I'm happy to announce QSportsEvent 0.0.4! This is the first truly usable version of the app!

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU FIRST UNINSTALL ANY PREVIOUS VERSION!

What's new?
  • Everything!!

How to use? There are 6 tabs:
1. Select: From here you can select any of the leagues that are available. Once selected, you will immediately be shown the 3:Matches tab for that league. Please note that not 100% of them work, but that is more likely to be due to SoccerDB. If there is one you want, please check with SoccerDB to see if it works there. If it does, I'll look at it in QSportsEvent.
2. Favourites: I provide a list of default favourites. You can select and remove if you don't want them. To add favourites, first chose a league from under 1:Select. The currently selected league will be added to favourites if you click the Add button. In the future you will be able to enter a URL which will be displayed in tab 5:News. I probably should go straight to 3:Matches even here when a league is selected.
3: Matches: The most recent games of the select league.
4: Table: The updated table for the selected league.
5: News: News for the selected league. At the moment is only badly displays the RSS feed for Italian Serie A from SkySports.
6: Update Scores: A link back to SoccerDB where you can update scores yourself(!). Oops! I haven't tested this at all as I didn't want to mess around with the SoccerDB data, so I'm not sure it will work. Please, be careful when you update there!

ToDo:
  • Investigate the auto-shutdown issue (This is the killer of the app. If I want it to have a future, I've got to fix this. Interestingly, it is a bug it shares with my other Qt app for Maemo, QTeachMe...)
  • Warning! The very first time I launched it after installation it died straight away. On subsequent attempts it does stay alive long enough to be able to have a look at it at least.
  • Change font colour in 'Favourites' tab to black.
  • Proper display of the RSS feed (it looked nice on my Windows version...)
  • RSS URL to be editable and working in the Favourites tab
  • Use the better application icons (it still uses the super boring one from the previous version!)
  • Add icons in the screens (flags and logos)
  • Provide for offline data.
  • Portrait mode...

Looking forward to your comments!

PS! I didn't even bother to try to upload it to Extras-Devel this time, so if you want it, it's from here you should get it.

Great thanks to those who have made contributions!

EDIT: .deb file removed as there are newer ones available.
