I currently running Smoked Glass V6.0.1. I tried updated my google maps to 4.1.1 and I get a invalid signature. According to google mobile help forums I am receiving this error because my build number doesn't match specific build numbers their application is designed to work with.
Has anyone else experience this problem?

I'm trying to get and display a live .kml file from maps.google.com using
CODE:.................
However after opening the mapview I get a notification saying "The community map could not be displayed because it contains errors"
I only get this error if I download the .kml directly from maps.google. If I copy the exact same link into my address bar, download the .kml file, and upload it elsewhere then it works fine. I would like to be able to get the maps directly from Google that way I can make a change and it would be immediately reflected to my users.
I want to use the Google Maps API in my Project. I signed up and got the API key also. When I run my application now I'm getting an error "Error generating final archive: Invalid keystore" I m really fed up. It is very difficult to use Maps in an application.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried this on 4 Different Roms (Smoked Glass 4, 5, 6 and Nextheme 0.9) And no matter what I do, if I use a custom sound for notifications, the phone upon restart will boot loop indefinitely, and the only way I can make it stop is to VERY quickly slide the mute left so the phone is muted the next time it boots, then it stops, or if I cant get that to work, I have to restore from a nandroid backup. I have the files on my sd card in /media/audio/notifications All lower case (but have tried with a cap) The only things that hasnt changed, is that I have only tried mp3 files. But I also tried, by using the Zedge Ringtones App to the same effect. Whats the deal? Any Ideas?
Currently running Nextheme 0.9 ESE81 R3
BaseBand C_01.3E.01P
Edit: Also worth note as it may help, its only notifications that causes this issue, custom ringtones and alarms are fine. Even using the same short (8 second) Mp3 as a ringtone causes no issue. And the mp3 plays in the list of notifications when you select it, as it should. The only thing i can think of is possibly that the phones mp3 decoder loads after the boot up sound? Is that even logical?
I'm running Cyanogenmod 6. I just noticed that I can't find Google voice or Google maps in the market. I do have the apps installed, but can't see them int he market to get updates. I tried out LFY1.7 and Ultimate Droid 1.0.0, and see the same issue.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI created a custom map in Google Maps "My Maps". Now i want to show that map on an android device, but not just opening it as a web page but showing it using MapView or smth similar. I want to be able to center on a place I have marked on the map etc. My custom map is a map containing the location of all gas stations in a city.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android and so I may be missing some very basic things here. I am trying to host custom KML files on a server behind my firewall and display those KML files on the Android emulator. I started by writing a simple app that uses an Intent to display the overlay and pointing the app at geo:0,0?q=
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/KML_Samples.kml. This works in the emulator.
Next I downloaded that KML file and posted it on my web server (Apache 2.2 on Fedora). I added an AddType directive for the .kml extension and restarted HTTPD. When I point my simple app's Intent to my internally hosted KML file I get the error "The community map could not be displayed because it contains errors." I added some code to try and download the KML file independently of the KML so I could check the status line and the like:
final HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpGet get = new HttpGet("http://mycompany.com/data/KML_Samples.kml");
try { final HttpResponse resp = client.execute(get);
android.util.Log.e("MapOverlays", resp.toString());
} catch (Throwable t) {
android.util.Log.e("MapOverlays", "Exception", t);
}
With a breakpoint on the first Log message line I can inspect the results:
statusline = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
Content-Type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml
Here's the Intent I'm using:
final Intent intent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=http://mycompany.com/data/KML_Samples.kml"));
startActivity(intent);
So the two main questions are
What do I need to do to get KML loaded from a private server?
What tools are available (if any) to determine what is wrong with what I've done (something more informative than "The community map...")?
I've been stuck for ages now trying to implement threading or background image loading for a custom tile overlay class I've been working on. I'm pretty useless when it comes to Java so threading isn't something I've had any experience with. Basically I have extended an ItemizedOverlay and in the draw() method calculate the tiles I need to display over the standard google tiles then fetch those images with a URLConnection and using BitmapFactory decode them and draw them to the canvas at the correct position on the screen so that the images are on top of the google tiles with about 50% opacity (the custom tiles are cellphone network coverage png's which are used for our web app). I initially got this all working with the tiles loading in the correct places but hit issues with memory and "freezing" while panning so implemented some basic caching and memory management to only store the tiles that are displayed on the map in memory and when downloading a tile store it to SD card.
Then I figured the freezing while panning is due to the blocking nature of downloading the images so, have been trying to implement threading. I created a class that extends AsyncTask to download the images in the background and store them to SD, in the onPostExecute method I then try to draw all the tiles. But onPostExecute never seems to fire, now I know that the AsyncTask has to be called in the main ui thread so tried to debug the execution with Thread.currentThread().getId() calls through out the code. The thread Ids through out is 1 and then 10 for the doInBackground method for the AsyncTask. Now I'm not sure if 1 is the main UI thread or not. In the extended MapActivity class I have, the onCreate method's Thread.currentThread().getId() returns 1 but I'm not sure if the MapActivity class is executed in the main ui thread? Here Romain Guy mentions that the onPostExecute method should have @Override but when I do that eclipse flags it as an error
"The method onPostExecute(Boolean...) of type TileCache.ImageLoadTask must override or implement a supertype method"
So I guess something is wrong there but the only fix eclipse offers is to remove the @Override
So I guess with out post all my source code, the question's I have are:
Is the MapActivity onCreate method called in the main ui thread?
What does the @Override error mean? or why does it show that error
Does anyone have an example of a custom tile overlay implementation with background image loading and tile caching?
I am amazed to see the size of the google OS community. it is quite mind blowing to see the many passionate people here and at other sites. now to my question:
I have noticed everyone here in the states have voice turning gps. I have the motorola android phone but I do not have the navigation? why is this? how may i acquire this software? i am willing to pay what ever cost.
Does the dx have Google maps and navigation pre loaded or do you have to get from the market. Or do you have to use vz navigater.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI used the Droid/Google GPS over Christmas to get from Tx to Fla... smooth as butter. Satellite view of the route was amazing.Since then I've rooted with SMUpdater and installed the newest Google Maps, as well as SetCPU, running at 800,000.I used the GPS yesterday and though it worked great, it was a bit laggy, took a while to fill in with satellite view from time to time, especially if I tried to zoom in at any point.Is the rendering of the map reliant more upon the speed of the processor or upon the speed of the internet -- and could any of the updates or mods affected this/

View 11 Replies View RelatedLots of time while driving in an area i am not familiar with, I just want to keep google maps up so I can double check where I am going/at. I am not using navigation or directions, just seeing how far I am from hwy, if there are other roads to bypass traffic, etc.
I normally just keep my phone at this point in the cupholder, and will pick it up at a red light to glance at it.
Of course, i have about 5 seconds as the light has already turned green, and of course, the screen has already blanked out. So now i have to hit the power button, hard to find with one hand and maybe the keybd is out, then unlock phone, etc.
I read some threads about different programs, screebl, etc, but I just want that when google maps is up, the screen never blanks out. Ideally, it would be great if the screen dims, and if you touch it it comes back to full power, but that is the ultimate way. Just staying on is fine.
I went to the Market today and noticed Google Maps was automatically updating (I'm using Froyo 2.2 on the Moto Droid). After it downloaded, it said Installing... then it said "Installation of Google Maps unsuccessful". When I go to the app in the market itself, it says "A manual update is required." However, when browsing the "Downloads" section, there is no "Update available" next to Google Maps. all it says is "free" as if its not even installing when it is indeed installed. Anyone know how to fix this issue?
