OpenCPN for Android Alpha test 4.1.412

[bdbcat]

Hello testers.

The 4.1.412 Alpha test release of OpenCPN for Android is available for download now.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k8bas3ncf...1.412.apk?dl=0

Changelog:

1. Disable drag and drop on file and directory chooser dialogs.
2. Enable text rendering for vector charts.
3. Correct for unexpectedly long NMEA string from embedded GPS receiver.
4. Disable route leg info popups in touch mode.
5. Enable gl Display sizes greater than 2048 pixels.
6. Enable S57 ENC chart types.
7. Statically enable OpenGL for all android platforms.

Notes:
1. Still having some trouble with display vertical size for certain versions of android. If you have interference between the OCPN chart bar and the android menu/back button area at the bottom of the screen, please let me know. Include your android version number please.

2. Measure function text does not work. We need some work on text display, yet....

3. Route leg popups on route creation and mouse rollover are permanently disabled for touch devices. Similarly for AIS targets. There is no equivalent concept for "rollover" or "mouse tracking" functions in a pure touch environment. Modern Web page design practices have had to adjust to this reality, also.
We may be able to re-introduce the route leg info boxes on route/waypoint drag operations, tbd.

4. A note on performance: If you are seeing what you think is poor performance, please note and respond with your device's total RAM capacity.
512 MB is really not enough for a fun user experience. 1 GB is OK, more is better.
Also, if you find a slow scenario, please give us as much specific detail as you can on the location, scale, chart type, etc. so that we may all try it and compare numbers. Don't forget to note the "cm93 detail level" value in options->charts->Vector charts. This makes a big difference for cm93 chart performance.

Enjoy...

Hi Dave

Thanks for this new beta
Going on my tests on my phone (D5803 A4.4.4)

1) The font change has no effect. This is very annoying, the ENC texts for example are unusable. May be it's due to a langage problem as I have not access to the language in options dialog ( in the .log file there this sentence : "wxLocal support not available" )
The .conf file shows the default en_US with the ineffective font I have selected. see shot of the option dialog

2) both chart bar and status bar are not displayed

3) route and Wpt properties dialogs are unusable as the button zone is out side the screen (see screen shot)In addition I encountered crashes when opening-closing several times these dialogs

4) the assert failure message shown in my previous report are still here.
The first one seems to occur when built in GPS is connecting, the second when opening route properties.

Regards
Jean Pierre

There is problem with grid display and incompatibility between grids and routes display
You can see the same route displayed with and without grids on the two shots attached
1)Grids are always displayed only on the top half screen
2) Routes display is OK without grids but with grids, the half screen problem occurs. When I move a route, it is displayed normally during a short time then become partially invisible as you can see in the shot attached

regards
Jean Pierre

Jean-Pierre,

how do you make screen shots under Android - the volume down/power key combination does not work for me?

Hubert

I had a "micro appli" named Active clip included in the phone when I got it.
I don't know where to find it but there are numbers of others on the store
There is also a built-in solution: maintain the power button for a few time and a screen is proposed with some functions : Stop, restart, screen shots ...

1. You should be able to change font sizes, even without French localization. I suppose for you the font dialog works, but has no effect?
Will you show me a small piece of the .conf file with your attempted font changes? I frankly never tried to set my devices to non-US language, but I will.

Anyone else having trouble changing fonts?

2. Dialog size troubles are coming from the new android 4.4 top "Action Bar". It seems to default "on", even if it has no useful items in it. I think it should be hidden for OA, since we need all the screen space we can get.

I don't have a 4.4 unit to test on, so I will try an emulator to see why we do not account for this properly.

Thanks
Dave

Android 4.0.3. Screen size 154mm(as reported)
Chart bar shows ok except when Menu bar chosen. I can have one or the other, not both.

[HappySeagull]

I still get this on start up but using Cancel,O hums along ok so it can't be too important.

WXWidgets Debug Alert
src/common/xpmdecod.cpp(821) assert"i**colors.cnt"
failed in Read Data()

Do you want to stop the program?
You can also choose [Cancel] to suppress further warnings

Yes No Cancel "

[bcn]

Samsung T3, A4.4.2

the unit is always in landscape mode.
1.33GB usable memory. Charts on external SD. AIS/GPS via WiFi

- ENCs are showing up. Generating first time takes some moment
- but still no texts (when show only important text enabled )
- can change fonts and sizes
- font changes for status bar show no effect - always fly poo size
- chart bar in place - did disappear when playing with route planning. Need to be enabled again in settings - just enter in settings, toggle the setting and apply
- select charts from chart bar is a lottery - missing some feedback , long press to go for hide/show has no effect
- lat/lon grid will disappear sometimes when route planning, but panning brings it back
- no menu bar

[Wrong]

Excellent! With CM93 detail to maximum loading is reasonably fast now over Australia East coast. text displays fine. GPS on my Xoom with a chip that does not generate NMEA data works fine using GPS Share WIFI from Google Play. Loading route information generates message in screenshot. Cancel shows route information.

Only using CM93 & BSB charts.

[bcn]

CMs
zooming in to an extreme overzoom will result in a black chart canvas that will no react anymore (zooming, panning). Button list, chart bar etc. all visible and working.

Nexus 7 2013 Android 5.0.2


Clean install, deleted opncpn.conf

• Toolbar too large: switched from auto to manual, it suggested 152, changed to 230 looks OK now,
• CM93 text look screwed up, see screenshot, lower row of pixels is cut off and printed on top of characters
  
• Depth unit „Meters“ embossed onto chart lacks the lower 1/3 of the font

Font Change Problem :

You can see in the .conf that all is in en_US. In fact I didn't change the language and I CAN'T because I have no access to the drop-down list. (see my shot on my previous report)
That's why I suggested it was a problem of language, but now after more tests, I am not sure it's a font problem as It seems that font changes work for all the elements but the chart text which are displayed very oddly:
see screen shot attached
