[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
Thanks you for the detailed explanation -- most kind of you to spend the time answering that one, to help me understand what is going on.

I still do not understand why when the station is first created (manually), and a logo selected, a display of logos are visible, and one can be selected, and then back in the Create Station screen, that selected logo displays, but when the station is saved (From the Create Station screen), the logo that was correctly displaying, does NOT save.

Yet, going into the EDIT Station screen, and selecting a logo, that displays back on the EDIT Station screen, in the same way it did on the Create Station screen, the logo does get saved.

To me, this very indicates, that the code to save the Create Station settings on Exit, must be different to the code to save the Edit Station settings, with respect to saving the Logo Graphic.

It's not a big deal,, but it is just niggling at me, as something I cannot understand.

Interesting question.

android locales (language) : All states in the USA speak "American" ( a form of English) -- with some speaking the language of their original home country (maybe a lot of Spanish, for those from Mexixco etc) .. so android locales (language) will not help.

Moving from state to state, any RADIO STATion you receive could be from the state you are in, or one close in another nearby state.

ie Where I am in State of Maryland, I can pick up station from other nearby state, and there is nothing in their Frequency of Callsign that directly tell you what state they are in.

A text file with a list of Callsigns and corresponding States would tell you. Navradio+ could have have a Text file that gave it that information , which if used, may as well include the Sid, and any other usefull information, that could be used in some enhased features in the future for navradio+

GPS would tell you what State the car is in, but that again would not help with neighboring states.

(I'm building up to this :- :) )

If the Logo filename had the Station Location (lat & Long), and you used GPS, you could just include stations withing a certain distance to car, when selecting Logo files

--- and then you could add the "Distance to Station" dynamically onto the Station name -- because the data would be available.

=========================================

If it help, from trail and error, from a practical point of view, this is what I have ended up doing.

I do not really have a "State" set of Logos, I have a base Maryland set + any other out of state stations withing 100 miles.

Making logos for every Station in the State close to me, is not needed for me, and is a large project if undertaken)

I have decided to may my Logos, more like Album Artworks, and include such information as, Logo, Callsign, Frequency, "Slogan", City & State in the Logo

Then, when when the program has assigned as many Logos as it can automatically, I go through all the Saved Stations, adding missing logos, and edit the Station name, with the Information I can see on the Artwork and the Edit Station Screen

Typically I might set the Station name to

WQSR *118.7 Public Radio Baltimore MD (the * indicates the station has RDS info, so to expect to see RDS data)

I then view this back on the Navradio+'s main Screen (5 x 2) layout (Frequency scale off)

The Preset Button then typically just show WQSR *118.70 (

Perfect

), and the selected Station Text above the Preset Buttons will display

WQSR *118.70

Public Radio

Baltimore MD​

If it does not format that way correctly, I add spaces or _ to force it to display correctly

Then when all are set up, I make sure to save the json, because I don't want to do that all over again !!!

I am really happy with the final result, that display VERY Well in FFC, with the Station name and the RDS Info, displaying nicely in separate scrolling windows.

As far as the current status of NavRadio+ and FCC, I am more than pleased.

While there can be a little hiccup when changing between Players (Not done that frequently), it is easy to get things working correctly, after which, all is good while you keep on that given player./radio. (and I do not need to Disable the oem radio App)

=====================================

So, if I read this correctly, currently navradio+ can only automatically assign logos from ONE state Directory, the one that was selected in navradio+ in the Download Logo screen.

I can see that may be an issue :( One would have to try the Automatic selection, for all the States in turn, that you are interested in.)

Maybe an solution is to have navradio+ search in any folder that has a same name ZIP file in folder "RadioLogos"
