Team 111's scouting system: WildRank

[Short Stuff]

For the android app which file to I need to have debug to test on my tablet. Yesterday I tried and it gave me a warning saying the target module was undefined.

Assuming you are running andriod studio:
To open project File>import project>"project_folder">build.gradle
To change USB root: Andriod.Java.org.Wildstang.WildRank.Andriod.utils. MatchUtils

To get a tablet to connect to android studio: THIS LINK

To deploy code onto device (have USB drive set up first): connect tablet, make sure it is recognized under the andriod device manager, run project (toolbar, green play button), select connected device and your tablet, profit.

NOTE: in its base form it will not look like much, you will need to edit some XML files to be game spicific. You will also need a game.wild file (example one I made for this years game located HERE)

Hope I helped (and information I gave was correct)

Just wondering, is permission granted for the ideas in this app to be ported to iOS? I am on the dev team of Team Driven's iOS FIRST Scout App.

Absolutely! If you borrow significant ideas/functionality, we just ask that you mention us if you ever release anything.

Is there a way to change from using a flashdrive to using a microSD card?If there is what changes would I need to make?

They behave the same way from the file system's view, so I don't see why you couldn't. You'd just have to change the path of the flash drive, which I described how to do a few posts previously.

I am now having a problem with the app showing no data on all screen with no other elements. Do you have an idea as to what I can do to fix this problem?

Can you be more specific and give me some more information? What have you tried and done so far? Can you post a screenshot of what the screen looks like? Can you check if the flash drive/micro SD card was properly configured? Any information you can give me would be helpful.

[Skyehawk]

I am having a similar problem, I will post screenshots in a bit, I just have to try some messing around with XML files to see If i can fix it that way.

[EDIT] Here are some screenshots of various errors within the wildrank android app. I am still unable to get any information up on the match scouting screen.

Oh boy, that's a lot of problems...

First of all, have you configured the flash drive with the desktop portion? That's required to get match/team data onto the tablet. If you could set up a new flash drive from scratch and post the contents of it after you configure it, that would be helpful. By the looks of it, the teams transferred correctly, but the match list either wasn't created by the desktop app or the parsing of it on the tablet failed. Once you get that working, that should fix almost all of the problems.

As for updating data/calculations, if you read the documentation on GitHub, you should get a pretty good sense of how that's done. Feel free to ask any specific questions if the docs don't explain it well enough.

When I get home today I'll check out the desktop portion myself to make sure it's working properly. Which event were you using to configure it?

[Skyehawk]

Here is what I did.

1) used desktop application to create a flash drive with the appropriate folders in it, configured for Central Illinois regional (2015).
2) put a game.wild file in the USB root (copy of the example game.wild)
3) installed a fresh copy of the android app on my tablet, with the correct root directory for the flash drive
4) unplugged tablet from computer plugged in USB OTG and hit "Load tablet data from USB drive".
5) Entered super user mode, went to main menu, match scouting. Blank screen (similar to the other empty screens that I posted previously).

Contents of the flash drive (all folders/files are in the root directory):

Thanks for all of your help.

Ah, your choice of event explains everything! The app is designed to function only for events with a non-zero number of matches. Attempting to use it with an event without any matches would cause all sorts of unexplained behavior like you're seeing. The match schedule for the 2015 Central Illinois regional hasn't been published, so that explains the behavior you saw. If you want to try any part of the app out, you can use an event from a past year with matches to do so; any regular season event should work just fine. I forget if the year that the desktop app uses to search for matches is something you enter at runtime or if it's hard coded. If it's the latter, you may have to dig around in the source to find exactly where it is so you can change it to a previous year.

[Skyehawk]

Just for reference:
The year is not hard coded, it is a runtime variable.

Was it just an oversight to not have a messagebox pop up and warn about zero match events? I did consider this being a source of my problems, but that was as I was ironing out other issues, so I probably dismissed it.

I will try it with a 2014 season regional and see what I get. Thanks for the help.

[EDIT] Is there any other cause of these issues, I am still getting similar screens, I am using 2014 regionals (Wisconsin and Northern lights). Do you know of a regional that for sure works (has a posted match schedule?)

[EDIT EDIT] I used the 2014 Midwest regional, and met with some success. Ill post again when I have some better questions.

[EDIT EDIT EDIT] Met with further success, I believe the app is functioning as intended. I have 2 questions. Will the app work with the practice matches on Thursday (because there is a published schedule)? And is the next step to start rearranging and renaming things with .xml files?

When you did this did you just load the data from the previous regional and sync it to the flashdrive?

I just used team 111's 2014 regional ( I figured they tested with it) and synced that to the flash drive. I then set up the freshly installed app with that flash drive.
