets. These stylesheets can be read from a file and be changed in runtime. There will be a .qsportsevent/user folder where you can put your own matches.css, table.css, select.css and favourites.css files with the stylesheets to be used in those respective tabs of the application. Instructions as to exactly what and how you can use it can be found in the Qt documentation and tutorial. As an example, it should be possible for you to change the background image (your favourite team's stadium? a team picture? your girlfriend??) and the appearance of the 'matches' and 'table' tables. Example: Code:
background-image: url(<full path to the image you want to use>); The other 'user configurable' feature is the rendering of the RSS feeds. You'll find this file in .qsportsevent/rss.xsl. Find samples in the attachment. Please note that the default implementation has the same stylesheet for all tabs, so I only attach one example. To be able to upload files to TMO, they have to have an 'acceptable' extension, that's why I had to add .txt. You don't need that on the device. Please note that upgrades to newer versions of QSportsEvent might delete your files that you store in these folders, so please make sure to keep backups of them in other locations! Be creative! Share screenshots, xsl, css and image files on the forum! I'm more than willing to change the default ones that come with the application with better looking examples provided by the community! Please note that this is very experimental! I have barely tested it myself! I include it mainly because I don't want to spend too much time on the appearance of the UI and prefer to concentrate on functionality. Besides, implementing the feature only took 15-20 minutes anyway... Ok, it took longer to write these instructions :) I can't guarantee that this feature will remain in the app, but I don't see any reason why not... |

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
Oh well... The quality assurance department says that QSportsEvent 0.0.7 - Stadio Olimpico di Roma is good to go one day early!
All you need to know is in the QSportsEvent wiki page. Some reminders though! 1. Uninstall any previous version. 2. You will loose all your favourites. 3. There is a new dependency on libqt4-xmlpatterns. See the wiki page for installation details. 4. This is still a beta! Expect issues, and please, report them! 5. This is still a beta! Features will change! Enjoy! |

Can you please post (again) the errors you are getting when you launch it from the terminal window? I'll add it to the Wiki and see if someone who reads it might have any clues... Anyway, I just submitted 0.0.7 to Diablo Extras-Devel (NOT Fremantle (i.e., N900), for those who might be wondering...), so it should be there. I haven't done anything that would fix this problem though, but it's always best to test with the latest version. |
