The application contains only a handful of my beers included.
This is just to minimize the application size. The whole collection of my beer labels is available here
You can use the import command (unzip the file before importing), as described in the tutorial, but ensure that you exported your data to a safe place.
Afterwards, you can remove beer labels (and breweries if you choose so), and start your collection using existing countries (and breweries, eventually).
Countries form
Beer Labels are clasiffied on a country and brewery basis. The initial screen of the application shows
country flags including the number of beers collected for each of them. A total number of collected
beers is shown in the top right corner.
Application Menu
Application menu provides the following commands
- Import - Imports a database from a hard or one drive
- Export - Exports the database to a hard or one drive
- Clear - clears content of the database. User will be asked to choose to delete only beers, or also breweries
Editing Countries
Country related menu items are available in the country form, having the following commands:
- Add - Adding a new country
- Delete - Deletes selected country (confirmation dialog is presented first)
- Edit - goes to country edit mode, in which country code, name and flag image can be edited
If edit mode is selected, countries can be edited. Navigation to country related beer details is possible only
if edit mode is not selected, which is the case by default.
Beers
Click on a single country in the countries form (outside of edit mode) will open a country specific beer page.
Selecting a single beer shows beer details.
Finally, the small "Show Breweries" icon on the country form leads to the list of breweries for the country
Filter by brewery
Breweries are shown upon a click on the "Show Breweries" button. Selecting a single brewery will show only
beers defined for that brewery. To deselect go back just click the back button.
Brewery details are available using the same small button on the brewery list page.
Brewery details show information about brewery, including its URL and location. Clicking these will open a popup with a web page of the brewery/map respectively
Edit Brewery/Beer
Brewery/Beer can be editing using the command buttons in the top part of the page:
- Add Brewery/Beer - Adds a new brewery/beer and shows it in edit mode
- Delete Brewery/Beer - Deletes selected brewery/beer
- Edit - switches to the brewery/beer edit mode. This one will be set also when a new brewery/beer is added
