Android app for training ISSF pistol.

[Lindy]

I have earlier tried to make a python programme for pistol training (ISSF) disiplines.

This :

is another try. It is called Standardpistol, but you can try all timed disiplines. It is an simple app, but will hopefully help . Since I didn't find anything similar , I had to make it myself with app inventor. It uses while loop for time control, and check vs clock. Perhaps there are better algoritms ?

Feedback is always helpful and appreciated.

Do you know if this app would work on a nokia 5800 XpressMusic ?

I need an ap that will allow me to dry fire at home in the times needed for the disipline.

I do not think this will work. My app is written in the MIT app inventor. It is translated to java ,I think, and then written in a file which only android phones use. Your phone uses Symbian as far as I can tell.

If you look at
http://www.targetshooting.ca/
at the pistol training section you will find several mp3 you can use . It takes a little more time to use than my app, but are useable I think.[/url]

Just tried your pistol-app. Found it to be usefull, butt......

It would be fine if comands were: (ex. for sportpistol/centerfire duell):

1. Announcing discipline ex."Duell" 2 seconds pause.
2. "Load" hereafter a pause off approx. 5-8 seconds (for shooter to insert mag.+ chamber first round and aim on target. (Shooter SHALL NOT mess with phone, with a loaded gun!)
3. "Attention" followed by SEVEN seconds pause. (Shooter then lowers pistol to 45 degrees.)
4. "Start/beeb" 3 seconds.
5. "Stop/BEEB" 7 seconds. Loop 4+5 five times in all.
6. "Unload" Important!

All this makes pistolshooters familiar to comands at competitions. And SAFETY!

Have the commands recorded(in a STRONG voice) and made to MP3 (makes the app smaller?)
Make app possible to SD-card-transfer.(pistolshooter use their money on shootingequipment, not android-phones with big internal storage-space.)smily.
Put it on AndroidMarket/GooglePlay.

Thanks for the app, hope I didn't sound negative, cause I'm not!

Should be one full minute after "load" command before "attention". Might as well train the same way matches are conducted.

Thank you for the feedback.

As for using this app on Symbian, I do not know how to make it work , sorry.

Thanks for the tips on sound , I will see what I can do.

About just 10 sec delay before ready or attention - that is a choice I have made. I have a program written in python (works on LInux) with 1 min after load. In my practice sessions , I usually load the gun and prepares, then press the chosen time interval on the app. One could argue that I should have chosen 60 sec. Perhaps I will make this an optional choice, if I am able to.

( I have only worked with MIT app inventor for 2 weeks).

I have changed the app a bit. My voice is not deep , so I still have to use a computer to generate it.

There is now a choice for loading time, and which series you want to practice. The choice is marked with a green button. You get a beep to signal pressing start button, then the chosen load time , then the preferred shooting time.

Duel series has its own button. Hopefully this makes practice better. Feedback is still appreciated.

Interested in the app. Do I have to register to download it?

The file-sharing site is down for some reason. Send your email address as a pm, and I will send you the app .

First of all, thanks!

Here's my two cents...

1. A stop button to interrupt the series without having to wait for it to finish. And a bar showing the progress of the series (especially in 150 and 20 seconds)
2. The first command should be "Load" instead of a beep. Keep the option for the 10 and 60 seconds.
3. After the command "Attention" the command "Start" should be replaced by a beep. Keep the stop at the end of 150, 20, 10, 8, 6 and 4.
4. For duel the start and stop commands should be just beeps. Stop at the end of the 5th shot.
5. A loop option would be great especially for the RF and duel.
6. Finals timing, both 150 seconds and 50 seconds. Command "Load", then 5 seconds after "Start", then 150 or 50 seconds then "Stop"

IF you would like more suggestions just say, I can probably work out a couple more! :)

Good Job!!!
