I have a DROID using Android 2.2
I am attempting to get the simplest MapActivity to run on the device. (NetBeans latest and greatest using a Google Api build target.)
I have all the appropriate Manifest entries, the simplest OnCreate --- > all it does is setContextView() to the xml with a mapview in it.

Currently in my design I've got a base abstract class that all of my activities extend from, however I discovered recently that in order to use a MapView you need to make your activity extend MapActivity. Since Java does not have multiple inheritance I was wondering if there is any way I can use a MapView without having to recreate my design for my application.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was surprised to see a couple major shortcomings in the design of MapView and MapActivity.
First, MapView requires itself to be hosted in a MapActivity. According to the documentation,
A MapView can only be constructed (or inflated) by a MapActivity<http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/reference/com/goog...>.
> This is because it depends on threads which access the network and > filesystem in the background; these threads must be shepherded by the > lifecycle management in MapActivity<[url]...>. > Tiles are cached on the filesystem in your application's directory.

Is there a way to display a MapView without extending MapActivity? I have other Activity class which I'm extending and I would prefer not to change that... I've seen that you can inflate using MapActivity, but didn't find any spec/examples on how to do it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got an Activity that extends MapActivity. it uses ViewGroup.removeAllViews() & LayoutInflater.inflate() to changes parts of itself. if it creates then deletes then [re]creates a MapView using the above method, it gets an exception during inflate that says: "You are only allowed to have a single MapView in a MapActivity"

I'm having problems getting a MapActivity to work on 1.5r2. As far as I can tell I've done everything I need to do, but what am I missing? The Google Maps key was generated on the Google Maps website using the Debug keystore at the location in my Android setup.
What does "Unable to resolve superclass of Lcom/bgies/truckerphonetest/DirectionActivity;" actually mean? As far as I can tell, the activity is setup properly.... At least it is setup exactly the same way I have other activities setup... with the exception that it's the only activity that has a mapView in it.
I can't run it either on my G1 or the emulator... so I assume it's something I am doing wrong. The project setup does have the Google APIs [Android 1.5], and the AVD for the emulator does show the target as Google APIs when I select it.
From my Android Manifest :

I have a problem with firing an activity that extends MapActivity. When it gets called, it throws a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError... not sure what this is supposed to mean. I think something goes wrong with the external implementation of the maps API (maps.jar). Has anyone come across that problem? Here's the srack trace:

I want to add a MapActivity in an ActivtyGroup. As only single level inheritance is supported, my class can either extend from either MapActivity or ActivityGroup. As far as I know MapActivity is not a part of ActivityGroup. I want an activity to extend MapActivty as well be a part of an ActivityGroup.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got an app using MapActivity.onCreate() to initialize the map and show it on screen. Now I would like to add a menu to my app. From what I've found out I can't add a menu from MapActivity and need to use Activity (correct me if I'm wrong).
Now I have no idea how to "initialize" the map from my Activity-class.
And how would I have to fix the views, will I wrap my activity-layout around my Map-layout?
I have attached a mapview to my layout and have a it showing a compass and my current location, the problem I have is that there is no street map shown in the view, so basically I just see the compass and my current location over a blank grid.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use the terrainview in a MapActivity. The only way for now i could think to use the terrainview is using the browser- based version of Google Maps rather than using the native implementation, but that would not be my preferred way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a release keystore using the Eclipse IDE. I signed it using keytool and registered on Google Maps. I plugged in the key but my map doesn't show up. Maps show up properly when I use the key associated with my debug keystore. How can I diagnose this? I followed the same steps as i did with debug, for release.

I have a TabActivity that loads in 3 activity classes.In those Activity classes I have a button and an OnClickListener that tries to open a MapActivity class.I have searched to find an example of an Activity class launching a MapActivity class but cannot find one. If I swap out my MapActivity class with a Activity class it works.

An Activity that extends from MapActivity Uses ItemizedOverlay to show some balloons on the map ZoomControls are enabled
The ItemizeOverlay implements onTap(...) which works perfectly ok when tapping one of the overlay items.
The question is: How to identify a tap on another part of the map (with the intention of getting the location and center'ing on that point)

I have an application which has 11 different activities. One of these activities is an extension of MapActivity (it is a map for data visualization). To get to this activity the user must first travel through the launch activity, then 3 other activities.

How to add a maps.jar in my project?
Why I have to code so much for it. Like, I dont want to care about...the position of the balloon (I just want to assign a geopoint) the layout of a basic balloon (Later on I might want to implement a xml based layout) the number of shown balloons (only display one at a time) the open/close behaviour of the balloon (close, when an other bollon is tabbed)
