How do I integrate GPS Status & Toolbox?

[axel.b...@t-online.de]

Some time ago, there was a tutorial how to intergrate GPS Status & Toolbox into OSMAND.

Now I got a new mobile phone and can sadly not remember how to do it. Would someone please help?

Thanks in advance

Update:

I tried by pressing the GPS-Status in the upper right corner and klicking "GPS Status & Toolbox". Answer: "Isn't installed - Shall I search for it?" It is installed but ok ... Yes. 

Didn't work. Uninstalled it, installed it again -> No joy.

What else can I do?

Tested with

OsmAnd~ 4.1.0#33201m,  2021-12-08

it works as expected. Of course "GPS Status & Toolbox" is installed.

Which Android version do you use, i havr Android 10

[axel.b...@t-online.de]

The new phone has Android 11, the old was Android 9.

And it doesn't work as expected. When I click GPS-Status on the old phone, it opens the "GPS Status & Toolbox" window. The new phone never opens the app, but shows a box with several tools (including GPS Status & Toolbox), but when I klick there, it says "App GPS Status not installed. Shall I search for it in the Marketplace?" When I klick Yes, it shows "GPS Status & Toolbox in Google Play" as installed. 

As I said before, I even uninstalled it and tried again, but it still doesn't work.

I tried too on my phone ( Samsung Galaxy A50, Android 11 ):

• I have GPS S&T installed and working : if I tap the GPS status button in OsmAnd (I have v.4.1.9), a list of GPS helper apps shows up, and GPS S&T is listed among them;
  
  
• I select GPS Status and Toolbox but I get a popup saying the app is not installed (false, it is) and asking me to download it from market (Google Play store). Of course, once Play Store is opened, I see no "Install" button but "Open" instead (as I said, the app is already present and properly works if I run it from the Home);
  
  
• The same happens even if GPS Status & Toolbox is already launched and running in background.

Guess there's some issue with this feature.

Kind regards,

Max

@ Max1234Ita
Thank you for the confirmation! So it seems to be Android 11 and not my stupidity ...

What can we do about it?

Maybe it can be worthy to open an issue to the developers:

https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues

Unfortunately I don't have the time do do it right now, maybe later in the evening... If you do that before me, pls let me know, so I can follow the issue ;)

I would be grateful if you could do it, since my English is not good enough. Time shouldn't be a problem, there is no rush ;)

Hi all,

it looks like the issue has been solved with version 4.1.11: I updated today and all the apps listed in the GPS Status menu are properly launched, at least in my device.

Can someone confirm too?

[axel.b...@t-online.de]

It works for me too with v4.1.11.

Thanks to Max for helping me out!

Yes, works here too: Samsung S10, Android 11
