Loading GeoJson file in App inventor

[Someshvar Vashisht]

Hi I'am having problems loading geoJson into featureCollections 

When i use FeatureCollection or Map .LoadFromUrl where the url =http://geojson.io/#map=18/23.24258/56.41976 

It apparently succeds (as so far as the GotFeatures event fires. The Features of the Event are also correct but no features are added to the map or featureCollection  (the features remain a empty list)
If a try to set the featurecollection to a url or a asset with the same content  I reserve a 500 internal server error
The question is there any one that has a working working example where loading a geoJson works?

Even if i upload the gejson , it gives "Internal error" which I reported so many times.

My project is stuck...

Works fine.  Did you create a geojson object and save it to your PC then load the Map.geojson in Media?

The link tool to create a geogjson file is on the left,  the rendering of the saved Map.geojson is on the right.

Does this help?

Regards,

Steve

Yes. geojson file loads in media but when i choose this media in featurescollection , it shows "internal error".

Try loading the attached geojson in Media.  It works on my device   If it does not work, explain how you are linking to the file.  You can do it easily in the Designer properties by setting the file in Media   to   FeatureCollection   Source    Make sure you are using Companion version 2.51 .

Hi!

It's working with the GeoJson file u sent to me.

But what is the mistake I am making in GeoJson file? I did it successfully a few months ago in one of the apps.

Post your blocks and or a screen capture of your Designer screen  here in the Forum please.  Your video will not help me.

Hi Someshvar,

The URL you provide won't work. The reason being that it contains a HTML fragment (everything after the #), which has to be evaluated by the client. The Maps component is expecting that when it retrieves content from a URL that it will be a valid GeoJSON. Accessing that URL will result in an HTML page with JavaScript that eventually results in it doing the right thing. If the site you are using can provide a permalink (a form of link where the contents will be stable) for the GeoJSON, then it should work with the maps component. Otherwise, your best bet is to download the file as a geojson file and then upload it into App Inventor.

My guess is that the internal error is due to the fact that we are expecting GeoJSON and you upload a saved copy of the HTML page, which then fails in an interesting way.

Regards,

Evan
