Re: gpx recording stops when screen switched off in new versions

I uninstalled OsmAnd and reinstalled it.
Now it functions fine. I will close the issue.

showing routes driven on a several day trip

[ra]

urgent ask for help: I will be on an island trip by car and would like 
osmand to make a trace of every street I took during several weeks. is that 
possible, how?

ideal would be if every road taken would remain visible tracked (wit a red 
line or so) as long as I want (not a daily track but a continuous one). if 
you have an idea how to accomplish that please let me know very soon! thank 
you!

The only android permission that would do this is  
in combination with


Both have been enabled in the AndroidManifest.xml

of Android
On higher versions of Android (7.0 and up) some permissions need to be
requested also in the activities. I do not know whether

PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
WakeLock wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK,
"MyApp::MyWakelockTag");
wakeLock.acquire();

This permission seems to be disabled on my phone for OsmAnd.

Note that I do not want the

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

I want the screen to switch off.

That's what I mentioned.

Some devices need more - battery saving for an app needs to be switched off 
and the app has to be locked in the memory. Most devices work with just 
disabling the battery saving and Osmand fine. Some needs additionaly to 
lock the app in the memory (MIUI, for example). If your system has 
something similar, you have to do it as well. Check the permissions as well 
- how these work is not that straightforward. The permissions are grouped 
such a way that you sometimes need to give permission which by the name 
seems to be quite a different from the reason why you need it.

I don't have this problem with latest OsmAnd (nightly), it seems to be 
specific to your system. Just to be clear, I am not saying it is not a true 
problem for you.

Have you checked that OSMAND is excepted from any battery saving mode?
Have you Greenify installed?
Anyway, I prefer a different solution. I'm using "GPS Logger" which drains
less battery. You can then copy the track saved by GPS Logger to the folder
/files/tracks by using any file manager (like FX).
