Nullpointer Exception when importing gpx file

[Dirk Waltert]

Hi there,

I just tried to import a gpx file I successfully imported in an older Version (unfortunately I don't know the version number, but it was about Mai '16).

Now I get the following exception:

Apk Version : 2.4.3 243

Exception occured in thread Thread[AsyncTask #2,5,main] :

I validated the gpx data using several tools and they say the gpx is valid.

(generated using the page motoplaner.de )

I also tried several gpx files (all from motoplaner.de but as mentioned formerly they worked with OSMAND+)

Any advice/help?

Thanks in advance.

Just one thing i forgot to mention.

If I try to safe the file I just get "error while reading the GPX data" but OSMAND does not crash as I does during import.

Edit: Seems to work if I put the file in the osmand/tracks/(optional_sub-folder)/your_file.gpx folder.

So the transition using "open file with" in this case with owncloud sync folder to OSMAND seems to fail.

I do agree that it is a bug, but ...

- Importing a gpx file is what you do with waypoints: you add them to your favorites.

- Storing a gpx file is what you do with a track or route file which you want to use later for navigation.

A lot of users don't know this and I agree that OsmAnd doesn't make this clear to the user. 

And yes: If you try to import a route or track file, OsmAnd should simply say so and not crash.
