Oruxmaps crashes by zooming in

[orux]

Yes, I have just upgraded to Android 6 on Motorola MotoG (3rd gen) and have exactly the same problem.Zooming with buttons or finger causes Oruxmaps to crash. Sometimes it will zoom up once on the button but crashes on the second press. This occurs with both the production version and the beta at http://www.oruxmaps.com/OruxMaps6.5.4beta4c.apk">http://www.oruxmaps.com/OruxMaps6.5.4beta4c.apk (but About says version 6.5.0).



I've just done some further checks and the problem only seems to apply to offline maps; the OS Street View 1:10000 (UK) seems to zooming okay.



I knew upgrading the Android 6 wasn't a good idea!!!



A solution would be most welcome.

Finally I bought a Moto e with android 5.0.2 to try to solve that strange bug!



Please, try this version (install, then go to settings--maps--zoom settings-> select 'Bug with zoom').

tell me if that solution works,

Yes, that seems to have solved the problem. That's really great.



Incidentally the zooming worked perfectly on my Moto G (3rd gen) with Android 5. (5.0.2, I think).



Since I switched to Android 6, I've also noted another issue possibly related to zoom. On my largest map by file size which is a multi-scale set, when I select the 1:25,000 map set it opens the 1:50,000 map if it has previously been set below the 1:25,000 scale although the label that appears briefly indicates it should be the 1:25,000 map. A click on the + zoom button then brings up the 1:25,000 map. This wasn't happening on Android 5. Not much of a problem to me but strange.



Thanks for your help.

Hi there.



I can confirm that 6.5.4betab is working well on Moto Maxx BR on Android 5.0.2. I'll wait the update in donate version.



Thank you very much

Hi,



thanks a lot, it's not crashing anymore on Moto E 2nd gen (5.0.2).

However, the zoom +/- buttons don't work (zoom only digitally), correct zooming only works fingers.

MAYBE I have a wrong setting somewhere deep in the options left over from trying anything to get it working.  



Does this beta expire? I used the oruxmaps sea which worked great but expired some time ago.

Just downloaded and installed 6.5.4beta8 can confirm that the zoom bug is fixed with workaround in zoom settings.



Android 6.0 Motorola G2 XT1068.



Thanks for your efforts well done.

No, this solution does not not work for me and the app still always crashes when zooming.

The only workaround I found (a bit lousy, however) is to manually rotate the map and coming back with the orientation (but not exactly aligning as a startup, otherwise the workaround does not work). In that case, you can zoom whenever and whatever you want and the app never crashes.

Again, pay attention that the problem is with both Motorola MotoG and Android Marshmallow 6.0, not with 5.0.x.



Please, solve it. Many thanks.

Hello,



confirm that you are testing the beta version, not the market version, and the 'bug checkbox' is selected, because there are reports about MotoG + android 6.0 working with the last fix,

Sorry: I was not testing the beta version (and relevant "bug checkbox") because I did not understand that the app installed in a separate environment, called "oruxmapsbeta". Thus, actually I was still being testing the standard 6.5.0 version by launching it from the usual desktop view of my phone.

I just realize that of late, when you asked to me yesterday whether the "bug checkbox" was actually checked and I was not really able to find out it. At that point I had a look inside the installed apps and I found out (not in the desktop view but in the installed app view) that another app called "oruxmapsbeta" was really installed.

I then duplicated the environment, including DEMs, Offline Maps and the like and now I can confirm that the app does not crash anymore by zooming even though you do not rotate the map at the beginning.

Very good achievement.

Thank you very much indeed.

I also have this same problem

It occurs only in vector maps .

Hello,

I update Oruxmaps from v6.5.0 to v6.5.5 and now it crashes almost every time when zooming even when SETTINGS--MAP--ZOOM SETTINGS) crash zooming is activated

Model: On ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 (ME173X)

Android:  4.2.2

Never had this before with previous Oruxmaps versions

It seems to be only on Openandroidmaps. On garminmaps (img) no problems

Any idea?



PS: Same problem on my Acer Liquid E700 - OS 4.4.2

[radioman57]

Hello



6.5.5 is totally unusable on Samsung Galaxy S3, Android 4.3.

Crashing either right after start, or when zooming. :cry:



I want to go back to 6.5.0. Google Play Store says previous version is available on the website.

Did not find it. Please post a download link for the 6.5.0.apk



Thanks & regards

Wait a minute



I need to know what happens!



I think it is a problem with the new mapsforge libraries. But I am not receiving information about the crashes; may be it is a native problem.



Are you using those maps?

[radioman57]

Sorry Orux, of course you are right. My wish to roll back came from the fact that I'm leaving very soon for a hiking/biking vacation in Crete...



I'm using OpenAndroMaps and the Elevate theme. After a few more experiments, I found:

(1) Crashes occur less often when using the default mapsforge theme or the Tiramisu theme compared to the Elevate theme.

(2) It could be a performance problem: Map display buildup takes by factors longer than with 6.5.0., regardless of which theme I'm using.



I am most willing to run additional tests which may help to isolate the root cause of the problem.

Hello;



Here a next version --> http://www.oruxmaps.com/OruxMaps6.5.6.apk">OruxMaps6.5.6.apk



Using the old 0.5.1 library. It should solve the other problems.



A feedback will be welcomed,
