What is CD Alcoyano football team? The CD. Alcoyano is a football team

from Alcoy, a city in Spain. The club

was founded in 1928 and has always

played in the National league.

Nowadays, it’s playing in the second

league but in the 50s it spent a few

seasons in the top League. Later on in

other periods of the last century it

moved the Second League, Second

League Group B and indeed, spent

some years in Third League.

Why the CD Alcoyano needs an Android Application? Nowadays people have mobile

phones connected to Internet. IT

technologies offer the fans the

opportunity of being in contact

everytime. This is the best chance to

2

allow them to have all the information

just in time.

What does the project contain? The project contains two different

parts. The first part is an Intranet

Management Control System where

data is saved and where the stuff

manager can control it. The second

part is the Android application that

will be published in the Android Play

for free, so all the fans will be able to

use it to know the last news, receive

alerts about the goals and other

options.

The applications have been

developed with SherlockActionBar

technology to allow people with old

mobile phones having the same user

interface.

The System has a website developed with Bootstrap,

PHP, Mysql, jQuery, jqGrid and CSS where the stuff

managers can control all the data published in the

application. The application includes different

information about the history, last news, football team

players, social networks, match info, sending

notifications and so on.

The server saves which applications want to receive

information about the goals every soccer day. The

application offers the user the possibility of checking

which football team wants to receive goal notifications.

Otherwise, information about matches or classification

league is automatically manipulated in a Cron Process.

An always-updated external server, which has all the

football information, is queried every moment. Server

requests contain XLM data with the last news of the

league or matches. Once the data is received it has to

2

pass the last process where it will be compared with

previous data saved in the database. If there is any

change a SQL query will be created to be downloaded

for the applications in the following updates.

Meanwhile, if the change is because of a goal an

Android Notification will be sent to all the applications

that have checked one of the that teams.
