Havent been keeping up with the thread, but if it matters, newest version works fine on newly Froyo'd Incredible. None of the weirdness it was having before.
Same here - i flashed to the official 2.2 update this morning for my incredible, and the maps are working fine now. might just be better memory management on the part of the OS, who knows. I had tried running immediately after restarting the phone on 2.1, and still couldn't load the maps.

I may have a fix in the next version. It's really strange though, because I don't know why my error catching code didn't fix the problem. It was supposed to tell the map that if it runs out of memory, that it should keep resizing itself. Instead, now I'm telling it that if it runs out of memory it should load a secondary low res map that I put in. Hopefully it will work.
(and thanks again for the donation Liberaltugboat!)
This is an amazing app! The only thing I'd like to see if the ability to add custom events under "My Schedule"? That'd make it great to keep track of stuff like community events that aren't on the official schedule.

Thanks! Custom events are on my "to-do if I have time" list.
This is awesome. Thank you, man. I wish I had an app like this for every convention I go to!
Glad you like it!
About the map issue, I'll continue to work on it. I could fix it right now by putting a low res map up for everyone, but I want to keep the high res one for the phones that can handle it. I'll figure something out. I'll also look into putting the generic convention center map up.

Don't mess with other people's apps just because a few of us are having problems. There will be paper maps, right?
If nothing else, you could try putting a low res version APK here for the limited number affected.
For the map issue, you need to use tiles along with BitmapFactory to stream and BitmapFactory.Options to downsample. A lot more work, I know, but you're working with a memory constrained system.
Also, here's your market QR Code:

Yeah, I've realized how much of a pain memory can be on these phones. I'll play around with the options and hopefully I will get a good result. Thanks for posting the QR code by the way.

Definitely. With our code combined (or even from scratch) I bet we could make an awesome app.
someone brought this app to the attention of mr. khoo on twitter, and it was linked on the official pax feed a few hours ago. :^: I tried getting Gabe to link to it the other day when he was talking about that conventionist app or whatever it was, but no luck.

I saw that, Liberaltugboat was able to get his attention! It makes me happy that I got another plug. I've been looking on twitter and there seems to be a lot of other activity too! Thanks guys!
Downloaded and working fantastic in all respects on my HTC Aria! You. are. GOD.
Only real complaint is lack of capability to add my own events to the schedule (stuff that's after-hours, like the Pre-PAX Boardgame Night or the SEGA Meetup), but that's tiddlywinks compared to everything the app does, and does well. Kudos!
Hey All
What would you guys think about planning a Android App meet up at PAX?
We could pick a time to all get together, meet Nick in person to thank him and hang out for a bit.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know 1.2.0 is up on the market. Custom events have been added! There were a lot of other small things added too, so take a look at the change log. Unfortunately I wasn't able to add any other new maps. I've tried contacting a couple people, but have had no luck. If there is anyone who can hook me up with the snazzy convention maps, please let me know if you are able to give them to me asap!

Dear sir, I thank thee for thy gift of a low res map. I shall weep manly tears of joy for the effort you put in for the few of us (or maybe it was just me) that had problems.

Verily.
Sorry that it was the best I could do. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but I didn't want to leave you guys out!
I just talked to one of the pax lieutenants and he said we can't release a copy of the world map until tomorrow. X__X
Sorry.

Posting here in case you get email alerts on replies, but check your pm box please. I have something for you.
Edit: this was directed at nickswar, and I'm back in the Sheraton now.
Essentially I checked with a different higher-up and they said we HAVE been giving paper copies of the program (which includes the world map) to attendees today, so it's actually completely safe to release a paper copy to you. If you're within a few blocks of the WSCC I have a copy for you that I can walk over to you. Plus some of the info booth people want to shake your hand. :-)

Still failing on my Desire, and since I am on US Cellular, no 2.2 for me. If someone tells me how, I can get the error log for you.
It would be great if you could add the convention center maps.
Glad you like it!

Yes, definitely. I was thinking about adding it, but I wanted to get your permission first.
this is a great idea.

Thanks again for interviewing me! Everyone should check out the interview!
Holy crap!!! Thanks to everyone for making the app as popular as it is.
Also, little update. I'm working on custom events and I'm about half way through. Keep an eye out tonight for a pretty nice update.
