Recently, two independent users with 1.6 (Donut) on their phones have
informed me that my app crashes after it enters a MapView, just as
soon as MyLocationOverlay obtains its first location fix. I have seen
it do so with one of them, in fact. However, when I asked for a
logcat, what they sent me seems to indicate the crash originated from
an uncaught ClassCastException thrown from within MyLocationOverlay
itself, not from my code. Worse, I tried running this on the 1.6
emulator and couldn't make it crash (I don't have 1.6 on my actual
phone yet), so I am completely lost with this and unsure if it's
something odd they were doing on their phones or something I will have
to worry about when 1.6 gets rolled out to more people.
One user has tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app numerous times,
as well as disabling Dalvik-Cache, all to no avail. This app works
perfectly on both 1.1 and 1.5 phones. I also tried recompiling the
app explicitly using the 1.6 SDK, and it still crashed (as per the
user I talked to). Is there anything I would need to consider with
regards to MyLocationOverlay when upgrading to 1.6?
Thanks in advance!

What follows is the logcat I received from one user (apologies for any
formatting problems). I would provide a code snippet, but since the
exception didn't come from my code, I'm not sure what I would need to
paste.

I have seen exactly the same problem, but only reproducible in some
phones with non standar builds. Anyway, they are 1.5 flavour.
The same piece of code works perfectly in a 1.6 G1 Dev Phone.
If you extend MyLocationOverview and overwrite the draw method it does
not crash... anyway this is not a solution since "my location" is not
displayed, but proves that this is the prblem.
What I am very curious about is that Google Maps works fine in that
phone.

I also have a user reporting a map crash when using a feature in my app that
uses MyLocationOverlay.
He's also using the Cliq, running 1.5. I cannot reproduce the issue on my G1
with 1.6 or in the emulator running 1.5.
I'll post back if I get more information from the user on when this happens.
I haven't had any other complaints about this and it's a pretty blatant
issue (crashes as soon as the maps is opened) so I'm assuming is isolated to
his phone, perhaps the Cliq specifically based on Chris's post.
Is it possible for the Cliq to have a non-standard build of the maps
library?

Thanks for the info and code snippet. At least I know where to go from
here. Of course without an actual Cliq device I have no way of truly testing
and verifying this, so this should be fun.
It's sad that it's up to developers to add special-case code to compensate
for a device's bugged version of the platform.

The only drawback is that the "accuracy indicator" (the blue circle
indicating GPS accuracy) does not work in this case. With a little bit
of work this could probably also be implemented, but it is a little
more complex than just drawing an image.

You are correct. Until it is fixed, I figure this was a workaround
that would work :). You can pull accuracy from the GPS, although I am
not sure of the exact calculation to determine the pixel circle size
on screen based on the zoom view.

Yeah, it's better than a force-close, that's for sure.
Though getting the pixel radius for the circle shouldn't be too hard. With
the GPS accuracy value you can get a latitude / longitude value that's an
offset from the current estimated location, map those two points to screen
space with the MapView projection, and you have the circle radius in pixels
as the difference.
I'll give it a shot when I get around to putting in this stop-gap for the
Cliq and post back with what I find.

Allright, I have taken up the gauntlet and wrote a subclass for
working around this bug.
It draws the "my location" disc and an accuracy circle. You can test
it on a device that is
not bugged by initializing the "bugged" variable to true.
It is a quick and dirty hack but it seems to work correctly on my G1,
although the calculations
might be way off when you are near the poles ;-). I hope to have some
more feedback from an
actual Cliq user later today.
I made the drawable orange instead of blue on purpose so users can see
when their device is bugged.
Note that there is no animation on GPS activity (as there is in the
original MyLocationOverlay).
On a related note: it seems that the "Google logo" drawable is also
bugged on the Cliq as I get reports
of a "red square in the lower left where the Google logo is supposed
to be". I don't really see any
workaround for that one.
If you find any problems with this solution, or have any improvements
to share please let us know!

Since this was brought back up ... this worked for me as well for the Cliq (original issue).
Also, FYI, I found that an easier way to get the distance for the circle radius is to simply use Projection.metersToEquatorPixels(float), which converts a distance in meters to pixel units.
I also added simple animation to more closely match the default implementation by simply alternating which Drawable is used in the draw() call every half second or so.
