Hello,

Check your permissions. (i wrote that in a reply above the one with the 1.0 code)
To see the map you need the folowing permissions.
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using xml Syntax Highlighting
  1.  
  2.   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
  3.  
  4.   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
  5.  
  6.   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />
  7.  
  8.   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
  9.  
  10.   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ASSISTED_GPS" />
  11.  
  12.   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_CELL_ID" />
  13.  
  14.  
Parsed in 0.002 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4


I wrote also that the toggle didn't worked. (at the time of writing that, i had just started with the Android SDK)
You can let it work by writing some code with it, what is doing something like:
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using java Syntax Highlighting
  1.  
  2. if (myMapView.getSatellite != true) {
  3.  
  4.      myMapView.setsatelite(true);
  5.  
  6. }
  7.  
  8. else{
  9.  
  10.      myMapView.setTrafic(true);
  11.  
  12. }
  13.  
  14.  
Parsed in 0.031 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4


I hope this helps.

Cheers

Hi.

Is it necessary that GoogleMap is defined in XML of layout or is it OK just to create java object and assign it within MapActivity with setContentView method?

Hi.

I made the same application but I have blank screen (no map), as described before.
I've tried both on emulator and G1 (both have internet connection).
Any Ideas? May be my key is wrong? How do I check it?

aha! i had made a valid production key with the keystore i sign my apps with.

You need to make the key from the android debug keystore to get it to work in the emulator.

worked for me!

I'm still struggling problems, that i have white-grey screen with a Google sign on the bottom-left corner.
My ApiKey is correct and OK. I have tried test/dummy map application with that Key and it works.
In my logcat (of original app) i can find this warnings:
02-03 13:08:34.537: WARN/Maps_Persistence(202): Couldn't find file: /data/data/{project}/files/DATA_Preferences
02-03 13:08:34.559: WARN/Maps_Persistence(202): Couldn't find file: /data/data/{project}/files/DATA_Tiles
02-03 13:08:34.568: WARN/Maps(202): Couldn't restore map info, data == null

When I try this test/dummy map application, my logcat does not show these 3 warnings.
I have multi threaded application. Can be multi threading cause of the problem?

Any1?
