Allow users to specify tile location

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The sdcard tile location is hard-coded. There should be a possibility for users 
to specify a different location.

I have implemented a fix for this and used it in my app for quite a while now. 
Basically I have removed some of the configuration data from 
OpenStreetMapConstants and moved it to a separate default configuration class, 
that can be overwritten/supplied by a 3rd party application.

Unfortunately this patch covers quite a number of classes, because the 
configuration and constants are used a lot across the package. Nevertheless I 
found it quite useful to give the app and potentially the user more control.

I managed to patch, but how do you use it? how do I specify the path for the 
SDcard cached tiles?

OK. I figured it out by looking at the following file: 
OsmDroidDefaultConfiguration.java

create your copy (e.g MyOsmDroidDefaultConfiguration )

then you use it in your tike provider as:

final MapTileProviderBasic tileProvider = new 
MapTileProviderBasic(getApplicationContext(),MyOsmDroidDefaultConfiguration.getI
nstance());

I used getExternalCacheDir();
for the base path! according to DOCs this will ensure my tiles will be deleted 
once my app is uninstalled.

In my opinion this patch is a must! If i find some issues will report here.

Actually I have already implemented a more simple solution for my projects. I 
was wondering if there would be an official solution some time.

In case anyone interests I just modified MapTileFileArchiveProvider and 
OpenStreetMapTileProviderConstants which are the only place OSMDROID_PATH used.
I added a new public static variable at MapTileFileArchiveProvider which I use 
at findArchiveFiles method and I set it at my projects start.
Also I set the TILE_PATH_BASE at OpenStreetMapTileProviderConstants to use that 
variable.

I don't think the lib is under active development and after looking into the 
details it seems all too messy for me to bother ;)

Yes, there's a lot of news but we just didn't want you to know, Konstantin...

How come noone understands phrase on the right of comment box: 

"Each comment triggers notification emails. So, please do not post "+1 Me too!".
Instead, click the star icon."

Asking "are there any news" all the time is pointless. And irritating (for 
people who keep getting spam on their mailboxes).

1 - you can easily patch it yourself, just modify and build the lib by yourself 
- it takes like 10 minutes.
2 - if you even bother to read, you would know that project was moved to 
github, so asking here won't do anything
