In the version 0.3.0 issues #5 (refactoring of the main layout file) and #6 (move to sd-card) issues are solved.

This version has a news feed from Studentlund, just a simple list for now. See the commit on Github.

A new version is published. As one can see on the github, this version has some UI improvements: Changed library pins to green: in order not to be confusing with the highlighted pins (the red dotted ones), Updated the Swedish localization strings.

It is my pleasure to announce that a new version is ready for release. The biggest news are the nations which are now on the map. Other improvements are spelling error corrections. Great thanks to Kigsz. You can read about adding nations to the map on Lusites wiki.

Now a user can choose what to see on the map. Maybe only bike pumps or everything. To do that I created a new class ListPreferenceMultiSelect extends ListPreference which is more or less taken from DroidWeb tutorial. The source ListPreferenceMultiSelect.java was improved a little bit: The constructor checks if entries are not empty before creating indices. For the second a new method was added: prepareValueToStore, the opposite one of parseStoredValue. Here is my ListPreferenceMultiSelect.java and in the version 0.2.6. This version was published on the Market and committed to the repository.

LUSites has now all markers, images to show places and images with dots to show a place you tap on or search. Github commit. This is even published to Market.

The content in the constructors of LUSiteOverlay subclasses is now moved to the superclass. The invokation of the abstract method initLUSites is working due to polymorphism. The details of the commit on Github.

Red arrow isn’t so user-friendly. So the new highlighted marker for bike pumps is the bike pump marker with a red dot on it, like the auditoriums. The consistency is important. Committed on Github, but not Market.

Libraries are now present on the LUSites map. The list of Lund University Libraries was taken from the official site. Committed on Github, but not published on Market. Here is the coordinates of the libraries, their addresses and the CSV-file which is located in /res/raw/libraries_utf8.csv in the LUSites project.

Positions for Paln & Palnö at Palaestra and DC-Shö at IKDC have been adjusted. It is committed on Github, but not published on Market.

Well, it is time to localize. The first language has been added: Swedish, of course. To localize is pretty simple in Android. All you have to do is to create a new folder /res/values-xx where xx is the language code. sv is Swedish. In this folder create an xml file called strings.xml and copy all the content from /res/values/strings.xml. Replace all the strings from your default language into the language you want to localize to. There is a graphical wizzard in Eclipse+Android for creating the right folder: Right click on your project → Android tools → Create a new Resource file → Choose Language → Follow your intution.

This version works good. There are only bike pumps and auditoriums. But you see when you tap on them, or you can search. Published on Market and committed on Github.

Cleaned OverlayMediator. Moved strings to /res/values/strings.xml Solved the bug with disappearing OverlayItems. The actual reason was the caching of OverlayMediator object. The instance variable “activity” was the old one, and the getOverlays from the activity’s lusitesMap were old. So it couldn’t work. The solution is to force OverlayMediator to renew its instance variable LUSitesActivity activity each time the static method getInstance is called: public static OverlayMediator getInstance(Context context) { if (singleton == null) { singleton = new OverlayMediator(); } singleton.setActivity((LUSitesActivity) context); return singleton; } I also have started to use selectors in order to change Markers automatically. This version is not published on Market, but committed on Github.

OverlayController is actually more Mediator. It keeps track of current OverlayItem and triggers toggling of marker highlighting. In order to provide clear code the name has been changed to OverlayMediator. The singleton variable now is called singleton. And static method getOverlayController is now getInstance(). Commit details on Github: Version 0.1.7 + Added OverlayMediator

This version improves User Interface. After search you probably don’t want to see the keyboard which takes half a display. So now it is hiding after search. To do this I used a code provided androidguys: InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(findField.getWindowToken(), 0); This version is not published at Market. Commit details on Github.

Highlighted Marker doesn’t appear after restart « A Chuvash Guy @ Android - Jan 4, 2011

[…] bug is solved in the version 0.1.5 and released as update in the Android […]

Actually the bug was solved completely in version 0.1.8

The bug where the highlighting of current item didn’t work is now solved. In this version the LUSiteOverlayItem has been implemented. toggleHighlight(), @override Drawable getMarker() have been added. This version is published to the Market.

In this version the code has been refactored. The new subclass of OverlayItem was added: LUSiteOverlayItem. It has not been published to Android Market.
