Java code in JOSM Preset

[mihainiculita]

Hello,

I try to use a JOSM Preset and the values_from="JAVA code" feature (found it here https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/TaggingPresets):

<key key="TIME" values_from="String mydate = java.text.DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());textView.setText(mydate);" />

I try to insert the current time, but this is not working.

Is this JOSM Preset feature supported by Vespucci.

I have identified also other tags that appear not to be supported. Can someone confirm what kind of support is available for JOSM Presets for the latest version of Vespucci?

Thanks in advance!
Mihai

You just need to RTFM: http://vespucci.io/tutorials/presets/

There are all kind of issues trying to support it in the form JOSM does would raise, I suspect a light weight script language like LUA or similar might be a more viable solution.

Thank you! I didn't knew that page. Now is clear for me.

Note that there aren't potentially other ways to implement what you want to do, could you detail that a bit?

I develop my own schema osm tags and I would need to insert the time a feature is created.

And the time set when uploading by the API is not good enough?

values_from="JAVA code" can't be done on the Phone as there is no Java runtime that can interpret code. It is compiled to Dalvik Byte-Code before it is uploaded to the Play Store.

See cf3e4bf for an initial test at supporting scripting.
