[Announce] Caltrain app - WIP
 

Time for a new app: In my daily commute I got bugged by the lack of even a half decent Caltrain schedule program for Qt phones.

So, announcing the brand new caltrain app for Maemo, Symbian and Meego.

It's still a work in progress, so all I have is screenshots of the Harmattan build, so here goes:

Re: [Announce] Caltrain app - WIP
 

I'm sorry I didn't get that. Is there some caltrain schedule called China metro?
This app is an interface for the caltrain schedules.

Harmattan deb.
This will go to the Ovi store soon.

Next up: Maemo and Symbian builds

Thanks - but for me, Maemo and Symbian builds are just a matter of tweaking my build scripts.
I should be done in about a day or two.

All builds will be available on Ovi - for free.

Caltrain app is on the Ovi Store: http://store.ovi.com/content/196098

A new build as well as the Symbian version will be built soon.

Thanks for the app. I stopped using Caltrain a while ago, but this app will be definitely useful for people in bay area. I installed on harmattan and this is what I noticed.

- The icon might look better if you somehow removed that white background (and just retain the black glyph).
- I clicked Select for both From and To, but the station names are not populated. I can only see the header Stops.
- Caltrain has a habit of not running on schedule and not informing people about it. You must have used the crowd-sourced caltrain twitter feed (https://twitter.com/caltrain) where anyone can check the delays etc. A screen to display this feed (as an RSS feed perhaps) would be a great feature for your app.

Thanks for trying it out!

I agree. I'll try making it transparent so that the pearl(?) background is visible.

Wow. that makes it basically unusable... Maybe I forgot to add the database to the deb. Did you pick up the one from Ovi ?

Exactly! Another caltrain co-traveler said that exact same thing.
I'll get to it as soon as I manage to make the basics work....

I tried the deb first and then from ovi. But I doubt the ovi re-installed the package, because I didn't get any prompt.
