However, when I press the menu button and then the "open visual friendtracker". the following error occurs:

Any ideas?? any help will be appreciated!

MapAPI key seems to me.

Thank you very much for replying. However, I found on other threads that this http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?p=12271 is what is shown on screen, when it is the MapApi key issue. On my screen, on the other hand, an error occurs. I will try your suggestion anyway, i just wanted to let you know, thanks again

Yes, it wasn't the MapAPI key..I did what plusminus says on another thread about the MapAPI key and I got registered for usage with google maps. However, I still get this error, when I press the "open visual friendtracker" on the menu. Did anyone else come across this??

I tried to debug and go line by line, and after I click on this, after finishing the onOptionsItemSelected() method, Please let me know if you have any ideas!!

cheers!!

did you get your MapAPI for real keystore or for debug ?

yorgosg · by **yorgosg** » Fri Dec 19, 2008 9:13 am

thanks for your reply..

well, i did the following:

C:>D:\Programme\dev\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin\keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore C:\Users\plusminus\AppData\Local\Android\debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android
androiddebugkey, 13.10.2008, PrivateKeyEntry,
Zertifikatsfingerabdruck (MD5): E1:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:BC

i guess that's for debug..

Hi, from the main menu, you need to click on Contacts and then click on menu to add contact.

i wish i can replicate the problem. I've seen something like you're seeing when I loaded mapview app in emulator and forgot to swap my map api strings.
Yes, this MD5 is for debug and it should work, assuming that after of what you've posted, you went to google and got the key for that.
May be you can search for answers in the console log . Give us your errors....

Hey, couple of things to check-

1) Is your GPS enabled ? Settings / Security & Location
2) List your permissions from the manifest .

Thank you very much avolovoy, I have resolved the error. It was actually stupid, I noticed that in the FriendFinderMap class it is setting the mylocation variable again, and for some strange reason the way it sets it, doesn't work; the mylocation variable remains null. That was the error..

Instead of

this.myLocation = myLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation("gps");

for me only the following works:

this.myLocation = new Location("gps");
this.myLocation.setLongitude( 46.51119 );
this.myLocation.setLatitude(-121.45356);

Thanks again!

Hey plus minus!
I am working on google maps. May application works fine on emulator but when i load it on real device, map doesnt show up. All i can see is grey tiles. On forums, i read that the maps api key i generated from debug store wont work on real device. They say that replace debug.keystore file with your own key store file but i dint read anywhere how to generate my own keystore file. Please help me out.

Hi.

I've done the tutorial, but there's a problem. I don't know why, but the screen appears black instead of showing the map.

If I click on menu button, I can see the tab.

No error, not even if debugging.

I also tried the downloaded source code and it has the same problem.

Some help please...

(And before someone asks, yes, I have the correct ApiKey)
