[Roadmap-general] Progress

[Danny B. <dan...@sc...>]

Hi,

I was silent for a while. I have quite a few source changes sitting on
my disk, including part of the work on the roadmap_preferences changes I
talked about a while ago.

I've done several Android fixes which I'll commit shortly.

Also I've looked at gpsd support more. It turns out I had a flaw there.
If you use gps_read(), then both libgps and RoadMap are trying to use a
select() call to trigger a function to read data from the socket
connected to gpsd. The fix for that is very simple but uses a function
which is public (as in : not static) in libgps, but it's not documented
as a public function. I've asked them to change that and haven't done
the change to roadmap_gpsd3.c yet.

The initial Android implementation tweaked roadmap_gps.c so RoadMap on
Android would automatically use the builtin GPS. I've changed that so
you can attach to a gpsd too (good for debugging with the Android
emulator). Some tablets don't have GPS hardware so this looks useful.

I am working on initializing pulldown menus in Preferences on Android.
When I try to compare to the gtk2 source, I can't seem to figure out how
these (e.g. the ViewMode pulldown) get initialized with e.g. the "3D"
value read from preferences. Can anyone shed a light on that ?

Comments welcome,

	Danny
