[Announce] MeeGoal - N9/N950 Client for OpenLigaDB (soccer-database)
 

Hi,
this is my program for the coding competition 2012. It's a client for openliga.db, a german site for soccer data, primary for german leagues.

Let me explain the idea behind this:
When I got my N9, I searched the store for available programs to get soccer results on my phone, but no programm satisfied my needs. Just at that time I found openligadb. I liked the idea behind openligadb, you can create your own league and everyone is able to commit results. So I had to write a program for this, and here is the actual version. I know, there are some bugs and UI-improvements, but I think it's time for first presentation to get feedback.

Here is a short description of the features:

• supported leagues: German leagues (1.Bundesliga, 2.Bundesliga, 3.Bundesliga and DfB-Cup), Premiere League, Serie A, Primera Division
• Standings of each league
• Goalgetters of each league
• saving data, so you have access to all results of the actual season
• selectable automatic update interval
• Notification (EventScreen and Sound, Vibration due to problems not working so far and maybe notification on LPM comes in one of the next updates)
• favourite team: Select your favourite team and get a special notification if your team shots a goal
• billboard standby integration

Some words on the UI:
I wanted to stay with the swipe-expirience so you can swipe from the startscreen, the actual matchday of the selected league, to the right (standings) or left (goalgetters). If you swipe up until the ball rotates, the previous matchday will be loaded, if you swipe down, the next one will be loaded. If you load a matchday for the first time, it takes a little bit longer because it catches the whole matchday. Next time local data will be used, if there was no change on openligadb on this matchday.
If you click on a game more infos will be shown, if these information were entered at openligadb.

This one I have to point out: All the data is gathered by people in there sparetime, so don't be disappointed if your league is not so good/fast supported. Feel free to join openligadb and provide the info yourself or make some promotion. From the expirience of the first matchdays I know that the german leagues are very well supported, the results/goalgetters of the other leagues are provided sometimes hours after the matches had finished.

Ok, that's it for now, feel free to give me a feedback.

Greetings EmaNymton

Ok, thanks, need to fix this, as a workaround try do delete the whole folder with

Ok, Dave999's suggestion convinced me. :)

I uploaded a new version (first post), which fixes some bugs and adds internationalisation. So if you speak another language than english or german feel free to translate the application into your language.
In /opt/meegoal/i18n you will find the file base.ts. You can edit it by hand or use QtLinguist. If you need any help let me know!

Ok, little update:

First the sad news:
I'm not allowed to use the logos of the german leagues :mad:, so I replaced all of them.

I made some improvements on notifications, so everything should work now as expected.

You find the link to the deb in the first post of this thread.
