hi menion

i unfortunately have no good news ;-(

i deleted the geocaching folder under Locus/data, and on the next startup of locus, the folder was recreated and everything looked fine.
so i started to add html files to a folder structure below Locus/data/geocaching, and with just a few files, this looked fine.
but after adding a few hundred files, i again cannot open any waypoint, no matter if this one has an associated html file or not.
then after deleting all html files, it works again.

my test showed:
- with about 200 html files, it works but takes quite some time to open a waypoint
- with about 500 html files, it takes forever and finally crashes

as a comparison:
before updating to android 11.1 (was android 10), i had between 30'000 and 100'000 html files and it worked fine.

so unfortunately, this issue is not solved at all ;-(

hi menion
is there already any progress on this topic?
how does the id i sent you help in debugging?
thanx!

hi menion
i sent you the id as pm.
thanx!

my device updated to android 11.1 today.
after all done, locus opens as before, but i'm no longer able to open any waypoint imported to locus.
so i deleted all waypoints and reimported them using the geocaching4locus addon.
no matter if i directly try to open a waypoint from the live map or if i first import some waypoints, disable live map and try to open then, i first get a black screen for quite a long time and then locus crashes without further notice.
when restarting locus and trying again to open a waypoint, every then and now the waypoint really opens after quite a long time (may take several minutes), but then i cannot switch the tab within the waypoint view...und after some time, locus crashes again. but usually, locus already terminates during the black screen phase.
i never had such issues while running android 10.
after a first crash of locus, then often locus immediately (while starting up) crashes again when trying to restart it.
i guess that this might have something to do with some authorization settings, but i cannot find something that looks wrong.

my folder settings in locus are:
locus folder: internal
the two map folders (maps and mapsVector) point to the appropriate folder under /locus/ on the external flash card, while all other pathes point to the internal flash (under sdcard/Locus/)

do i need to reconfigure something or is this a locus bug that will be fixed soon?

thanx for your help!

when locus shows coords in the status bar, is there way to switch between  DDD°MM.MMM' and DDD°MM'SS'' format with a soft button instead of going through the configuration menu?
i usually need DDD°MM.MMM', but if i have to enter coords to the car navi, i need to temporarily switch to DDD°MM'SS'' as the car navi only supports this format.

we have a private group for live tracking.
is there a way to get notified as soon as someone starts live tracking?
the idea is, that the others of the group get informed as soon as one goes to a trip. so this allows to start a search if you recognize that someone got lost somewhere or had an accident in the mountains. but if you don't even know that someone went to a trip, you don't know that you should track him...

great!
(didn't know that)
thanx!

or is there any other place than the setup window (ant manager page)  to show the actual heartrate?
maybe a window within the locus map main display page (the map)?

hi menion
are there any plans to add more widgets?

hi menion
sounds a bit strangt to me as the locus manual lists
Xiaomi Amazfit BIP
as a supported device for Bluetooth 4.0 - low energy (BLE)

The Locus widget, used to control track recording, shows time and distance. Is it possible to also show actual heartrate data from e.g. an ANT+ sensor?
Or is there a workaround to show them?

I try to connect to my Xiaomi Huami Amazfit BIP smartwatch to Locus to track heartrate data together with the route in the gpx data.
Unfortunately, locus does not find the watch, although the watch is paired over bluetooth and can be accessed from the MiFit app.
With the Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Cor Smartband, connection works fine, but the more featured Amazfit BIP does not occur in the device selection within locus.

hi menion
maybe, we misunderstood...or i didn't write correct enough what i'm doing.
what i do is not importing waypoints to a folder. i only load them as temporary objects (i think they are called like that in locus).
so whenever i load these objects, the map centers and zooms out.
so each time after loading objects, i again have to find the position on the map i was watching before and where i wanted to know if there are any objects close to this point.
so therefore, i would like to get rid of this auto-zoom/auto-center feature.
i hope i wrote this a bit more clear this time ;-)

having an option to disable this auto-zoom-out and keep the actual view while importing waypoints would really be an advantage, but i would prefer to have this option permanent in the tool settings!

sure, i'm patient - i was just curious to know if there is any progress ;-)

so now, this is quite bad news ;-(

but one question:
did you have the problem about "no database set" only with your reworked version, or also with the original version of the addon, taken from google play?
i think if the database is placed in a wrong folder, you get this result as the addon is not able to access it (i think i once had this problem too).

what i can say for the actual situation is, that the addon is able to access the database independent of the android version.
this is because it is able to manually load the waypoints from the database to locus.
so if this also does not work in your test, it might be a config problem.

so maybe, the problem you noticed is not really the actual problem of the addon.

on my phone, the database has to be located under:
Android/data/net.kuratkoo.locusaddon.gsakdatabase/gdaklocus/sqlite.db3

if i put it somewhere else, it does not work.

still hoping that there will be a solution...

regards & thanx for your support!
