New beta 11.x

[pikimin_tom]

Hi,

The new beta seems to work great and I have no problems with the files being stored in the media folder.

However I have a small problem with uploading tracks to Strava which I also noticed on the previous beta I was using (10.7) - it doesn't matter what track type I select when uploading, in Strava it always appears as a "workout" instead of e.g. ride or run.

Hello check the integration settings, strava, there are you can configure what type of activity is the one that is uploaded by default
Also tell you that in strava it takes a while to show the type of activity received from OruxMaps, if you look just when the activity from OruxMaps has been uploaded to strava it is very possible that it always puts training, but after a few minutes for example 10, this is already updated and puts the correct activity, this has been happening for a long time,  I have checked it out
Best regards

Thanks for the help, but I don't think this is the issue. After more than half an hour the activity type is still "workout". The default activity in my Strava settings is set to "cycling" which is what I'm trying to upload.

In any case, I've just tried uploading an activity using an old version of Oruxmaps (v7.4.23) and the activity type is immediately set correctly, so it looks like it's a regression in recent versions of Oruxmaps.

Also, I tried revoking Oruxmap's permissions to access Strava from the Strava settings so I could re-link Orux to Strava to see if that made a difference. However it wouldn't even re-link. I successfully authenticated with Strava and was able to press the "Authorize" button to link my Strava account, there was no error message but Oruxmaps doesn't show as an app in my Strava settings and uploads from Oruxmaps fail. It seems that Strava integration is broken in this version.

Hello, I have just done several tests with the beta5 version.
Login on strava : ok

Upload activities to strava:ok

As I said before, in the first instance the activity appears as training, a few minutes later the type of activity is already updated correctly.

As a novelty or anomaly I notice that I can upload an already existing activity on strava, this was not possible previously.
Best regards.

Question: I have version 10.7.4 GP installed on an Asus Rog 5s Android 13 device and a Motorola G85 5g android 14, I have over 30 gigabytes of maps and data, could I direct the GP version to read in the same folder as the Beta version so as to always have a single archive without duplicates? Can I create a mess? I ask because it happened to me in the beta 10 version, opening a map, after a few seconds the map was deleted leaving only the xml file and deleting the db and db.journal files. Thanks.

Hello Mandrake70,
you can change the paths of your GP version in 'global settings' - 'app storage' so that they point to the equivalent folders in 'android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsbeta/oruxmaps'. Be sure you granted OM GP access to all files.
I have been using the same data resources for both GP and beta for a long time without any problems but I made backups of important data regularely. If you have already experienced data loss it's even more important to backup.

Sad but true: with the release of OM 11 GP the posibility described above will be history due to Google's Play Store policy.

Best regards & a happy new year to Orux, his supporters and all OM users

Hi, Thanks for trying this. I've done some more testing and I've managed to get it to work. I think the issue was that I hadn't reconnected with Strava since installing the new beta and somehow it was using the Strava authorisation from my old v7.4.23, the permissions it askes for are different which might explain why it didn't set the activity type properly, unfortunately I can't replicate the issue, but it's not such a big problem.

The other issue I had about not being able to authorise with Strava is real, it just depends how I try to authorise. If I go to Global Settings -> Integration -> Strava -> Login then it works as expected. If I revoke the authorisation and go to Tracks -> Properties -> Upload to -> Strava -> Connect with Strava then I get to the Strava login page, but when I press "Authorize" it just goes back to the upload GPX window. If I press "Upload GPX" then it just shows the Strava authorisation page again, but it doesn't matter how many times I press it, it never connects.

Right the same thing happens to me in this beta too.
Another curiosity, without being logged in strava, from the track manager, the three lines (hamburger menu)
If you click on view activities on strava, you log in directly without authorizing strava
