Only in Android 5.1.     Android 4.3 ok.

Would it be useful to use exactly the mechanism that is used to delete
GPS fixes from the list of GPS fixes?

Will get down to that.

Oh, and an additional problem. The line editing within a text box is 
faulty both on my Android 4.3 and
Android 5.1 test machines. Its easy to reproduce. In a new installation, 
where the email address
for credentials is entered, make a deliberate spelling error. Having 
typed in the complete email
address, then do a long press to bring up the cursor to the spelling 
error. Try to drag the cursor
using the blue tag and position it immediately after the spelling error. 
Try to correct. The string is
scrambled. I have found this in one or 2 of the edit fields in dive edit 
as well. Both Android 4.3 and 5.1.

I have not looked at the code, but is there an easy way for me to switch 
on the download to divecomputer
option for test purposes?

Kind regards,
willem
