5 years ago No, not the same, I create the folder stellarium manually, so /sdcard/stellarium/landscapes/geneva
And there is the correspondant landscape.ini and horizon_Geneva.txt, but nothing is showed in the settings in the app, so I think it is not supported now. My android is rooted

5 years ago Just gave it a test. Custom landscapes are supported. However, the ini file must be named as landscape.ini to be recognized.

5 years ago A simple test works. It might be that landscape geneva is not supported with 0.12 kernel. I will look into the issue.

5 years ago My stellarium version is 1.29, and yes the landscape is so renamed landscape.ini and in thr same directory is the auxilliary horizon file renamed as horizon_Geneve.txt
But is my path okay? /sd/stellarium/landscapes/geneva/
or should a directory named "data" inserted between "stellarium" and "landscapes"?

5 years ago Polygonal landscape was introduced in the 0.13 series. If the Android version is based on 0.12, it will not work. But it could be back-ported, of course.

5 years ago I am not so familiar with technical data, but my android OS is 7.0 nougat, Stellarium mobile 1.29.6, are the requirement satisfied to install custom landscapes specially polygonal?

5 years ago Thanks @gzotti for pointing out. I did some testing. Geneva, or any otjer polygon landscape, won't load as not supported by 0.12 kernel.

5 years ago However, it should still show up in the landscape list. Are you sure you granted permissions of read/write access of external storage to stellarium? @kha-ce

5 years ago A easy way to check is that stellarium folder should be automatically created under /sdcard, with config.ini in the folder.

5 years ago I uninstalled Stellarium then reinstalled, giving permission to read/write it, I didnt find a directory automatically created in path /sdcard/ nor in /extSdCard/, I created the folder manually in /sdcard/, I renames it stellarium/landscapes/[name_of_the_installed_landscape]/landscape.ini and the accompioned png image, it didnt work, nor was showed in the app, that was on Android 7.0. I tried the same with other android but version 5.0 not 7.0 and rooted, didnt work, but I found the config.ini under /data/data/com.noctuasoftware.stellarium/files/.stellarium/, I moved my own landscape folder and put it here beside config.ini so in /landscapes/[my_own_landscape]/ I restated the device, didnt work. Thank you for all your time, I gave up for android :(

3 years ago Stellarium 0.20.4 ported to Android has supported horizon polygon landscape. And this may work when introducing code from it.
Would you give the user to add his own landscape configuration as horizon polygon added as text file like the PC as geneva_horizon.txt? It would be a good advantage as I think ;)
