I am trying to run a simple google map but its not working its showing only map background.checked on both emulator and device.
xml file:-
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>
Java class
import android.os.Bundle; import
com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap; import
com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment; import
com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory; import
com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng; import
com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker; import
com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;
public class LocationGB extends android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity {
static final LatLng HAMBURG = new LatLng(53.558, 9.927);
static final LatLng KIEL = new LatLng(53.551, 9.993);
private GoogleMap map;
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_location);
map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(android.R.id.content)).getMap();
if (map!=null){
Marker hamburg = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(HAMBURG)
.title("Hamburg"));
Marker kiel = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(KIEL)
.title("Kiel")
.snippet("Kiel is cool")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher)));
}
}
}
In your manifest file you have to add:
<permission
android:name="your.application.package.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
Like from: your.application.package to: com.themontcalm.droid
And yes if you are using
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
then remove from manifest file:
and add your api code to in manifest file also:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="Your_Map_Key" />
And in manifest file you are missing this:
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />
so also add to this also in manifest file:
you should change android.R.id.content with R.id.map in your code
Something like:
map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
In order to use google Map Service,
Please visit code.google.com
and get you ApiKey.
create a project there->go to services->Activate the Google Maps Android API v2.
Then Create Key for your application.
Add the following permissions to your manifest.
<uses-permission android:name="com.anchit.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
use
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="your_apikey" />
also add
<permission
android:name="com.anchit.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />
inside your Application Tag in manifest.
Use
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
in your code.
and set the other required properties. Now Run the Application.
In your Manifest add
<permission
android:name="your.application.package.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
Also add to your application tag
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="Your_Map_Key" />
You can also visit Google Map V2 , this and Example of map v2
Hope it helps you.
Edit:
As per you said Add this xml file in your project
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<fragment
android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
And access it with in your map activity
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
