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 [...]

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. A user can now cycle through the holes and players (if there is more than one) from the score entry [...]

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 [...]

Finally… Widgets within lists.

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
I had some sort of mental block that was keeping me from getting this working.  But it is.  Now I can add golf players from the contacts list properly, add them to the list and have the integerPicker widget for each hole.  The score card will list an entire round that can be scrolled horizontally [...]

More work on the webOS golf app

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
I’ve been learning a lot about webOS programming and finally got it storing data and also did a test grabbing some gps points while out on the course last week. Here are a couple more in-progress screen shots.

HTML5 webOS Support Page…

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Looking around the webos developers site I was very glad to see this list of supported and unsupported features. Will help speed up debugging of some of my golf drawing code. http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1682

webOS SDK.. FINALLY! and code tests…

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Well.. Finally palm released the software development kit for webOS and I’ve also finally had time to mess with it. Currently just working with some of the demo apps and code. Here is a quick screen capture from it.  I think this will move along quickly if I can keep dedicating a little time to [...]

Palm Pre, WebOS, HTML5, Canvas Golf App Update

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009
I’ve got some more work done on my golf application for webOS and the pre. Here is a mockup of what the current state looks like on the pre. I’ve also uploaded a small screen capture video clip of it simulating gps movement after the break. video

Update on my webOS/pre app and some Long/Lat to X/Y code

Thursday, May 28th, 2009
Here are some screenshots of my webOS golf application I’m developing for the Palm pre.  It draws all the information dynamically from gps recorded information and allows one to zoom in and out and drag the course around. Eventually, it will do all the scoring an location tracking with distance calculations.  Unfortunately I don’t yet have [...]

More HTML5 Canvas Tests

Thursday, May 14th, 2009
Ok.. so I got around to figuring out states and the context.save() and context.restore() stuff. So test number 1 (click here for test 1) is a very simple test to try and understand these functions. And test number 2 (click here for test 2) is built on top of yesterdays posted example. Very cool [...]
