Just a short update: I have created a branch called "gsoc-janschejbal", where I will be putting all my changes. To get familiar with the project, I implemented ActionBar support and committed it to the branch. Any feedback is welcome, of course.
To ensure compatibility with old devices, I used the ActionBarSherlock library (http://actionbarsherlock.com/), which is licensed under the same license as Vespucci. I also added some icons from the official "Action Bar Icon Pack" by Google, which specifically mentions that it may be freely used. To optimally utilize the limited space on the action bar, I decided to remove the application icon and name. The editing mode is now selectable trough a dropdown ("Dropdown navigation"), the four remaining menu items are added as actions (submenus stay submenus). The commit also contains two unrelated changes: I bumped MAX_ZOOM_WIDTH again to allow users to easily move between cities and countries, and I added some horrible proof-of-concept code for on-device rendering (which requires the mapsforge library). It really just shows that it is possible, but is done in the most hack-ish way I came up with. I located the cause for the high CPU usage while the app is idle: Updating the compass arrow (which happens quite often) invalidates the entire map (see the sensorListener in Main.java). I'm probably not going to do anything about this, at least not until I am done with my actual task.
