[ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

I just succeeded to upload my program to devel thanks to some awesome people at #maemo!

This is a training program to help you track your training. This is not ment to be the most flashiest program out there but a program to do it's work in the easiest way. Right now it is probebly full of bugs(see some below). To make it more appealing I need to find some icons, anyone willing? As I want it to be the easiest program I would to hear how I can improve the program so if you have anything to say send a pm or write in the thread and it might come in a later version! :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

Thanks, any screenshots?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

@ Lullen, are you aware of MaeGym ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

Yes I am aware of it, but I did start before it came up and it is in python I think I heard of so I did not want to remove all my work. And second I can not install it for some odd reason so I have not been able to see more then the four screenshots. Been trying to upload this for a month or so now, was called trainingfriend before but that name was just silly :D

I'll edit this post when screnshoots are up!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

i m gonna try it!!

thanks

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

Great work!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

can t find it!!!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

I had some problems with that too before but now both me and frals have been able to install it in the app manager.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

I didnt find it in program manager ..



But this works

Open xterminal

apt-get update
apt-get install qexercise

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

thanks . .

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

firs bug . .
when you select the minutes there is no the option for the 0 so it means that you can't have a repetition under then 60 sec

i think for the kcal you sholud make \efore 6 differet choice

1 to 100 kcal
2 to 200 kcal

in this way could be much easyier!

can you also put an option take off the vibration when we push shake!!

btw I'm gonna use it!!the best one so far!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

guys no one else is trying it??
with our suggestion it can be our default work out software!!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

The minutes is fixed, uploading it later today. Can you reexplain the thing with the kcal?

I could do it for now as it has no real purpose at the moment. When I remove the button again and you shake instead of pressing the button, do you still want to have this opportunity?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

it would be nice also to have an option for it.

about the kcal i was saying to make before another catregory as

1 to 100 kcal
2 to 200 kca

then when u hit one 1 to 100 all the number from 1 to 100 . .

bc if you have to selcet something with 450 kcal you have to go all the way down and do it.in this other way you just have to hit 4 to 400 then do it.i think it s easier.

one thing that i didn't see is the option to edit food,am I missing it or it s not there?

in history can you edit the date format?
instead of 180610 on 18-06-2010 don't you think it s better?

I like the option that allows you to save the weight at the end of the exercises but seeing that most of the time we work out with different weight I'd like an option for every reps that we do.

thank you so much for considering my request!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

You can not delete/edit food as it is right now, it will come soon I guess.
I think I can change to 18-06-2010. I remember writing it without "-" becuase it was the easiest way when I was going to do something but I can not remember that I have used it :P

I have thought about the reps and talked with some at maemosweden and then we came to that you can train in three ways. Low ~5 reps, mid ~10 reps and high ~15reps. In settings you can choose how many reps low,mid and high should be and what mode that should be used.

Or now I see that I think you ment that you want to write in what weight you used after each reps? I think that it will be hard to make usable(with history and such) but I can always try to sketch on it and we will see.

About the calories you only have to scroll down to 450kcal once when you adding, I am making a pc program to making this step easier. But when you have added the product you just choose the product and how many grams you have eaten. But as with the other I will rethink it and see how it goes :)

I have removed the vibration when pressing the shake-button(and kept it as I guess not everyone wants to shake it) and added so you could shake phone instead of pressing the button so there is no need to unlock the phone(you need to shake it kind of hard and I only check the X-axis)

Edit: dates now look like "18-06-2010"

PS. Check first post for a link to post bugs.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

Ciao Lullen i had an update but I can t see any difference.

yep I meant the reps,sorry if i didn't been clear . .if you can make that work it's gonna be very helpful seeing that everyone use almost always different weights for each reps.

about the food section I think that you should also add protein carbohydrate and fat' this is very important for who take care of their diiet.then maybe we can make some diet plan as hight protein - low carbs . .etc etc

one think that i noticed is that when we do an exercise and we go back or fore ward on the screen shows always "exercise have never been done" even if they ve already been done . . i guess it s al little bug.


thanks

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise V 0.1
 

Maybe I forgot to upload it to extras been uploading a lot these last days :) At least it works on my phone so it will come.

I always use the same weights for all reps :D Maybe just me... But what do I write in the "last time xx kg was easy" if you take 5kg on the first then 4,3 and end with 2kg? And the history-list? A row for each rep? And the biggest problem, the upcoming graph... It will be really ****ed up :) It is so much easier if you just take the start weight and then you probebly know what the next weight should be if you want to go lower(just the next weight).

Yeah I know about that bug, it is everywhere when you go back like creating exercises, settings, start window and more :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

Now it is uploaded, just waiting for the autobuilder. Well I fixed two annoying bugs too. The first is the labels not updating itself etc when doing an exercise(at least it have worked 5-10 times now) and the other is the bug I mention in the last post so now everything updates even when going back to a window and not only forward!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

I got the update and those bugs are gone :-)

I like to see straight away the weight that i used the time before,maybe on the scrren "back" you could put the history for that exercise.on the screen "how to" the possibility to write something about it and also the an option to upload some images.this would be great :-) in the "forward" screen the weight that we think it will be the best for out exercise,as 10 kg was to hard to make it so 8 will be perferfect!

about the set and reps I only know that if you make it more flexible it will be better for everyone,there are many many differents kind of workout. let s have some example with 4 reps,we can do 10-10-8-8 or 10-8-8-6 or 6-8-10-10 or 4 time 10 i mean seeing that there are one milion of different way to workout and no one so far made something good as yours this software has to be helpful for everyone and we should find one way to make the exercises more flexible and with more options . .

thanks again

anyone using it?where are all the ppl of the other project?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

I added that to the todo-list. About the images you can actully have 2 for each exercise. I have been thinking about it and I decided not to have gui for it. The reason, you have to put the image on the phone. And if you have a gui you first need to put them on the phone then open the program and add the images. Why not just name them "exercisename1.png" or "exercisename2.png" and put them in the right place directly(wich for now is MyDocs)? I know this maybe is not optimal but for now it have to be like this.

Edit: It now reads the proximity sensor so it won't register a shake while being in the pocket.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

so one of my exercise is "curl" if i put put on mydocs curl1.png and curl2.png the images will be in the exercise?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

i tried already . .it works :-)

can you change the the folder in one just for your program? as qexercise??bc if I put all the images on mydocs they ll come up on all the images but if you make a folder only for your software I can hide it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

I will do it when I have time. Right now I don't know where to put it but it will come next week I guess.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

thansk . .can you also ut an option to edit those exercises already done?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

Why would you want to edit done exercises?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

bc maybe by mistake can happen that we put the wrong weight . .

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

Well I can add it to the list but it will not be a priority as I have never put the wrong weight in the last weeks and it's more important that all the basic function works.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

yep you're right!

by the way i had another update,now i can see in the food section kcal protein carbs and fat . . that's great :-)

I guess in a week your program it s gonna be a must for who workout and take care of their diet!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

So you do not want more information? I was thinking about it and I think that you only want to know how much kcal you can eat and not have a limit on the protein, carbs and fat. But I do not know really as I never used a diet program, to small for that ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

well to have a limit also for protein carbs and fat would be the best,then maybe you can make some diet plan as low carbs - hight protein etc etc

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

no one here that can make an icon for it??

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

Just played about with the qexercise and the program button doesn't do anything for me, also when I go to New Program from the drop down menu, it remains blank.

I don't take my phone into the gym with me as I'm scared I might drop a weight on it and so I'd be using this app to just keep track of my progress. I don't know if it's viable but it'd be nice if i could enter having done a couple of sets on exercise without having to shake the device or press "done" a number of times, so for example I could just press 3 x Chin Ups and it would record the sets.

Also it'd be good but would probably take more time if we could record a different weight for each set, as i don't really use the same weight for each set.

Good work overall.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

Right now it can not really be included but I like the idea tho. The problem now is that the program is getting messy. When I designed most of it it was only weight-lifting, then cardio came and program and diet stuff. I need to rework the settings at least. But what should I go for? Having diet settings under diet and weight-lifting settings under weight-lifting? Or having a more maemo settings layout with a diet, weight-lift, cardio settings button and when pressed on it a dialog pops up with specific settings?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

i guess for each section we need a different setting . .wait also the others for a suggestion.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

Right now it does not even record the amount of set you have done. Reason? To much info to store in a listview

andrew_85 had almost the same request about each sets and it will probebly come later when I have a solid program even tho I think it can be annoying to write it after each set (I think that it is almost to much to write in now :P) About the program button I should disable it as I have not done any gui for it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

Lullen I'd love to help you . . but I guess I m the worst one about programming :-)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

can I share my database exercise?it s the xml file right?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

yes its the xml file :) post it here and I'll put it on the first post

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

Here's a quick icon I just made:

http://i50.tinypic.com/2a7bos1.jpg

It's 64x64, I'm not sure what size you need it to be.

I can change the background, yellow glow colour to whatever you want.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] qexercise
 

ok I m gonna edit something then I'll post it ;-)
