GeoHunter 1.9.4 pushed to Market

[Anders Petersson]

I incorporated the filter dialog fix from John, and together with a commit from Ted made version 1.9.4 and published it to the Market.

I forgot the "Potential Waypoint Issue" patch from John though.

Since upgrading to this new market version I no longer seem to have an
option to sync all caches from bcaching, only the nearest caches.

Has this option been removed, or shifted elsewhere in the program? I
cannot see it in the preferences anywhere...

I upgraded form the previous market version, I haven't used any of the
intermediate versions.

Ah, never mind. I've found the option within the new Data menu. Sorry
for bothering the list members.

I might have forgotten to update the instructions for the new Data tab.

Good thing you found it anyway.

That's too bad that you forgot the Waypoint Issue patch: I think that this may be a serious bug which will have an impact on the accuracy of the Waypoints.

Cheers.

Sorry for the other posts ... just saw my wife was logged into my
computer.

I agree. As I found when I posted the issue, waypoints could be up to
almost 300 feet off. I think I would recommend getting the Waypoint
patch included and then pushing to the market again before you start
hearing from other users.

Ok, I have included the patch (or a modified version) and uploaded 1.9.6 as a preview:

http://code.google.com/p/geohunter/downloads/detail?name=geohunter_1.9.6.apk

Oh, I also noticed a strange bug in Market; 

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near "s": syntax error: , while compiling: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM CACHETAGS WHERE CacheId='Becky's House' AND TagId=9

...

at org.geohunter.database.DbFrontend.geocacheHasTag(DbFrontend.java:395)

...

at org.geohunter.xmlimport.states.GpxWaypointState.handleEndTag(GpxWaypointState.java:89)
at org.geohunter.xmlimport.XmlFiniteStateMachine.parse(XmlFiniteStateMachine.java:85)

I don't see how a textual name could end up as id unless someone edited the GPX without knowing the format. I made a quick fix by removing ' characters.

I'll publish this to the Market within a few days unless someone has objections.

The 1.9 version seems positively received, judging from the comments on Market. More people have downloaded the app (now at 20000), but the installed user base has decreased a bit for the first time. I suspect this is because Groundspeak has published their official Android app.

I talked to Groundspeak about an open API two months ago, and they asked me to get back to them at about this time. I'm not so engaged in geocaching at the moment but if anyone would be willing to work on integration, talk to me and we'll find out what their plan is.

Thanks for all your work on this. The link says 1.9.6 but the web site refers to 1.9.5.

[Anders Petersson]

The correct link is
