SpeedAlert: a tool with an overlay that alerts you when overspeeding.

Like I mentioned in the other thread: I could still noit see it. For you it might be at the top, but for me it weas not visible and I could not search it either.
When I go to "Technical Tutorials", it is visble. When I then go to the "All Discussions", I see it.

And now I closed the browser window, open a new browser window, go back to the forum and it is again gone. Not visible and not searchable.
So I go again to "Technical Tutorials" and it is back. And when I now go again to "All Discussions" it is again available.
If I use another browser, I can see it directly. It must be something with caching.

I now removed all data and cookies from this forum site (https://forum.dudu-auto.com/) and upon connecting again (and filling in userid/password now 🙂 ), I immediately see both threads.

There really is a bug in this forum. I am now using another computer and I still can't find this/my SpeedAlert thread. Not by searching and neither by browsing through the pages.
Only by going to the "Technical discussions", I can scroll to it.

I've just bought a cheap Android Head Unit for my wife's car and have just tried to install Speedalert on it.

I keep getting "there was a problem while parsing the package" error.

Although the "About Car" info page shows Android 15, the app DevCheck shows it is actually running Android 9 (Pie). Not a huge surprise and generally I am not bothered as all the later Android versions just seem to add more restrictions on what you can do.

But one of the reasons for getting it was to put SpeedAlert on it for her. I've allowed install from unknown sources so I guess it is a case of the "Minimum SDK Version" for SpeedAlert being too high for it to work on Android 9?

Is there anything I can do to get round this? Would it work OK on Android 9 even if I could get it installed somehow?

Yes, technically it should work on any Android, but currently indeed as low as Android 10.
At first I was targeting a minimum SDK of 8.1 (27) as the older FYT SC9853i and cheap 8514 units run 8.1. All newer ones and "more expensive" ones run Android 10 or above. However, the 8.1 required a different overlay functionality and I didn't want to make it too complex by supporting two routes on devices I don't even have anymore.

As far as I know Android 9 should not be a problem. I did set the SDK from 29 (10) to 28 (9) in my build file and simply ran a compilation. It compiled without issues. Of course I didn't test it (couldn't test it). I did send you a Google Drive link in a Gmail PM. Please try.

Note to others: Nothing has changed or fixed. This is simply a recompilation of the current 2.3.

(I said I was busy with moving to another house. That has still not finished, but I needed some distraction, so I built MapPlayer)

Thanks so much, that installed fine. No testing done yet, will update tomorrow

surfer63 I downloaded MapPlayer, I'll see what wonder you've created, thank you for such inserts. :

It's not a wonder 🙂 It is a folder-only based player the way my wife and I want to have it. Nothing more, nothing less.
And I actually made it as my wife still gets confused with all the options that other players have if she taps the wrong button by accident.

rumot I downloaded MapPlayer,

This is actually off topic in this thread: Now you "forced" me to release a new version of Mapplayer 🙂. I had made quite some minor changes, which were still completely local, which I now uploaded to the repo and I submitted a new release.
Mapplayer 1.0.3: Release ; Readme

I will now stop posting about it. For me (and my wife) it is now ready.
And besides: this is the the thread for SpeedAlert.
(This coming Sunday, I will have moved to my new house. Then I will be able to spend some more time on other things as well.)

rumot

surfer63 Oh, these wives, they are like that

rumot

thank you very much
I hope your new house doesn't turn out to be a haunted house.

surfer63 Great app! Thanks, mate. It would be awesome if we could choose the language for the TTS output

The language is determined based on the system language of the unit.
Do you have your system language different from what you want to hear?
