Hi there.
I have a problem with update multiple caches at once.
I tried it with whole category (around 1600 caches) and got error that Locus stop working - out of memory
I know, too many caches to update, but, Arcao, maybe you should divide whole update process to smal parts. For example divide by 10 caches - download informations for 10 caches and update them. Next 10, and so on. Maybe it will fix this out of memory issue.
By the way, are there any limits for multiple update?
And have another question: is possible to change icons of caches from live map? Now we do not know which caches are new and which we already have in database. For example add small star to icon. Also "live map" feature downloading caches which are already in db, so it duplicate caches on map screen. Is it normal behavior?
Finally I wanna thanks for your work!

telman: Try version 1.4.2.2. If you still getting a message "your session expired" try to open //http://geocaching.com on your android device and do the logout or clear cookies. Then try it again.

babi: First one: It's a limitation for Locus Data API because everything must be transfered in one time. Both me and menion know about it. The second: I will discuss it with menion.

I'm not sure if huge overloading and mass updating of caches is really welcome. Main problem in whole system is in API I created for Locus. It's going to be too limited for enormous data requirements that a lot of caches have

Anyway, I want to discuss about "images" support you did. I think you little bit miss-understand point that images tab have. I created GC Offlinzer tool, that allow direct download images! And because some images (spoilers mainly) aren't in listing so they cannot be displayed, I create this images that that display all already "offlined" images. But your solution just create one html file, but images are still loaded from internet on request, not pre-downloaded!

PS: little bit funny to discuss it here in English anyway I just wanted to make this public so also others may comment it

so I suggest these solutions
1) download also images and make them completely offline, so it will have same function as Offlinizer in Locus (is this needed?)
2) check for spoilers and if users wants to have them there, add just "<img src...> html code to the end of long listing. It have also big benefit that loading of caches will be still fast, that GC Offlinizer will in this case download also spoilers and finally that users will have spoilers visible directly in the end of listing without need to use any other tool (like mentioned Offlinizer)
3) or remove this feature at all

... from my point of view, second solution seems most useful for me

Hi,
i have  version 1.4.2.2 and since  version 1.4.2.1 ill get the error "invalid user and password" or  "your session expired".
I allready tried to login with the browser, but with the url from the geocaching addon i get also an error. With normal geocachingl.com url, i can login, but after logout, the geocaching addon still does not work. Also clear cookies does not work.

Hi,
I also have massive problems since last update 1.4.2.2 of the geocaching addon. One of the former updates worked very well, why was it changed?

At the moment I neither can
- update a single cache
- nor download new caches
- look at the live geocaches
- login to geocaching.com with locus

This is my workflow:
When I start the addon it says equivilant in German: Invalid Username or password. Please check the login-stat in the settings.
When I press ok it moves to settings menu. Login of geocaching.com appears on top.  
When I choose login at geocaching.com the browser is opened. Even if I
- deleted all cookies before entering the Browser,
- type the right Geocaching Password and Username and push "sign in" Geocaching.com sends:
"Either your session has expired or your authorization credentials have failed. Please try again if oyu believe this is an error".

I am very desperate, can anybody help me (and obviously others) :?: ? Without the working addon I can't go geocaching.

I just want to say that 1.4.2.2 works fine for me (logging in, downloading caches) so it is not something affecting every user.
I use Nexus 7, Android 4.1.1, Locus Pro 2.5.6.

Hi again,

since geocaching4locus 1.4.2.2 doesn't work properly I changed to 1.3.9.1. which I fortunately had backed up in March 2012.
Now everything works fine and I'm looking forward to the next working update.

stephan: Which browser do you use? It was changed because newer created accounts can't log in.

[loc_nix]

i have the same workflow as Stepan and i use the build in standard browser.

The invalid login problem exists on my Samsung Galaxy S phone with 1.4.2.2.  I tried 1.4.2.1 which also did not work.  I went back further to 1.4.1.3 which has the old login mechanism which worked fine.  I was using Dolphin as my browser to login into Geocaching.com.  1.4.2.2 worked fine on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with Dolphin.

Hi Arcao
I use the latest versions of Opera Mini or Google Android Browser (is it Chrome?) or Firefox Beta. OS is Android ICS 4.0.3. My geocaching account is about 1year old and my user name has a "_". Maybe that's what causes the trouble in 1.4.2.2.?

[loc_nix]

i have also an "_" in my username and it does not work.
