Android Question error while creating a map.

[Izmirov.Yaminovich]

Hi,

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Private gmap As GoogleMap
    Private MapFragment1 As MapFragment
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    If MapFragment1.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable = False Then
     ToastMessageShow("Nope", True)
    End If
End Sub

Sub MapFragment1_Ready
   gmap = MapFragment1.GetMap
   Dim m1 As Marker = gmap.AddMarker(10, 30, "test")
   m1.Snippet = "Trololol"
End Sub

Above are my code for the google map. Why is it not opening up? Anybody know what is happening?

Thanks

You should upload your project (in the IDE under File-Export to zip) instead of posting incomplete info...

 

[Izmirov.Yaminovich]

Oops, sorry.

 

[DonManfred]

you are missing the needed manifestchanges for googlemaps (including your google api key).
You are also missing

#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps

Check your setup!

 

[Izmirov.Yaminovich]

Oh I see, thanks. Will update when the api key is installed

hi,
according to the tutorial in these links.
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-maps-android-v2-tutorial.24415/#content
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/start#creating_an_api_project
I'll have to download the android studio just to make it work. Is it a must to do so? or do I just use B4a instead?
Thanks

I have added in the manifest and the coding, but it is still not working. Did I did something wrong? got my google api key as well, does that mean that I have to follow the link that I last posted and download another android studio?

Sorry I'm such a noob in this.

 

[DonManfred]

but it is still not working

And you get WHICH error?

 

[Izmirov.Yaminovich]

Generating R file. Error
AndroidManifest.xml:33: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@Integer/google_play_services_version').

You are using an old version of B4A. Maven based libraries such as "com.google.android.gmslay-services-maps" will only work with B4A v6.

You need to remove this line and then follow the Google Maps tutorial.

 

[Izmirov.Yaminovich]

I tried replacing it with

#AdditionalRes: <google-play-services res folder>, com.google.android.gms

as shown in the tutorial, another error came out.

Generating R file. Error
AndroidManifest.xml:33: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@Integer/google_play_services_version').

I am guessing I really need to download the Android studio to help me deal with this? Though I don't know what it does though.

 

[Erel]

The best solution is to update to B4A v6.0.

Otherwise you need to install Google Play Services revision 29: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9555337/how-to-downgrade-my-sdk-version

U see, thanks
