Screenshots · Requirements · Structure · Technologies · License

Goalie is a Football App which provides an easy and quick access to the most recent world cup matches: with their respective matches, live scores, lineups, stats and recent videos.

This project is used in order to show how to use webviews in Android, as the widgets provided are embedded via iFrames. You can download the .apk debug build by going to the current release.

📝 Requirements 📝

This project uses the ScoreBat API to provide the aforementioned widgets and videos. In order to run this project, it is necessary to specify the API keys in the local.properties file, in the following way:

SCORE_BAT_TOKEN = "MY_SCORE_BAT_WIDGET_TOKEN"
VIDEO_API_TOKEN = "MY_SCORE_BAT_VIDEO_API_TOKEN"

These fields are later on read as BuildConfig fields in the code and created in the build.gradle.kts file from the App Module, as in:

// Read SCORE_BAT_TOKEN key from local.properties
val scoreBatToken: String = gradleLocalProperties(rootDir).getProperty("SCORE_BAT_TOKEN")
buildConfigField("String", "SCORE_BAT_TOKEN", scoreBatToken)
// Read VIDEO_API_TOKEN key from local.properties
val videoApiToken: String = gradleLocalProperties(rootDir).getProperty("VIDEO_API_TOKEN")
buildConfigField("String", "VIDEO_API_TOKEN", videoApiToken)
