New Android Scouting App

[the_zanman]

I will add a 'remove option' option to the app. Also, last year I went to several competitions and some had different structures than others so I was unsure as how to organize the competition structure.

I also saw the graph force close reports and will add a quick fix in the next update but am not sure if it will truly patch it. What phones were you experiencing it on?

And thank you very much, it means a lot to have ones work appreciated!

One of my students is bringing his transformer prime tomorrow night to see how it looks as we haven't tried it on tablet yet. Aside from ability to edit or remove criteria my head scout is really happy to toss the 4 notebooks and clipboards in the trash.

But for anybody seriously planning on using tablets/phones to scout make sure you have a voltage inverter to run power in the stands, or otherwise have access to readily charge said devices, I don't think my phone would make it to lunch.

Oh let me know how it runs on the tablet! I do not have any so I don't know how it will turn out. Google re-did some of the graphics elements for their new tablets but it should be compatible.

I kept phone battery life in mind when designing the app (as few network communications as possible) but smartphone charges do go fast, so that is a very good point, thank you!

Looks good so far on both a Transformer and a Transformer Prime.

I ran it on a Xoom running ICS and it looks fine. In landscape mode, the icons are all bunched up in the top left; maybe not the most desirable, but it's not bad.

You should read the document regarding use of the FIRST logo. What you're doing is a no-no. You can't omit the FIRST text and you certainly can't cover the log with another graphic. That's why we created our own logo for FRC Spyder.

Awesome, thank you!

Yea, when designing the logo something in the back of my mind remembered that using the logo was iffy, but I am in the middle of changing the app page images and will change the app icon itself with the next update.

The plan is to release it in time for the first week of events.

Hello again everyone,

Hope FRC Scout has been good so far for your guys, first competition soon! In case any of you were having issues with the system, here is a guide I wrote up for it http://team2168.org/index.php/resour.../250-frc-scout

Also I will be adding a password changing system to it soon, but in the mean time you may email me at z4nm4n@gmail.com and I can manually change your password from there. Thank you for cooperating in the meantime!

Hello again everyone

Just wanted to let you all know that I will be at the NYC Regional this weekend, so if you want to ask me/tell me anything about FRC Scout I would love to hear it (ask for Zack/Programming Captain from 2168)

Good luck this weekend to all!
