One of the ways SI-Droid Event can find the name and club of finishing runners is to read it from a file located on the mobile device.

You can prepare the file by yourself (e.g. by using Excel or Notepad) and import it into the app. The easiest way to transfer the file from your computer to the device is probably through a Cloud service such as Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. It is of course also possible to use e.g a USB cabel or Bluetooth to transfer the file.

The file must have one row for each runner with the following format:

  • First column - The number of the card
  • Second column - Name of the runner (both surname and last name)
  • Third column - The club the runner belongs to (optional)

Between each column there must be either a comma (,) or a semicolon (;)

A valid example of such a file:

681010, Johan Jacobsson, OK Orion
12345, Andersson Sven
3333333; Pelle Gustafsson; Klubben IK

The easiest way to create your own file like this is probably to use Excel
