Welcome to the ScoreHighlights wiki!
APP DESCRIPTION: This application is a score and schedule application. It's purpose is to display the score and schedule of sports games from any selected sport. I used HTTML get and pulled JSON data using my ESPN developers key. Furthermore, I parsed the data and used abstraction to create an instance of each unique sport (whichever is currently selected by the spinner combo box). This abstraction was important in order to process the different data of each sport such as; 9th inning vs. 3rd period or Field Goals vs. Three Pointers. The uml class diagram is described here:
Unfortunately ESPN doesn’t give a parameter for the score of the competitors for a free developers key, thus you will have to use your own developers key, or you'll have to get the score through another method. I am working on getting scores by pulling from another source, but until then this code is a draft of the app idea, and is more of a base for anyone that would like to use it for whatever purpose.
For more information on the threading and the program sequence refer to the following diagrams:
FEATURES
- Can pull events from 6 sports
- Can select and scroll through events in selected sports
- Uses OO programming and abstraction to set up display for different sports and events
- Parses ESPN data to create a base score highlights application
