The map only show grid not any map information on Android emulator

[Murat Olmez]

I have a map key and I put it into build.yml like this:
android:
  version: 2.2
  mapping: true
  apikey: 0bpnJO3QG16PCOUEDxa........MYOWNKEY (I think this one is not needed on emulator but I add this just to be sure)

What am i missing?
I puts the info into log and thay show ok (@postcode.lat @postcode.lng)

Thanks in advance,
Murat

my controler has a method like:

def map_it

       @postcode = Postcode.find(@params['id'])

      map_params = {

          :settings => {:map_type => "hybrid",:region => [@postcode.lat, @postcode.lng, 0.2, 0.2],

                        :zoom_enabled => true,:scroll_enabled => true,:shows_user_location => false,

                        :api_key => 'My own api key'},

          :annotations => [{

                             :latitude => @postcode.lat,

                             :longitude => @postcode.lng,

                             :title => "Current location",

                             :subtitle => ""

 #                            ,url => "/app/Postcode/{#{$pcodeResult.object}}"

                          }]

     }



     puts "##028#######################################################"

     puts map_params.inspect

     puts "##029#######################################################"



     MapView.create map_params

     WebView.refresh

     redirect :action => :index

    

    

  end

We have many such reports and in all cases it was wrong API key. Please
follow _strictly_ procedure of retrieving API key from Google - in case
if key is wrong Maps API does not return any error and even does not
report about that in log - it just draw gray grid.

And, of course, you need installed Google API add-on to Android SDK.
Just read
http://wiki.rhomobile.com/index.php/BuildingRhodes#Prerequisites_5 -
strict following of the described steps should solve the problem.

I am sure that I am missing somethink but i have no idea what.

This is what I got from key generation:
************
Thank you for signing up for an Android Maps API key!

Your key is:

0bpnJO3QG16Mzu7dSXxXhao_BcFyjBsdhCQyNbA

This key will work for all apps signed with your certificate whose
fingerprint is:

68:B6:91:00:5E:97:5B:03:4D:E2:EB:CB:F1:EF:7F:69

Here is a sample xml layout to get you started on your way to mapping
glory:

<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

android:apiKey="0bpnJO3QG16Mzu7dSXxXhao_BcFyjBsdhCQyNbA"
/>

This is what I am seeing in the logcat:

so I put the map call in a variable and print it into file:
I/APP ( 299): I 12/29/2010 00:52:46:681 002881a0
APP| {:settings=>{:map_type=>"hybrid", :region=>["52.105833",
"5.015278", 0.2,
0.2], :zoom_enabled=>true, :scroll_enabled=>true, :shows_user_location=>true, :api_key=>"0bpnJO3QG16Mzu7dSXxXhao_BcFyjBsdhCQyNbA"}, :annotations=>[{:l
atitude=>"52.105833", :longitude=>"5.015278", :title=>"Current
location", :subtitle=>""}]}

I also tried with hard coded lat lan with no success

@postcode = Postcode.find(@params['id'])

map_params = {

:settings => {:map_type => "hybrid",:region => [52.105833,
5.015278, 0.2, 0.2],

:zoom_enabled => true,:scroll_enabled =>

true,:shows_user_location => true,

:api_key =>
'0bpnJO3QG16Mzu7dSXxXhao_BcFyjBsdhCQyNbA'},

:annotations => [{

:latitude => @postcode.lat,

:longitude => @postcode.lng,

:title => "Current location",

:subtitle => ""

# ,url => "/app/Postcode/
{#{$pcodeResult.object}}"

}]

}



puts
"##028#######################################################"

puts map_params.inspect

puts
"##029#######################################################"



MapView.create map_params

WebView.refresh

redirect :action => :index

end

What is going wrong?
Sure I am missing something.

Did you have this key specified in your application's build.yml as
described at
http://wiki.rhomobile.com/index.php/Building_Rhodes_on_Supported_Platforms#Prerequisites_5?
There are two keys involved in Maps API - one is common Google Maps key
and another is Android specific API key. These keys are different.
Android key can not be specified in runtime - it must be included to the
app on build stage while common Maps key is not so strict. I know this
looks ugly but this is how Google API designed - on Android it is bound
to the certificate which you use to sign final apk (even for debug and
on emulator).

Dmitry,

Yes I put my key (I have only one. The one that I sen on prvious mail)
in build.yml.

I also tryied with/without putting my api key in map_params section in
the controler but no success.


here is my build.yml:
sdk: "C:/APPS/RoR/InstantRhodes/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
rhodes-2.2.6"

sdkversion: 2.2.6

name: geonames

version: 1.0

vendor: rhomobile

build: debug

bbver: 4.6

wmsdk: "Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK (ARMV4I)"

applog: rholog.txt

sdk: iphonesimulator4.0

provisionprofile:

android:

version: 2.2

mapping: true

apikey: 0bpnJO3QG16Mzu7dSXxXhao_BcFyjBsdhCQyNbA

[molmez]

While I was typing my previous mail I was also reinstalling and
configuring my Android SDK/NDK what ever
comes from google (No changes on the rhomobile installation or code
changes on my app).

And after reinstall and re configuration of those SDK NDK , it begin
to show the map on emulator!!!
Just a huge cleansing on whatever comes through google.

So I can go further with my development now.

Thanks for your time Dmitry.

Cheers,
Murat
