Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

Is there a hangup with the API, or whatever it is that dishes out the data to the app? I can't seem to get it to update the events for 2015 to coincide with the TBA website or the FIRST site. My app is currently showing events in weeks 2-6 that the website as well as FIRST are showing should be weeks 1-5. Pressing refresh gives me a neat twirly with no change. Running 1.3.1.

Thanks!

That's a known bug. We should be able to push a fix in the next update.

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

The events should be correct, but the week numbering is off. Like Nathan said, we'll push out a fix soon.

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

Sounds good. Just happened to notice when I was checking for a new Regional to see if it has posted for Volunteer access. Love the app.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report and the nice words! Stay tuned in the next 24 hours, we're trying to push out some pretty cool stuff for Chezy Champs :)

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

I just pushed v2.0 out to the beta channel - this release includes the long awaited ability to favorite and subscribe to things. You can opt to receive push notifications when match scores get posted to TBA. More types of notifications are coming soon.

Providing the roll out goes well, this will be pushed to the main channel in the next few days.

Happy competition season - we just hit 2,000 installs!

Sorry about the lack of data today, FIRST's API was not working - all the data should appear once that gets fixed up.

In the meantime, make sure you're testing out the myTBA features, including notifications! We want to squash all its bugs as soon a possible and provide an awesome experience!

Something minor but when I'm at the currents events tab it just stays blank and won't show anything.

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

Try updating the app. Thanks!

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

yeah i'm having the same issue, updating doesn't seem to do anything

edit: my tablet was derping, got it working now :D

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

That's strange, the newest version shouldn't even be saying "Current Week" (this should have been fixed in #322)

Can you go into settings and see what the specific version number says? If it's anything less that 2.1.7 (see attached screenshot), there is a newer version available. Check the Play Store.

If you don't see an update in the Play Store, you can download the newest apk here: https://github.com/the-blue-alliance...droid/releases

If none of those things fix it, try clearing app data (or uninstalling and reinstalling).

EDIT: Happy you got it fixed!

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

We've noticed crashes in the app for Android 4.x users. Not to worry, we're reverting back to the previous release, the update should hit your device in an hour or two. The affected version is 2.1.9 - if you're running that, please update.

A fix containing our updates for week 2 should roll out shortly thereafter. Sorry about that :(

If anybody would like to join our beta testing group to try out new features first and help us catch errors sooner please join our Google+ community and opt in to the channel. We greatly appreciate anybody who signs up to help make a better user experience for all.

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

Thanks everybody for helping us hit 5,000 downloads this weekend! Hope y'all like the app, and please let us know if you have any ideas for making it even better.

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

Hope everybody liked using TBA for Android during this (almost whole) season! If you're interested in some stats about the app's usage, I posted some over on Facebook.

I hope y'all are excited for champs, because we're working on having our most-requested feature ready - something you've come to know and love on the website (and something that recently got a new twist this year). Stay tuned!

Re: Announcing The Blue Alliance for Android
 

I'm x-posting this from here, because apparently Chief doesn't include the TBA subforum in the "Recent Activity" section on the portal by default.


The Blue Alliance has always been in constant evolution, driven by feedback from its users and countless hours of work from community volunteers. We've heard your suggestions loud and clear, and we are thrilled to announce that we are bringing GameDay to our Android app!

In GameDay, you can view the full list of webcasts for the current week. Although you can't (yet!) assemble an 8-video mega-view, clicking a webcast will deep-link you to the appropriate streaming app if it’s installed, or let you view it in your browser.



As few weeks ago, we added a live ticker to the web version of GameDay. We received a lot of positive feedback, so we're bringing it to Android too. With the live ticker powered by our friends at Firebase, you’ll be able to keep up to date with all the action in real time, with the ability to filter updates so you only see what you want. We currently limit the list to the 25 most recent updates, which should be more than enough to stay on top of the latest match results.





We'll be rolling out this update over the course of the next few days in time for champs, so keep an eye out for it. As always, watch out for any bugs and report them if you find them. We'll be watching Chief and Github and fixing bugs as they're reported to give everyone the best experience possible. Thanks for your continued support, and good luck at champs!
