App: losing filename when loading kurviger files

[devemux86]

@rumbrummer

There is the same topic for the app - should we open a separate thread for the app? @Beemer: Could you tag it as app also and perhaps change the title?

App reports should be discussed separately in its own topics.

Anyway the app works already correctly with the name of the last actual route.

@rumbrummer

I think the proposal above is very good: The last import of a file as route defines the name proposal for export function.

Yes, agree, That’s what I had in mind.

I think I had observed the same problem in the app as well but will need to double check that. Will get back to you later.

Thanks,

You need to describe the exact detailed actions in a separate topic,
as have not seen anything wrong.

Hi,
I do not fully agree: If I open and selcet the file from inside the app (menu / routing / import ) it seems to work.
But in most cases I have my folder with kurviger files opened in TotalCommander and open the kurviger files via tapping on them in TC - and in this case the behaviour differs.
I did the following steps:

• open kurviger
• menu / routing / delete, select overlay + route calculatio, → OK (just to be ure to clear old overlays)
• in TC tap on RouteA.kurviger
• kurviger opens with import menu, select “Overlay + route calc”, “unchanged”, tap on “OK”
• Test: Menu / routing / export: Proposed Name is “RouteA” - OK!
• in TC tap on RouteB.kurviger
• kurviger opens with import menu, select “Overlay”, tap on “OK”
• Test: Menu / routing / export: Proposed name is “RouteB” - but should be “RouteA”, because RouteB was imported only as overlay

Config:
Kurviger Pro 1.13.11
Android 7.0 (API 24)
asus P027
2048 x 1536 (320 dpi)

The behavior differs with kurviger files on every import method, since their “overlay” was added recently.
(this was only implemented with gpx in the past)

It will be available in next version.

Hi

Got it again. If you terminate and re-start kurviger, then any route that was loaded is preserved (re-opened) proper, but the filename is reset to a date/time string.

Cheers

If you terminate and re-start kurviger, then any route that was loaded is preserved (re-opened) proper, but the filename is reset to a date/time string.

How do you terminate the app? Properly with exit or remove it from recent apps?
The imported route name is preserved during the app lifetime.

Anyway like mentioned above, this works already for gpx files.
For kurviger files will work in next version.

I think its the latter. How would I “properly” terminate it? The back button only puts it into background.

Thanks

I see. So lets forget it for now then.

Thanks,

No, the Home button puts the app in background.
The Back button (when press twice) exits the app.

[Beemer]

@devemux86

No, the Home button puts the app in background.
The Back button (when press twice) exits the app.

Actually, that’s not what I observe.

What I see is that after pushing back twice the app still appears in recent apps. It is the same situation that I get to when pressing the home button. This is on android 7.

What am I missing?
Thanks

That’s how Android works.

Usually home button puts apps in background and depending on apps implementation back button can exit the apps.
The apps remain in recent apps until Android decides to remove them for memory purposes or user does it explicitly.

The important is that if want to exit Kurviger should use its exit process which stops everything.
The home button pushes Kurviger in background to continue running navigation, gps logging etc.

[Beemer]

@devemux86

The apps remain in recent apps until Android decides to remove them for memory purposes or user does it explicitly.

So this basically means you cannot visually tell whether the app has exited or is only paused.

Couldn’t you also remove it from the recent tasks list when you terminate? But this functionality is probably (API) version dependent.

Thanks

I tried to explicitly use double back to exit. When re-started the filename still was lost. But this is probably what is fixed in the next version already, right?

Thanks.

That’s already answered above, so kurviger files work similarly to how gpx files work now.

[devemux86]

Available in Kurviger 1.13.16 (Beta).

[Beemer]

Almost. The filename is preserved now when you first push the back button twice and then re-start kurviger. Unfortunately, it still appears on the recent apps screen after it was terminated. If I manually remove it from recent apps and then re-start, the filename is lost again (same as before). The same is true when you restart the phone with kurviger open.

==> Can you please remove kurviger from the recent apps screen when it terminates?

Thanks,
Tom

@Beemer

Can you please remove kurviger from the recent apps screen when it terminates?

Android does not work like that, users are free to clear the recent apps.

@Beemer

@devemux86

The imported route name is preserved during the app lifetime.

It works like that all this time with all formats.

Here we discuss Kurviger difference vs GPX, which was just implemented in Kurviger 1.13.16 (Beta).

Please create a separate topic to request a new feature.

Please create a separate topic to request a new feature.

Don’t know right now what feature you are talking about. The problem is well described above and is reproducible.
