RideTrac and Cupcake Conflicts
July 9th, 2009
Just a quick note to say that over the past few weeks, I’ve discovered that the cupcake update (Android 1.5) was not so nice to RideTrac, even though on the surface it seemed fine. The following problems have been uncovered and fixes are in progress. Some new feaures are also in the works, but progress on them is on hold until I get these problems corrected:
- Settings no longer take effect immediately. You need to exit RideTrac and restart. This is due to a change in the way Android now handles preference changes from previous versions. Fix is in.
- RideTrac exits when any application is started while running. This has always been a possibility but in previous versions of Android it happened very rarely. Now it seems to happen frequently. I beleive this is a change in the Android handling of lifecycle events. Under investigation as far as how to fix this.
- Random force closes. I have not seen this myself, but reading the blogs I see its happening. If anyone out there has seen this contact me at support@hubrisware.com if you’d like to help me debug this.
Thanks for your patience.
