Android CAN Monitoring App

[garygid]

Ver 46 still over-writes the fps at the bottom, sometimes.

If it gets messages too fast, it seems to become unresponsive.
Is there a better option?

What happens if it gets messages that it does not expect?
Hopefully, just gracefully discard them.

The Alt/Soc label starts out in SoC mode, but has the Alt label.
After one tap, it corrects itself.

Each version is getting better and better, THANKS.

here is a "tripviewer", this is an apk click here for download

it allows to see details on trips.

here is a printscreen from a nexus 7.

there is a "marker" every KM,
and colored circles whose size is proportional to KW , red= power out, green = power in
an html file is also created for each trip you click on
for instance this one , so we can transfer it to a pc and use it on a big screen.

nb: of course, to get some datas, the GPS should be active during the trips...

 

[garygid]

Wow, another splendid app.
You are doing very nice work.

Are you loving the Basic4Android?

Does this app have a "simul.txt" mode?
Probably made from CaniOn46, so Yes?

What messages does it need?
Probably the same MsgIDs as CaniOn46?

Does the iON have a GPS On/Off control?
Oh, you are probably using the GPS in the Android, right?

Sigh,
I guess I should get working on the OBDLink
command simulator, so that CAN-Do will
read the filter commands, and automatically
send the requested MsgIDs to any of your
BT apps. Then, you would not need the
"simul" mode.

 

[priusfan]

the 3 apk were updated, they are here

can_batt4 was updated:
a) to avoid the error when starting.
b) to show a random simulation when not connected.
(a tap on the graph switches between Temps and Volts)

CaniOn50 should work correctly...

Tripviewer was also improved:
a) shows different trips in the same day.
b) added green & red pushpins for start and end.
c) starts much faster (when using a big history).

Thanks!

 

[garygid]

Neither iOn50 nor batt4 versions work for me.

PREFERENCES not found, and/or java null pointer error
at startup, with or without BT on, but nothing connected.

 

[priusfan]

normally, if you restart canion50, it should work...

please try and let me know...

you can also delete the db: btcan.db


(the new table preferences is not created fitst time we use the program if the database already exists).

I will fix it asap

edit: btion0050.apk is updated

 

[jjlink]

Yes, iOn50 hung up a few times (went down to 0 fps) and had to be restarted on more than one trip.
I did remove the old version and files before installing all three apps. Are there any cache files outside the BTCAN folder that need to be cleared?

Thanks

 

[priusfan]

hello

there are no cache files, no tricks, no spyware (only bugs maybe).

BUT sometimes, I had also troubles, and every time, the origin was from the phone/tablet :
not enough free ram, some background process eating resources...

for me, the main checkpoint is the FPS (and later on I will use this data as a watchdog for restarting the app if the value is too low).
fps should be around 100 for battery check
and around 180 for canion.


when I meet troubles, I restart the phone/tablet and the sky is blue...

from now, the sources for theses apps are not public, (but I will give them to people asking directly to me).

 

[jjlink]

Ok, I am about to take a short trip now, so I will try it again.

The Tripviewer7 worked fine yesterday.

Thanks

 

[priusfan]

hello John
nice to see you got some results...
please try to transfer and use on a pc the .html files (from the BT_CAN folder from your tablet).

also, I wonder about the time in the files (with reference to UTC)
the timestamp used is the one from the phone/tablet, and maybe there are things to adjust.

FYI a (small = 5) bunch of new users for these apk are coming from france

The times on the html map files look right 5:xx Am - 6:xx Am this morning.

[priusfan]

please update your apks from here
and come back with comments.

 

[garygid]

Other than GPS, what does tripviewer require to work?
Thanks

 

[priusfan]

bonjour,
tripviewer builds maps from data stored in a local small sqlite database.

this database is updated by canionxxx.
in a table in this database, a new record is inserted every second.

I will send you a link to the sources for all the apk...
and also a sample from my db so you can play with tripviewer...

 

[garygid]

Thanks for the database.
Seeing the maps of your trips makes me want to visit France again.

The 40 minute trip on Sunday 2nd November seems to make the
app die, or quit. But I was able to see many shorter trips.
Perhaps my tablet does not have enough RAM memory.

It is a beautiful area.
And, a very nice app.
Thanks again for sharing with me.

It appears that trying to map db log entries dated 121101 (or earlier?)
cause a java double error, using tripviewer8.

 

[garygid]

Trying the 45-minute log (2600 sec) from 121102 works, but takes a LONG time.

When using the Google street-view feature on a short trip log,
Tripviewer8 crashed (terminated) after a while, and over 50 meg of
my tablet's RAM memory seems to be "lost" (until a reboot of the tablet).

 

[garygid]

Starting tripviewer8, selecting a short recent trip log, seeing
the map, selecting Satellite view, seeing the view, and closing
the application seems to have "lost" around 10 MB of memory.

I close the app with the "return" icon in the system bar, since
there does not appear to be any "quit" built into the program.

Is it possible that the system does not recover memory properly,
or properly stop all the attached processes?

 

[priusfan]

hello
with tripviewer, there are no attached process.

I will add a "quit" button or ask for a confirmation when exiting to be sure to free the memory (if I can).

about errors, before1 of nov, everything is possible, I made so many different trials, maybe the DB I sent you contains some bad infos at this date. ( I will not investigate on this point).
