BRouter profiles

devemux86 · June 21, 2020, 4:11pm

Also the gpx import and BRouter routing work exactly the same in both 1.12 and 1.13 (Beta) versions.

@devemux86 Mit welchem Profil hast Du die Tracks berechnet? Ich begreife das nicht, bei mir kommt bei 1.13 Route nicht gefunden. Mit 1.12 keine Probleme…

@devemux86 With which profile did you calculate the tracks? I don’t understand this, with me at 1.13 Route is not found. With 1.12 no problems…

I made a clean install of BRouter and didn’t change anything else.

When change BRouter profiles, must understand its profile guide and test with small routes.

From BRouter readme:
"Note that if called via the service-interface, BRouter uses a timeout of 60 seconds,
which sets a limit on the distances you can calculate."

Naturally the 60 seconds timeout is different on each device as depends on CPU performance.

@devemux86 Ok, dann hat BRouter bei Dir also die schnellste Route gewählt. Für mich trotzdem nicht erklärbar warum “Enduro” mit 1.12 funktioniert, mit 1.13 nicht? Wenn es eine Zeitüberschreitung gibt gäbe es eine entsprechende Time-Out-Meldung. Könnte es mit den Änderungen in der Beta zu tun haben die Du bezüglich BRouter vorgenommen hast?

@devemux86 Ok, so BRouter has chosen the fastest route for you. For me still not explainable why “Enduro” works with 1.12, but not with 1.13? If there is a timeout, there would be a corresponding time-out message. Could it have something to do with the changes you made to BRouter in the beta?

Cannot know for others profiles and the calculations / messages are external, we don’t influence them.

Better make tests with small routes and examine where the routing fails because of the profile changes.

BRouter certainly works fine in 1.13 (Beta) - as seen above.

Tested track2.gpx with 1.12 and still cannot be calculated with BRouter because of via points 4, 13, 44.

The BRouter improvements in Beta are done on its turn instructions.
So routing has to finish and a successful route result to happen first.

Hat schon jemand eine Lösung gefunden die Profile von @SchlesiM in Android 11 in den BRouter zu importieren?
Ich probiere gerade über alle Kanäle den Anbieter zu erreichen. Aussage von Samsung ist: Wir müssen die Data Ordner wegen der neuen DSGVO unsichtbar machen, bitte wenden sie sich an den Hersteller der App, dass dieser seine Struktur anpassen soll.

Has anyone already found a solution to import the profiles of @SchlesiM in Android 11 into the BRouter?
I’m trying to reach the provider through all channels. Statement from Samsung is: We have to make the data folders invisible because of the new DSGVO, please contact the manufacturer of the app that it should adjust its structure.

devemux86 · May 12, 2021, 5:51am

Have you also asked in the application repository?

ToTo_GSA_Rider · May 12, 2021, 6:08am

Ja, ich habe bei Google in der Gruppe die man über die BRouter Seite erreicht auch meine Anfrage eingestellt. Ich habe vorhin auch eine 1.Stern Rezession im PlayStore mit der Anfrage hinterlassen und zusätzlich habe ich den Ansprechpartner via LinkedIn angeschrieben.

Yes, I have also posted my request on Google in the group that can be reached via the BRouter page. I also left a 1.star review in the PlayStore with the request and I also wrote to the contact person via LinkedIn.

devemux86 · May 12, 2021, 7:23am

I have seen your 2 topics in BRouter forum (here and here).

You can also ask in BRouter development repository.

No, please do not do that!
This is extremely bad practice..

BRouter works perfectly with its default profiles.
The problem is from Google and Android 11 forced changes.

There are many libraries / apps / workflows that are broken with those changes..

devemux86 · May 12, 2021, 1:30pm

Can you try the following in your Android 11 device?

Uninstall existing BRouter app from your device
Download the latest BRouter zip from BRouter website
Extract and install the “BRouter_api10.apk” in your device
Start BRouter
- Grant the storage permission
- Select “/storage/emulated/0” as base dir
Download the routing data for your selected regions
See if you can access the profiles in “/storage/emulated/0/brouter”

ToTo_GSA_Rider · May 13, 2021, 6:33am

Super, Danke für den Tipp. Es hat geklappt und ich kann jetzt die Ordner sehen und auch die Profile. Habe die Datei von @SchlesiM auch noch gefunden und mir geladen. Import hat geklappt und die fertigen Profile sind jetzt sichtbar. Es wäre gut wenn jemand den Hinweis in die Bedienungsanleitung für den BRouter mit hinterlegen würde für die neuen Android 11 Geräte.

Great, thanks for the tip. It worked and I can now see the folders and also the profiles. Have the file of @SchlesiM also found and loaded me. Import has worked and the finished profiles are now visible. It would be good if someone would put the hint in the manual for the BRouter for the new Android 11 devices.

devemux86 · May 13, 2021, 7:14am

I updated the offline routing guide.

So you can change the BRouter profiles on Android 11 with BRouter_api10.apk.
Unfortunately Google no longer allows such apk on Google Play (it is forbidden).
Those who need it must install it manually…

BRouter app will be updated, we will see how it will work on Android 11+.

I'd like to update the app to Android 11 These are the plans: Starting wit…h switch to gradle, issue [243](https://github.com/abrensch/brouter/pull/243) This has no conflicts at the moment Android 11 A good start is 'Cleanup file / base directory access' issue [244 ](https://github.com/abrensch/brouter/pull/244) but it has conflicts The new storage rule says use your own space to have free file access or work with the new DocumentFile class. But own space in .../Android/data/btools.routing/ is no longer visible for others. And we can't see data space from other apps as well. One way to live with that rules seems the use of the media path .../Android/media/btools.routing/ Here we have random file access and it is visible for other apps. That also means the rules for the CoordinateReader should change. E.g. a folder '/Android/media/btoos.routing/income' could be open for all apps to write there gpx into it. No grep on special app folders as before. New app icon - brouter-web issue [286](https://github.com/nrenner/brouter-web/issues/286) I don't know if we follow here or use a Android specific way see [Android specs](https://developer.android.com/google-play/resources/icon-design-specifications) Issue #246 Export file or direct output json Issue #306 Update all tiles Switch to server logic input: - parameter coordinate to 'lonlats', keep old parameter - enable nogos, polylines, polygons - enable pois - other parameters Update lookup table logic One of the reason the Android app is outdated is the fixed lookup table. What about an update function based on the lookup version tags? E.g. when download rd5 file and it has a new version number, load also a new lookups.dat. As well as new profiles. Or: an update file that contains the updatable profiles, e.g. we have a new tag 'highway=electro-only', we only need to update the car profile. Or: update on different file size Issue #301 foot maxspeed hardcoded Not a direct Android app issue. It affects the StdPath class which enables speed handling only for foot or bike. I'd like to enable others as well. Issue #286 Black screen when swiping up or down Issue #277 brouter-service and Android watchdog Don't know what to do here but I'll have an eye on it. I know the Android is killing services but never had this issue with BRouter. Issue #271 Download manager I can't follow this error message on my Android 11 hardware but may be @gammeredith can help with testing a new version. Issue #227 Download Manager - not running in background A good idea to get a handy app. Maybe I've forgotten something that could change.

Total Commander author mentions in its forum:

“On Android 11, when you go to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data, there is a new link “-> Installed Apps”. You need to tap on this and then allow access on the next page.”

So there should be access to “/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/btools.routingapp/files”
on Android 11+ to access BRouter profiles?

In BRouter repository they mention that for current BRouter 1.6.1 on Google Play
you can change BRouter base dir and customize BRouter profiles on Android 11+
if you manually enable the “Files and Media” permission in the Android settings.
