Localized "Message" text

[grafenhofer]

I would be great to have a localized "Message" text:

English: "Click on one of the links below to see my position on a map"
German: "Klicken Sie auf einen der Links um meine Position auf einer Karte zu sehen"

I'll see what can be done. But you know the text is editable in preferences, right?

[grafenhofer]

I know that it is configurable. It would be great to have localized defaults anyhow. ;)

How do I edit the preferences on Android 6? On my old phones I had hardware buttons for menus, but my latest phone does not have that. I am running 6.0 on Galaxy S7 Edge.

Nevermind - I need to learn more about the tricks of Marshmallow.
On Samsung S7 and newer, hold on the "Back" hardware button until the settings menu opens up.

Interesting that they removed regular ways to access the menu... Thanks.

Stay safe from fire! 😂 (bad s7 joke)

I just installed your app (current version 1.2.5) from F-Droid and it's almost exactly what I was looking for - a lightweight app for sharing GPS coordinates. However, I prefer the notation "N45.16722, E006.54892", and while trying to check if it is possible to switch to this notation, I am wondering now how to get into the settings (bq Aquaris M4.5, Android 5.1). There is no "Settings" menu or icon... is this a bug or an incompatibility with my phone/my Android version? Thank you!

It should be accessible using the standard menu button. I don't have a phone without one to test but I've read it should not be a problem:

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2012/01/say-goodbye-to-menu-button.html

if you set minSdkVersion to 10 or lower, set targetSdkVersion to 11, 12, or 13, and you do not use ActionBar, the system will add the legacy overflow button when running your app on a handset with Android 4.0 or higher.

Apparently this is not happening for you for some reason.

But no, there is no setting to change that notation. If you can code, I'll be happy to receive fixes for both issues you raised.

This was obviously a problem with my phone - after a reboot it's working now. Alas, I'm not an Android coder...
