GPS tracking tool for OpenStreetMap

Hi OSMTracker Developer,

I got some issue when I tried to upload GPX data to OSM. It said that "Unable to authenticate to OSM.......internal server error".

Not sure why this happen but I think it related to OSM change their http into https. Because I got same error like this in our local tasking manager version 2.

Hopefully this screenshot will help you guys:

My colleagues also got this error since a week ago.

Thank you..

@nguillaumin as you said in #129, only updating gradle-wrapper.properties is not enough. Normally at least gradle-wrapper.jar also changes. In this case also gradlew and gradlew.bat changed. The update can be done by executing ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 4.5 --distribution-type all two times. Or I normally use a small shell script doing that for me: https://gist.github.com/floscher/162c8559258550a4173a6c87b2454f47

So the commits do the following:

• f60f39430941034698e72fdf3274d261fa6ba61c Update Gradle to the latest version 4.5
• 434bd983495f7afaf5d6b9dd4def14688a0668e3 Update several dependencies to their latest versions and use some newer Gradle notation
• 066fe28381f549db76eec85c57f79d7c45e72c5c Fix the currently failing Travis build: It's related to the issue mentioned in #129 (travis-ci/travis-ci#7425). Though I'm not sure if Travis is at fault or Google/Android, https://stackoverflow.com/a/45177269 seems to indicate that for some Android versions there are simply no ABI images available. See https://travis-ci.org/floscher/osmtracker-android/builds/333501292#L2110-L2132: 16 and 25 don't have an ABI image, but 19 has. That's why I changed the emulator version to 19.

When I touch the button to upload a track to Openstreetmap, the app instead performs an address search and then shows the map at 0.00 lat by 0.00 long. I am using an SGS 7 Edge running Marshmallow.

In each track's menu there is an option to upload to OSM.

This option should be greyed out if the authorization option is already also greyed out in the settings menu.

Screen 1: OSMTracker is tracking, all tiles in the current area are downloaded. Then I switch off the display to save battery...

Screen 2: after switching on the display I see this - couple of tiles are missing. OSMTracker reloads them, it takes some time and data from my data limit. In the end everything is loaded just like in the first screenshot. Then again I turn off the display...

Screen 3: ... to find out that after switching it on I have lost another tiles. And again, it starts reloading the missing tiles.

Sometimes when mapping I get to areas without service and then no reload can occur so I am a little bit blinded.

OSMTracker for Android v0.6.11 HW: Nexus 6 (Android 6.0.1)

There was some work done to improve the process of installation Custom Buttons some while ago. However the documentation on the wiki has not been been updated since 2015 so it is not clear exactly how this feature can be used.

To assist with updating the wiki, the following notes are a summary of what I have found out about this feature and an issue that I am troubleshooting. I will add some screenshots and write this up properly once I have managed to use it successfully.

What have I discovered so far?

1. Under settings, towards the bottom of the list of settings there is a selection 'Buttons presents'
2. The 'Button Presents' screen enables the user to select between a default layout and one from a list of any others that are already on the phone.
3. The 'Button Presents' screen also has a '+' option which take you to an 'Available Layouts' screen that lists button layouts that are available to be downloaded. By default this screen lists layouts that are in the master branch of labexp's github repository called 'osmtracker-android-layouts'.
4. The github repository accessed can be changed using the Spanner icon on the 'Available Layouts' screen.

With this knowledge:

• I forked the repository osmtracker-android-layouts
• I created my own layout using existing ones as a template
• I changed the github setting on my app
• When I selected save the app responded with a message 'github repository valid'

My issue is that my layout is not yet listed on the 'Available layouts' screen after I have completed the above. All other layouts from the forked repository are however shown. I have tried deleting a couple of the forked layouts. However, when I select the '+' and I am briefly seeing 'Available layouts' but then getting Error: "Unable to connect to the default custom layouts repository". At this point I am stuck and unable to revert to a default app configuration.

The README.md in the root folder lists my layout as per the others My layout contains: openseamap_icons a folder containing icons en.xml README.md

for the record en.xml contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layouts>
    <layout name="root">

		</row>

        </row>
        <row>
            	<button type="tag" label="Isolated Danger Mark" icon="openseamap_icons/IsolButton.png" />

        </row>
    </layout>
</layouts>

I've made a custom layout, but all the icons are too small to see. I'm using the icons from the source page, but I've renamed them. I don't see how that would make any difference.

The message i get when i upload a trace:

Hi,

It looks like your GPX file

osm_upload201855087.gpx

with the description

juan

and the following tags:

osmtracker

failed to import. Here's the error:

  Unable to read data from /store/rails/gpx/traces/2829773.gpx (errno=Success)
  XML parser at line 0 column 0

More information about GPX import failures and how to avoid them can be found at:

While adding photo. Note or audio. The time stamp are good. But the time stamp of the waypoint are offset by few hours... I try the option follow gps or android time. But no change in the gpx. Do you have a idea. Here is part of the gpx.. It shoud be 11:49:00 but it write 15:49:00 Do you have a idea..

Background maps are not displayed. I tried Mapnik, Cycle Map, MapQuest Open. SM-A300FU - Android 6.0.1 APP 0.7.1

Previous issue #194 was closed, but it seems to be not solved yet, so I'm creating new issue.

As of today when one starts a new track it gets its name in form "Oct 6, 2018 08:14:24" which is exported as "Oct_6,_2018_08;14;24.gpx". But in other cases OSMTracker uses ISO-style naming - for directories and audio files.

Please make the initial track name consistent with this style or give us an option to switch into it.

OSMTracker is a mature software in terms of development, so it is in the maintenance stage, requiring constant updates and improvements in new tools. Communities use OSMTracker in their thematic mappings, and new needs arise that must be addressed with improvements to existing functionality or the implementation of new features. In the tool's Github repository users often share their needs for new functionalities, in 2017 two needs were raised [link]: one, to implement a functionality to download and install custom button layouts in a simpler way and the other, to upload traces to a shared folder and not only to OSM. The first of these functionalities was implemented and incorporated into the tool in version 0.7.2. The need to upload traces to a shared folder or repository and not only OSM is still pending to be implemented.

My proposal is to have the possibility to link the GitHub account in OSMtracker to have a NEW FUNCTION to upload GPX traces to an own repository, including the options to create a new repository, create a Fork of an existing repository and create a Pull Request. For this proposal I made the following prototype in Figma [link], currently this prototype only has a Spanish version, but the implementation in OSMtracker will be in English and with support in other languages over time.

Screenshot of the Figma prototype:

I have been using OSMTracker for Android for many years with no issue.

I am currently traveling in Angola and creating a track log every day. When the track log is named it has the correct date but when it is closed and I open it, the date recorded inside is totally wrong. For example, for a track log is created on 7 nov 2022, the date inside is 24 mar 2003! (see a tracklog gpx)

I need to change the inside date in order to match with photos taken at the same time. How can I do that? I urgently need to find a way to do that… please help me.

I also would like to see how I can correct this issue. So please help me there too.

Starting 1st November 2022, any app that does not have a targetSdkVersion of at least 30 will not be discoverable or install-able from Google Play Store on new devices.

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/11926878

The current targetSdkVersion of OSMTracker is 29

It would be useful to get a maintenance release (if anyone is still able to) to at least allow continued installation on new devices. Outside of that the app works fine on Android 13.

Perhaps a different color can be used, or at least some borderline, so our eyes can easily distinguish the menu that is floating on top from the list underneath.

Music apps have notification buttons for pausing music, and a similar feature would be useful. It would be accessible from the lock screen (see also #338 ).
