Score card management for my pre golf app

Monday, August 24th, 2009

I’ve finally got almost all the basic score card functionality finished.  You can now manage all the cards in the database.  Delete them… Load an old one to edit and view… create/start a new card.

Along with that I also added a drop down panel when you tap the Score Card header to allow you to edit score card / round settings.  Such as the date of the round and a title / description so the various cards are more descriptive when listed.

The score card manager screen lists each score card by date, displaying the name or date of the match as the title.  It always will display the match date time as well as icons for each of the players that are in the card.  Hopefully this will make it easy to navigate a lot of score cards.  Eventually i’ll also make a drop down selector to only show cards for certain courses and so forth.  That will have to come after I get course data editing/displaying working.

First Real Pre/webOS Golf App Test

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Well.. I played 18 holes today with a bunch of friends and was able to give my app a thorough usability test.  I’ve added a couple modifications to the score entry screen now because of it.

  1. A user can now cycle through the holes and players (if there is more than one) from the score entry screen.
  2. added a small score board for the currently listed player for easy access to the information.

I may actually add a couple things now as well.. Like a leader board type score screen to show all the players score information more simply and not displaying each holes score on that screen.

Below are a couple screen shots of the new score entry screen.  You can also tap the header and change the players name or relink the player to another contact.

Working user management on my golf app

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Spent some more time this evening working on the golf app.  I was able to fix my user management per scorecard.  You now add a generic player 1, 2, 3 and so on… and then can link the players to users in your contacts.  This allows you to track scores with and not have to everyone as a contact.  You can also still rearrange the users and also delete them (with confirmation) as well.

I will eventually add a rename option to rename non-contact users, as well as maybe add the option to start the process to add them as a contact. Also added to the menu is a debug menu item to erase the contents of the database to start from scratch for testing.  This may be available in the final product in a settings screen.

Here is some more eye candy as well.
