The problem is a little worse for us. Our app does runs fine on 1.6 in
the simulator, but we got complaints about crashes from people running
unofficial builds:
java.lang.ClassCastException: android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable
at com.google.android.maps.MyLocationOverlay.getLocationDot
(MyLocationOverlay.java:180)
at com.google.android.maps.MyLocationOverlay.drawMyLocation
(MyLocationOverlay.java:561)
at com.google.android.maps.MyLocationOverlay.draw
(MyLocationOverlay.java:511)
at com.google.android.maps.OverlayBundle.draw
(OverlayBundle.java:45)
at com.google.android.maps.MapView.onDraw(MapView.java:476)
Based on the exception trace it seems the MapView widget in
combination with the MyLocation overlay is bugged in some unofficial
1.6 build(s) but work fine in 1.6 in the simulator. Already some
people gave bad ratings (and comments) in the shop because of this
bug, and undoubtedly will in ADC2. On the web, some more scattered
reports about this problem can be found, including:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/43615742f462bbf1/eb170a84a0ff385e?#eb170a84a0ff385e
On the one hand, these people try an application and it just crashes
so they are entitled to give bad ratings. On the other hand, they run
an unofficial build, so maybe they should take that into account.
We just hope relatively few judges run these builds. We actually hope
the official 1.6 comes out sooner instead of later so some potential
judges already upgraded from an unofficial build to the official 1.6
when they judge.
Anyway, anyone who uses MyOverlay in their application suffers from
the same problem.

Pieter (SpecTrek).
