Re: Custom rendering in 3.1

[OA]

I got it working by switching the renderer! :)

My fault was - I did not point to specific renderer in order to make it 
work. Now I know that I have to do 2 things:
1. put my rendering file into rendering folder
2. choose it in "Map style" menu
The second step is very important!

Thanks a lot, @Majka! Your input was very helpful here :)

Read this  
message again. Read it aloud and repeat it as many times as you need to 
understand what you should be doing. If this doesn't help, read several 
times the last sentence from here 
. 

You can grab the missing file here 
.

Do not come back until you can show me a screenshot of the mentioned 
folder, where you have both the default.render.xml and TryFirst.render.xml 
files inside.

Thank you, Majka.

I have OsmAnd 3.1.5, released 2018-08-10 on my phone and there is no 
TryFirst item between Touring view and UniRS. Should I try something else 
instead?

I recreated default.render.xml file, put your file into rendering folder. I 
did not change anything even a bit. Then I restarted OsmAnd and it did not 
change its default rendering...

Restart Osmand, select the additional renderer, done.

Then recreate the file! You need both, the original one and either of those 
provided here as attachment. You need both in the correct folder. 
Do not touch anything else, do not change a bit, no editing, no renaming.

It should work, there is nothing else to do.

Re: Custom rendering in 3.1

[OA]

What settings are bad from my previous installation? I'd like to check all 
of them, one by one, if that's the problem. Restoring old settings with 
Titanium backup is needed to save me couple of hours on writing down all 
old settings (which as you said could contain some problems) and then 
setting all of them back again. So, if the settings are the problem, I'd 
appreciate any specific instructions on where to look at.

Rendering folder contains only two files:
  default.render.xml
  TryFirst.render.xml

As I mentioned earlier I can get initial default.render.xml file at any 
time by removing it from the folder and then running OsmAnd. It will 
re-create the file immediately. So, it's guaranteed that it's native 
default file coming from OsmAnd and not changed in any way. The second file 
is working well for two participants of this thread. So, it should not be a 
problem too.

No wrong again, you have just overwritten the correct installation with your 
BAD non working settings back - you have nullified the whole reason for 
reinstall by this.
You have to keep the rendering folder as installed. Do it again, but before 
restoring your settings copy the folder AS INSTALLED somewhere else. Restore 
your settings, copy the content of the folder AS INSTALLED back . Put one of 
the provided files into the same folder without changing anything . Done.

Thank you. In a desperate attempt to fix the problem I've decided to 
re-install OsmAnd. That's what I did:
1. I've synched two folders:
  SDCard\osmand
  Phone\Android\data\net.osmand\files
2. I made backup with Titanium Backup
3. Uninstalled OsmAnd
4. Installed OsmAnd back again
5. I've synched back two folders (see p.1)
6. Restored backup data with Titanium Backup (to see my local maps)

When I tried to make route, the track shown is wider than the street 
itself... :(

I have to edit default rendering file again to make it work. I just hope 
for a new version of OsmAnd to have it fixed. Otherwise, I'll have to edit 
default rendering file again and again :(

That's not implied by my tests. Majka was saying that the default renderer 
("OsmAnd") is special in that it goes by two names ("default" and "OsmAnd") 
and that you should try both if you're having problems. But I just did an 
experiment and it seems that if the name given with depends= is junk, then 
the default renderer is assumed. In general, though, if your renderer is to 
modify one of the non-default ones, then the name has to be exactly right. 
(For walking, I use one that depends on touring view here 
.)

If you're confident that you know how to backup and restore any personal 
data that you care about (favourites, gox tracks, etc) then the easiest 
thing would be to do a clean-reinstall (you said that the problem appeared 
when you updated to 3.1 and I can't replicate it). But if you're not 
confident about that then you'd be causing more trouble for yourself, and 
I'd wait for the next official update to see if that installation fixes 
your problem.

With sympathy ;-)

Re: Custom rendering in 3.1

[Majka]

You shouldn't touch anything else than YOUR custom file. There needs to be 
default.render.xml - this is the main file used for rendering - do not 
touch it at all, nor any other file created by installation. Your 
ADDITIONAL file simply overwrites part of it. This is the only way it can 
work for you. Let the editing of the installed files to people who know 
what they are doing. 

Can you switch rendering style inside OsmAnd now at all? I would reinstall 
OsmAnd, grab one of the two files, copy it and forget the rest. 

For the future - either do not touch anything or make really, really 
sure that you understand the instructions. When not clear, please do ask. 
Your step one was a big mistake, the rest was fine but steps 4-6 shouldn't 
be necessary at all.

Re: Custom rendering in 3.1

With a up-to-date standard Android OsmAnd installation from Google Play 
(version 3.1.5), I cut-and pasted the xml from OA's first post into a 
oa.render.xml file, and downloaded both of Majka's files. All three of them 
had the desired effect. Hope that helps with the problem-solving, OA!

Re: Custom rendering in 3.1

[OA]

First of all, thank you for trying to help!

I've just tried your files:
1. I removed default.render.xml file and all my files from rendering folder.
2. I put your TryFirst.render.xml file there
3. I started OsmAnd to see if it changed anything. It did not
4. I cleared cache from OsmAnd
5. I put your TrySecond.render.xml file into the folder
6. Started OsmAnd again and I don't see the change

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but with those two files I still see 
wider track... And even worse I don't know what to try next.

Re: Custom rendering in 3.1

[Majka]

I'm sorry, but what are you doing? For sure not what I told you to do :)

The name of the file has nothing to do with anything. The change is in the 
first row inside of the file. 

^read the line above once more^

...
And just to be sure: The change is in the text inside, not in the name!!!
...

And now, for dummies edition:
There are two files attached, copy both in the correct folder. Start 
Osmand, and only one of the custom rendering files will work inside 
correctly. Keep this one, rename it however you want it. It does work in my 
installation, for me the file name "TrySecond.render.xml" works. You can 
name the file how you want.

@OA:
No, just grab the code, copy it into your custom xml. In theory, just the 
one line is missing.
Start Osmand, try if it works. Should it work, you are done.

If it wont work, just change the header line in my text. The 
depends="whatever" just says what is the underlaying file. In my case, the 
Osmand says "Osmand" but the file is named "default" and the depends are 
using this.

It is working, some of the built in rendering styles use the depends.

Change it like this:




 
 
 
 
 


Check, if you need to change depends="OsmAnd" to depends="default".
