Google Maps API v2 not working
I am trying to build an application using Google Maps API v2 but the thing is, the application keeps giving me force closes although i followed all the required instructions.
Here is the android part
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
import com.google.android.maps.MapController;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;
public class GPSonMap extends FragmentActivity{
MapView map;
MapController controller;
LocationManager locationManager;
LocationListener listener;
PendingIntent pendingIntent ;
Criteria criteria;
MapOverlay overlay;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle onsaved)
{
super.onCreate(onsaved);
setContentView(R.layout.map);
Log.d("", "entered");
map = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.mapView);
}
and here is the XML
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MapsActivity" >
<fragment
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:id="@+id/mapView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
and this is my Manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

One other problem I face, is that when i try to
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
it gives an error that it doesnt recognise a package name to be com.google.android.gms so i cant even use the GoogleMapor MapFragment for example.
So does anyone have any solution to those 2 problems?
Answer
HOW TO DISPLAY GOOGLE MAP via Google Maps API v2 on Android.
NOTE that All of two case are required to set the Google Play service and Manifest file including Several permissions and API key.
1. Display Google Map in (Support)Fragment.
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- This can go anywhere in your layout (see other demos for some examples). -->
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>
MainActivity.java
/**
* This shows how to create a simple activity with a map and a marker on the map.
* <p>
* Notice how we deal with the possibility that the Google Play services APK is not
* installed/enabled/updated on a user's device.
*/
public class BasicMapActivity extends android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity {
/**
* Note that this may be null if the Google Play services APK is not available.
*/
private GoogleMap mMap;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
setUpMapIfNeeded();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
setUpMapIfNeeded();
}
/**
* Sets up the map if it is possible to do so (i.e., the Google Play services APK is correctly
* installed) and the map has not already been instantiated.. This will ensure that we only ever
* call {@link #setUpMap()} once when {@link #mMap} is not null.
* <p>
* If it isn't installed {@link SupportMapFragment} (and
* {@link com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
* MapView}) will show a prompt for the user to install/update the Google Play services APK on
* their device.
* <p>
* A user can return to this Activity after following the prompt and correctly
* installing/updating/enabling the Google Play services. Since the Activity may not have been
* completely destroyed during this process (it is likely that it would only be stopped or
* paused), {@link #onCreate(Bundle)} may not be called again so we should call this method in
* {@link #onResume()} to guarantee that it will be called.
*/
private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
// Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the map.
if (mMap == null) {
// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
// Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (mMap != null) {
setUpMap();
}
}
}
/**
* This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case, we
* just add a marker near Africa.
* <p>
* This should only be called once and when we are sure that {@link #mMap} is not null.
*/
private void setUpMap() {
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(0, 0)).title("Marker"));
}
}
2. Display MapView in (Support)Fragment.
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- This can go anywhere in your layout. -->
<com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
MainActivity.java
/**
* This shows how to create a simple activity with a raw MapView and add a marker to it. This
* requires forwarding all the important lifecycle methods onto MapView.
*/
public class RawMapViewDemoActivity extends android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity {
private MapView mMapView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.map);
mMapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mMapView.onResume();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
mMapView.onPause();
super.onPause();
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
mMapView.onDestroy();
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public void onLowMemory() {
super.onLowMemory();
mMapView.onLowMemory();
}
}
