Sqlitebitmaptilecache with project trageting android 7+

#8

Hi Judicael,

Our developer try to build a sample with android 7, but it looks we hadn’t reproduced your issue in our test device.

As below is the sample, https://ap.thinkgeo.com:5001/sharing/HWd5C8soR

Please try it and let us know whether you can reproduce it by this sample.

Regards,

Ethan

It compile and execute well, but i don’t see any improvement in loading tiles the second time, so I’m not sure the cache is really used.

I modified your sample to load osmoverlay, and on the second run I deactivate data. No tiles are loaded so I belive the cache doesn’t work when targeting android 7+

Can you provide a workaround ?

#10

And to reproduce the error, just add a second parameter to the new SqliteBitmapTileCache constructor, for example new SqliteBitmapTileCache(“data/default.db”, “testId”);

#11

Hi judicael,

I can’t reproduce the tile cache issue, following list is my test environment:

  1. test machine: one of our using Mobile Phone
  2. OS: Android 7.0
  3. Cache location: “/mnt/sdcard/data/default.db”.

The test steps:

  1. Open the Wifi or 4G network and get the cache file in the specified cache location.
  2. Close all networks and the app.
  3. Reopen the app and keep the network closed.
  4. The open street map imagery is still rendered on the map.

Base on the above test, the SqliteBitmapTileCache works fine.

The attached is the test app, please have a try. Post9140.zip (13.4 KB)

Hi Ethan,

I just open your project and it’s targeting android version 4.4 (in tab Android Manifest).
Could you try with :
Minimum Android Version 4.3
Target Android Version 7

Thanks

#13

Hi Judicael,

When our development team develop this version and test it, the target version is 4.4. We hadn’t tested set the target version equal 7 after that.

And yesterday we had tested that you set the target version equal 4.4, sqlite can works well in V7.

Because it looks V7 set stricter limitation about Sqlite, our developer had planned to work and test for it in future version.

https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk

Google Play will require that new apps target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26) from August 1, 2018, and that app updates target Android 8.0 from November 1, 2018.

So basically, in approx 40 days, no one will be able to publish a new app containing mapsuite cache on the android play store… I hope the futur version will come very soon.

#15

Hi Judicael,

Thanks for your reminder, I will let our development team know it.

Hi Ethan,

August 1 is close now, do you have an ETA about this issue ?

#17

Hi Judicael,

Our developer is working on it.

We will do our best to complete it before August 1.

And I think your APP should follow the limitation of November 1.

I just loaded your solution, add the licence file, changed android target to 8.1 and minimum to 4.3 in android manifest, and use 8.1 as well in tab Application. I got the exact same error System.DllNotFoundException: SqliteForAndroid

#22

Hi Judicael,

We did the testing based on android target to 8.1 and minimum to 4.3, it works fine, please refer below video.

Could you please confirm if you clean you packages when building the sample? I think this issue maybe caused you didn’t updated the latest package.

You can double check that in the bin folder before running the sample on Android Device.

I can see we have the same configuration, but I keep having this error after removing bin/obj/packages :frowning:

I can’t test on a virtual device as I’m already working inside virtualbox, my test are done on a samsung s8.

#24

Hi Judicael_ribault,

What’s the API level of your s8?

You can view that in your VS after connect your device to PC.
