Offline maps broken in current play store version? #328

Open kk7ds opened 2 years ago

kk7ds commented 2 years ago

I've been unable to get offline maps working with the current play store version. It seems like there might be some hint of similar troubles in #243 as well. Reproduced on a Pixel 3 and Pixel 5 running Android 12.

With the gl-2018-11-18_osm built everything works fine, using maps either from mapsforge.org's v3 directory, or the openandromaps "v3" download files. However, if I install the latest play store version, I get one of two behaviors. With the mapsforge files, as soon as I select the map file, aprsdroid crashes. With the openandromaps files, I can select the file, but when I display the map view in aprsdroid, I get a "Error loading $filename" bubble message at the bottom.

This is very annoying because the play store wants to constantly update (and thus break) aprsdroid, so I have to keep updates set to manual and select everything but aprsdroid every time I want to get updates.

Is there anything we can do to help track this issue down so it can be fixed? Thanks!

Yes, the current Play store release doesn't properly support offline maps. The old version of MapsForge I'm using isn't compatible with Android 12, and I can't publish a working version of the app to Google Play without some significant work. Please try the version at https://aprsdroid.org/download/builds/aprsdroid-gl-2022-02-07.apk which should support both Google and OSM maps.

Okay, the wiki here says it works with the current play store version. I spent a lot of time trying to make it work, on various devices and with lots of different maps. Can I propose an edit to change that for clarity?

I think you need download a map AND theme.
