Introducing my team's (in development) scouting app, ThunderScout

[19lmyers]

New alpha release: Alpha 0.4!

This version adds:
- A data selection UI that allows you to delete individual matches
- Some basic sorting criteria to the data view
- A quick settings toggle for the Bluetooth server on Android 7.0 and up
- A round icon and launcher shortcuts on Android 7.1

Bug fixes:
- Counter views in the scout UI now behave properly on orientation changes

The new release should be on the Play Store (testing link) within the next 24 hours. Available on GitHub here.

New screenshots can be found here.

After testing Alpha 0.4 I found a bunch of very annoying bugs involving the new quick toggle. I ironed out those bugs for the most part (and fixed some startup errors with the Bluetooth server as well), and since I've already published two alphas in two days, these fixes will have to wait until the next alpha build...

...which might be in two days from now! xD

EDIT: The sorting modes are also bugged. The result is sorted lowest to highest, which is the opposite of the intended behavior. A fix for this will also be in the next alpha.

I've figured out how to make an Amazon developer account.
When the app launches in 2017 I should be able to have it uploaded to the Amazon App Store as well as Google Play- this means that those of you with Kindle Fire devices won't have to manually install Google Play Services to use the base app functionality!

I've released a new alpha containing the first iteration of the Feed: A reverse chronological timeline of what the app does, right on the home screen.

As always, if you have any questions or comments I'd be happy to hear them.

[19lmyers]

A new alpha has been released: Alpha 0.6!

This release adds a much-requested feature: Match numbers!

The scouting flow has been reworked and improved to accommodate the addition of match numbers and alliance colors.

You'll also find alliance colors tinting various screens of the app

Please send me your feedback on this release! This addition is a major change to the scouting flow, and I'd like to have input on how I can further rework the data viewing screens to accommodate it.

Finally, suggestions, bugs, and ideas about where ThunderScout can go next are always welcome!

I'm hard at work on the 2017 update to ThunderScout. More to come...

Not trying to bug being just over a week into season, but are there any new developments to the update for the steamworks game?

Here's the dataset I'm working with right now:

Please tell me what you think. I'm hoping to have the rest of the app updated fairly soon.

EDIT: I've since added a missedHighGoals attribute to both auto and teleop.

EDIT 2: I've since changed teleop to store a list of FuelDumpAmounts instead of an average FuelDumpAmount.

Luke, thank you for the update I look forward to hearing more about your updates for this years game!

[robocodepodcast]

Luke I was making a list of all things I would like to track for the game this year and I am curious if your app will track the same.

Covers the same bases as the dataset I linked to previously, though how are you going to count every single ball that goes through the low goal?

[robocodepodcast]

That is the difficult part I don't think we can.

That's the problem I've had to tackle with this update. I made a thread about it somewhere on here, and there's been quite a bit is discussion about it. I suggest you read it.
