Access data online, parse it and display

[Diogo Pata]

Thought about sharing a simple app to access data from a server and display it on the phone. 

In this example we get data regarding bikes availability from Bicing (Barcelona) and display our favourite stations. 

ui.toolbar.show(false);

ui.backgroundColor(100,100,100);

var myURL = "http://wservice.viabicing.cat/v2/stations"; //Define url you wanna get data from

network.httpGet(myURL, function(status, response) {

    var ourBike = JSON.parse(response);  // Parse string into JSON format (if your data allows to)

   var ttt = "Address  -  Slots   -   Bikes  \n\n";   // Lets find how many bikes we can find in our favorite bicing stations in Barcelona

   for(var ii=0; ii<ourBike.stations.length; ii++)

   {

       var idd =  parseInt(ourBike.stations[ii].id);

       if(idd==342 || idd==143 || idd==42)

       {

           ttt += ourBike.stations[ii].streetName +" - "+ ourBike.stations[ii].slots +" - "+ ourBike.stations[ii].bikes;

           ttt += "\n\n";

       }

   }

   var t = ui.addText(20, 30, 600, 600);  // Set the text to display.

   t.setText(ttt);

   t.textSize(25);    

});

Thanks Diogo, nice example :)

I hope we can tweak your script for the new version that comes with gigantic changes!
