Hi, Don't know if this will still be useful, but here goes.
To bring up a map on the emulator I have 3 different parts: 1) A Class that extends MapActivity Something like.... import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity; import android.os.Bundle; public class MapApp extends MapActivity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); } @Override protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() { return false; } } 2) The layout file, here main.xml, should be something like.... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/mapView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:enabled="true" android:clickable="true" android:apiKey="my_api_key" /> </LinearLayout> *** Where my_api_key is your own api key. 3) And lastly there are 2 bits you will need to add to your manifest.xml file.... a) <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" / > <------- This goes inbetween the <application> </application> tags b) <uses-permission xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"> <------- I've put this after the </application> tag </uses-permission> This might not be the quickest, best etc way to do it but it will show a map you can pan around (look at the api if you want to add zoom functionality) Hope this was what you were asking for and not a waste of time haha :D --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
