Locus works in VirtualBox!
« on: July 06, 2012, 08:05:42 »
I just wanted to report that Locus works in the latest beta version of Buildroid! It is an ICS 4.0.4 image what includes the ARM translator "houdini" from Intel, and thus can ran ARM apps on a x86 ICS build!

Find out the beta build here: http://www.buildroid.org/blog/?p=175
And some information here: http://www.buildroid.org/blog/?page_id=121

BTW, is there any ARM specific code in Locus? If not, can you make it show up in the native x86 Google Play market? This way we could use it in this version: http://www.buildroid.org/blog/?p=159

Thanks for this hint. Works well.
But I wonder why the maps were loaded, but address search doesn´t work.  :?:

I tested it a long time ago. To make address search works, you need to switch address search in settings from Google to MapQuest

Also I now compiler my c++ part also to x86 platform so tested on Virtual box and works very very nice :) So you may check it in 2.5.1.5 version or more or in next market version 2.5.2 that will come maybe this week

@zsero &  nIgel: thx - nice tools

Testing the Locus testversion 2.5.1.5 on both machines (VirtualBox image and Bluestacks)
both works, VirtualBox is a liitle bit "too smooth" and i have some problems to using my second pc screen.
sound, internetbrowser, Filemanager works fine but i need more time to test some funktions...

BlueStacks is easier to use and is faster - but simpel.

Menion : Now we have a tool to plan trips on the PC..   :mrgreen:

Cool, I got the virtual box version to work on my MacBook. Will try Locus when new version is out.

BlueStacks doesn't seem to work on my mac, confusing program...

Guys, forget about this BlueStacks, it's a mess with ads and everything. Virtualbox is a nice and clean solution and is going to run in native x86 mode (fast!) in the next update!

For me, Bluestacks was the same speed, if not slower. I think the latest beta should be super fast in VirtualBox, but I haven't tried it.

With Virtualbox you can install an FTP server and just FTP into your vbox.

Sorry i think you can read the bluestacks forum but... :roll:
Anyway, so I've done it for you:
You can use a filemanager e.g. "total commander" or "OI file manager" and then you can see ../data/windowsdata/..
Here you can find your PC HDs und USBdevices  C, D, E, F, G...
Now you can copy some files to bluestacks.
(i do this with some mapfiles now -> and it workes!)

and the path for locus offline maps is the same as before:
..locus/maps/...  e.g "mymap.sqlitedb"

edit:
and the path for locus vectormaps is the same as before:
..locus/mapsVector/..   e.g. "yourmap.map"
