error: package com.google.android.gms.maps (and many others) does not exist

[S. Dale Morrey]

Hello,

I decided to migrate my android only app which is really map heavy and thus slow to the new nativemaps library discussed here http://www.codenameone.com/3/post/2014/03/mapping-natively.html
I've tried my best to adapt the code and it builds and runs fine in simulator, but when I send it to the build server I get....

And it just goes on pretty much forever.
I included the cn1lib in my lib folder and hit refresh libs.

The code in question looks like this...
    @Override
    protected void postMain(Form f) {
        Container nMapTab = findNativeMapTab();
        final MapContainer cnt = new MapContainer();
        Vector<MapObject> points = Application.getInstance().getAllPoints();
        Enumeration<MapObject> elements = points.elements();
        while(elements.hasMoreElements()){
            MapObject point = elements.nextElement();
            cnt.addMarker(null, point.getLocation(),point.getName(), point.getFormattedAddress(), new MapSelectListener());
        }
        nMapTab.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        nMapTab.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER, cnt);
     }

I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here.  Thanks for any help!

Hi,
read the article carefully this is a pretty complex feature and you need to do a lot to get it right.
These particular errors are due to a missing build argument in your project settings specifically the one that adds google play services. However, I'm assuming that if that's missing you might have quite a few others missing.
