Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

2013-05-01 Thread user123

I didn't create a release keystore because I have not released yet, and I 
didn't need it. I was using the debug keystore.

I created the release keystore when I was finished, to put the app in 
Google Play.

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

2013-04-30 Thread Craig Payne

Hi Ian,

You mean I can use my release key for development also? I do have one, of
course, but I will have to look into how to do this. Can you point me in
the right direction, perhaps?  That solution will still be a bit fiddly,
because I have a FREE and PRO version of the app which both use different
certs.

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

2013-04-29 Thread Craig Payne

Ian, this is not quite true. I am a developer with an app on the market, 
and I have an existing v1 API key. The problem is, because the debug 
certificate has a default expiry of 365 days, I can't use it any more (it 
expired in September).  This will be the case for most developers, because 
it is the default setting.

I also didn't realise v1 was being deprecated.  I would expect Google to 
have contacted me by email about this, as I registered for the API key, 
have an app on Google Play using maps, and was informed via email that 
Google Maps v2 for websites would be deprecated in favour of v3.  I'm 
pretty shocked about the way this has been handled for Android, and hold 
Google to a higher standard.

So to fix my small bug, I will be forced to upgrade to v2, which is only 
supported by Android 2.2 and above. 8% of my users are stuck on 1.6 because 
of fragmentation issues, and you can bet I will be getting some nasty 
reviews from them on Google Play if I stop supporting their devices.

Is there any way to either extend my certificate or change my API key, or 
am I screwed?

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

2013-04-27 Thread user123

I have a key but for the debug keystore. That is what I was using during
development. I didn't know that I need a new key for the release keystore.
Probably I just missed that information - or thought that I would get it
when I release (I don't remember).

There is a world of a difference, Ian, between updating our software
and completely breaking an entire set of APIs. Google did the latter. Many
other companies instead keep the old APIs working for years, encouraging
developers to develop only for the new API set.

But we *are* keeping the old APIs working for years. The deprecation is
following the normal Google policy. Existing users will be supported for
some time to come--something on the order of three years, if I recall
correctly. What we're not doing is issuing new keys. I'm unable to think of
a way of deprecating an API that's significantly more fair than that.

Now Google may have had a good reason for completely scrapping v1 and
forcing everyone to migrate to v2 with no backwards compatibility -- but
did Google ever communicate this to developers? I never saw this.
Evidently, neither did a number of contributors to this thread.

We did communicate this via G+ and a fairly prominent paragraph on the
Maps API page. We probably could have done more communicating directly from
the Android team. As it was, we let the Maps team communicate the change,
and perhaps missed many Android developers.

Finally, why are you even asking if he got a v1 API key? Even his first
post should have made it clear that he got further than that in the
development process. For you to insinuate that he did not even get this far
shows both laziness on your part and contempt for Google's customers and
partners, developers.

I think you're being overly harsh with me and overly kind to the OP. I'm
not familiar with his development process, but I'm fairly certain that had
he requested a key, it would still be operational (see my comments about
the deprecation policy, above). If I understood the original post, the
developer claimed that he fully developed an app, waited for a period of
several months, and then requested a key just before he intended to go
live. Perhaps he used someone else's key during development?

In any case, you appear to be assuming that we shut down a service without
informing its users. This is not the case. We stopped accepting new users
into a service which we intend to keep online for a period of several
years. No existing users were affected by this change. No users who
obtained an API key before beginning development (as they were clearly
instructed to do) should have been affected.

Hence, my question. If the OP has a key that is not working, then I will
do everything within my power to fix that for him. However, it appears that
what he has is no key, and no plausible reason for why he didn't obtain a
key when it was possible for him to do so. That's significantly more
difficult for me to fix.
Thanks

development. I didn't think about that I need a new key for the release
keystore. Or probably I let it for later (don't remember), since I also
hadn't created the release keystore.

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

2013-04-25 Thread lbendlin

The OP most likely used a debug key throughout and thought he could switch to a 
release key when he was ready to release. 

The real issue here is not the missing option to get a v1 key - it is the 
horrible performance of v2 especially for fast moving maps and the poor memory 
management.

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

2013-04-24 Thread Indicator Veritatis

There is a world of a difference, Ian, between updating our software and 
completely breaking an entire set of APIs. Google did the latter. Many 
other companies instead keep the old APIs working for years, encouraging 
developers to develop only for the new API set.

Now Google may have had a good reason for completely scrapping v1 and 
forcing everyone to migrate to v2 with no backwards compatibility -- but 
did Google ever communicate this to developers? I never saw this. 
Evidently, neither did a number of contributors to this thread.

Finally, why are you even asking if he got a v1 API key? Even his first 
post should have made it clear that he got further than that in the 
development process. For you to insinuate that he did not even get this far 
shows both laziness on your part and contempt for Google's customers and 
partners, developers.

We did communicate this via G+ and a fairly prominent paragraph on the Maps
API page. We probably could have done more communicating directly from the
Android team. As it was, we let the Maps team communicate the change, and
perhaps missed many Android developers.

Hence, my question. If the OP has a key that is not working, then I will do
everything within my power to fix that for him. However, it appears that
what he has is no key, and no plausible reason for why he didn't obtain a
key when it was possible for him to do so. That's significantly more
difficult for me to fix.

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

2013-04-23 Thread Latimerius

I'd say Google has multiple ways of announcing important changes, like this
list, (the front page of) developer.android.com, G+, blogs etc. For
breaking changes, ideally all of them should be used. I don't think Google
has to rely on developers being registered in some way to communicate
breaking changes in APIs and behaviours.

I got bitten by the app encryption resurrection last year which broke any
app that accesses resources/assets of another package. Like a fair amount
of apps, we use a distribution model where the core app is free and can be
extended by paid expansions, each of which is distributed in its own APK
from Google Play. App encryption redux meant that accessing expansion
APK's assets/ directory from the core app started to fail, silently - no
errors indicated, no exceptions thrown, the expansion APK just seemed empty.

I believe changes like this should be announced (at least) months ahead of
time. There should be explanations of ramifications, there should be
migration guides etc. etc. Instead, there was nothing - a two-line mention
of app encryption in a change-log blog post but not a word about what it
means for people like myself. I apologise if I'm missing anything but
googling for an official description of the change and its effects turned
out nothing in February still. Docs for createPackageContext() even still
say [The returned] Context is the same as what the named application gets
when it is launched. ;-) If it weren't for an excellent blog post by
Nikolay Elenkov (thanks Nikolay!) I'd probably never know what hit me, or
it would have taken me days or weeks to find out.

Note that I'm not criticising the app encryption change itself, just the
way it was (not) communicated. A change that closes previously open access
to something is pretty obvious to break something so acting like this can
make you look arrogant.

Although your efforts must have been massive with the map api v1, I guess
moving to map api v2 will not be huge effort as it is much cleaner than v1.
I had to move to api v2 myself from v1 while I was half-way through the
development but, once I spent a day or two with it, I realised that it was
very easy for example, list of markers using itemoverlay can be easily
implemented using marker object which allows easy display of additional
information on clicking the marker. Then, I do not know what kind of
animated radius circle you have but, you can easily show polygons in new
map api version.

So, given you have no other option, give it a shot with a open head.

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

@Ibendlin
Thank you for the friendly response. Who are you anyway? I would expect 
Google to care, at least. Hopefully I'm not asking to much. My career 
doesn't revolve around only Google, and I have other things to do than 
checking each x months if one API has been discontinuated and I need to 
develop everything again.

@Ankita
Yes, if there's no other option, I guess I have to. But big minus from my 
side for Google, even if nobody cares about me (which is also evidently 
the case / another minus). If find this respectless for developers. Great 
that Google advances quickly, I also saw good stuff in maps v2. But the 
point is that I planned this release, I was occupied with other things, and 
I am being forced now to delay release (how long? no idea, I don't know the 
new API), and then it has to be tested again, etc.  Just because I didn't 
get an API key for production before March 18.

I can google the information myself. This is not any serious help. What I

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?

2013-04-22 Thread Indicator Veritatis

In your message starting this thread, you say: The context: I finished an 
app a few months ago. I want to release it now.

Well, it appears Google has, in its infinite wisdom, decided during those 
few months not to give anyone a v1 key. Of course, this is inconsiderate 
to developers, but Google is like that. Even in its worst days, Apple had 
better relations with independent developers.

But no doubt Google would ask, well, what were you doing in those 'few 
months' that you did not notice the need to update your app for the new 
API? Android developers have to roll with the punches and live with this 
kind of abuse from Google, we cannot change it.

Complain if you have to to get it out of your system, but then move on. 
Either drop the app or rewrite it to use the new API.

[android-developers] Maps API v2 and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

2013-01-08 Thread Jamie

The official documentation for MAPS API v2 states the following:

Besides permissions required by other parts of your application, you must 
add the following permissions in order to use the Google Maps Android API:

   - 
android.permission.INTERNEThttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#INTERNET
 Used 
   by the API to download map tiles from Google Maps servers.
   - com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES Allows the 
   API to access Google web-based services.
   - 
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGEhttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
 Allows 
   the API to cache map tile data in the device's external storage area.

My client has requested that we do not use the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE 
permission. So my question is, is it really true that this permission is 
mandatory when using the Maps V2 API and will bad things happen if I don't 
include it? Since the mapping functionality is not a key feature of the 
application I am more than happy to take any hit with regards to lake of 
map cacheing.

Many thanks,

Jamie

Re: [android-developers] Maps API v2 and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

2013-01-08 Thread Mark Murphy

I haven't tried withholding that permission. You are welcome to give
it a shot. I see three possible outcomes:

1. You crash immediately, just as you will if you do not have the
uses-feature element for OpenGL ES 2.0, as Maps V2 checks some of
this stuff as part of its initialization.

2. You crash almost immediately, when Maps V2 goes to store data on
external storage and fails due to not having the permission.

3. You succeed today, but will still have the possibility of #1 or #2
in future updates to the Play Services library.

Re: [android-developers] Maps API v2 and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

2013-01-08 Thread Jamie

I think it's definitely option 3, as everything appears to work but I then 
live in fear that it can die at any random point in the future.

I think I'll give the client the option with a strong opinion that they 
really should include it and if they take the risk to exclude that is up to 
them!

Cheers,

Jamie

[android-developers] Maps API Key doesn't seem to work.

2012-11-08 Thread Electric Shipwright

Hi guys! -I've searched the forum but the proposed solutions to similar 
problems doesn't do it for me;
When I define my MapView with the API Key generated from the MD5 sum 
off of the debug keystore file, the maps load up fine on my device. (and 
the emulator)
When I define my MapView with the API Key generated from the MD5 sum 
off of the release keystore file, the maps are blank.

I checked the signing keystore several times, as well as its MD5 sum and 
the resulting API Key, and everything seems to be in order.

I'd like to generate a new keystore and upload the app with that, but the 
Map Feature is an addition to an existing app on the store,
so I can't (easily) upload it without creating a new Google Play entry. I'm 
clueless on what to do, I've been fighting with this for a week now.

[android-developers] Maps API : drawing driving itinerary

2012-05-17 Thread Simon Giddings

I am developing a maps application which will display a user defined 
driving itinerary.
I obtain the driving directions from the Directions Web Service and parse 
the json response in a separate thread.

I then hand the resulting itinerary object to my custom overlay for display.
Before appending the overlay to the maps overlay list, I decode the 
polyline strings to obtain the coordinates.

My drawing code obtains the projection object and draws out the line - this 
is taking 18 seconds ! ! !
Here is my code :

@Override
public void draw(Canvas cv, MapView view, boolean shadow)
{
GeoCoordsE6 point = null;  // utility class holding a geopoint and 
a point class with a method to handle projection manipulation
int iScreenWidth = view.getWidth();
int iScreenHeight = view.getHeight();
Paint paintLine = null;new Paint();

if(shadow)
{
super.draw(cv, view, shadow);
return;
}

long lStartMs = android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();

paintLine = new Paint();
paintLine.setColor(m_iLineClr);
paintLine.setAntiAlias(true);
paintLine.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paintLine.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
paintLine.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
paintLine.setStrokeWidth(4);

Knowing that a number of people have done similar tasks, can anyone advise

Should I be building a path object and fill it with ALL of the points ?

First step: use TraceView to determine exactly what is taking the longest
so you know *what* to optimize.

[android-developers] Maps API - internal persistence of data

2012-05-12 Thread Simon Giddings

I am building a maps api application and have noticed that the map position 
and zoom levels are restored upon subsequent application launches.

Is it possible to access this persistence store so as to be able to control 
and detect what data is going to be restored.
This would be notably useful to not have to reinvent the same process.

In addition, it would appear that it will restore the last position using a 
default marker - which in my case is not necessarily what is needed.

I would prefer being able to do this through correct api calls as opposed 
to hacking it.

Not that I am aware of.

I cannot reproduce that behavior. I see no markers if I have not added
them myself via an overlay.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your rapid reply (notably for a Saturday).

You are right - I spoke too soon.  I was creating the marker myself (*now 
that's embarrassing*).
It would appear that the last location, zoom level and map type is 
preserved.

It would still be good to be able to grab this, I feel.

[android-developers] Maps API and legacy

2010-09-29 Thread arnouf

Hi all,

I found this post

This posting 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2023669/j2me-android-blackberry-driving-directions-route-between-two-locations
suggests that you must not use the Map Service with any applications
for route guidance, including but not limited to turn-by-turn route
guidance that is synchronized to the position of a user's sensor-
enabled device

so if I understand we can use maps API to retrieve a route between two
points (and kml file provided by the URL) and draw on a mapview the
way. Is it right ?

Thanks for your answer

[android-developers] Maps API - controlling size of streets, font?

2010-07-29 Thread JP

Out of the box, MapView's presentation of streets and their labels
(street names) is rather small-ish. Is there any way to control this?
Comparing a MapView-based app against Google's Maps app, the
difference is rather obvious, in particular when zooming out. Has
anybody found a switch to modify the behavior of the underlying
MapView to get closer to where Googls Maps' behavior is?

There's a lot that Google Map's app does that MapView does not but should.
I'm willing to bet Google has their own improved version of the maps library
that they work on and with and have long since forgotten about making any
improvements the library distributed to developers. This guarantees their
Maps app is better than anything other developers could ever hope to make.

[android-developers] Maps API keyword search

2010-04-05 Thread Andi Lee

is there any possibility to search the maps for keywords? e.g. search
for pizza and I'll get a list of results near my location. i found
the pizza-sample for a about 2year old SDK version which doesn't
work anymore (http://davanum.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/working-with-
google-androids-maps-aka-search-for-pizza/). i found the Geocoder
class with the getFromLocationName method but this doesn't give me any
results when i search for e.g. pizza but works e.g. for austria. i
also found the GmmGeocoder which seems to have a query method - but
does also not exist anymore.

i'm now searching for about 5 hours without any results. the only
thing what i want is the same functionality like the maps application.
when you search for pizza in the maps application, you'll find a
list of results. i would need these results in my android application

any help would be appreciated

[android-developers] Maps API on platform 1.5

2010-04-01 Thread Felipe Sodré Silva

Hi. This might be a dummy question, but I just can't find a solution for it.

I'm trying to write my first map application for android 1.5 following this
tutorial: http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/using-google-maps-android

However, when I make my activity class to extend from MapActivity, Eclipse
complains that there's no such class/interface (it underlines it red). Is
there a JAR file I should add to my class path or something like that to
make Eclipse find MapActivity class?

Thanks in advance!

- Android 1.5
- Android 1.6
- Android 2.0

I think you're reading the wrong TOS.

When you sign up for a developer API key for Android

there is a a different TOS, which states:

Hello,

Access to the maps API at

http://www.google.com/glm/mmap

was disabled some time ago.

Would someone be able to tell if it was replaced, and what the current
access path is?

Alternatively, I would appreciate it if someone could give me some
information regarding getting access equivalent to that provided by
Yahoo via

http://zonetag.research.yahooapis.com/services/rest/V1/cellLookup.php

Thanks.

[android-developers] maps api and 1.5

2009-04-18 Thread wayne mcfadden- Red Droid


Sorry guys, originally i posted to discussion which is the wrong
place.



I'm migrating over an application from 1.1 to 1.5 and it uses the
Google maps. I got through most of the class path issues resolved I
think but when launching the application I get the following message.

04-18 13:19:11.598: WARN/dalvikvm(816): Class resolved by unexpected
DEX: Lnet/company/android/OrgMapActivity;(0x43732af0):0x192310 ref

04-18 13:19:11.608: WARN/dalvikvm(816): Link of class 'Lnet/company/
android/OrgMapActivity;' failed

So it looks like the error is Unable to resolve superclass  which I
think is caused by not having
uses-library android:name=com.google.android.maps /
in the androidmanifest.

In my case, this line is in there. Is there a new uses-library for
1.5? Docs say that it's ok. Or specific classpath settings since the
maps.jar has been moved out? I'm not getting compilation errors, just
runtime.

I tried moving the maps.jar into the assets directory and that did not
work either.

Some other trace is below.
Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Maps API Key to run in emulator, is it necessary??

2008-11-25 Thread crontabpy


hi there,

kind of confused with this, found  two documentations:

http://code.google.com/android/toolbox/apis/mapkey.html
Stated:
Because MapView gives you access to Google Maps data, you need to
register with the Google Maps service and agree to the applicable
Terms of Service before your MapView will be able to obtain data from
Google Maps. This will apply whether you are developing your
application on the emulator or preparing your application for
deployment to mobile devices.

http://code.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/maps/package-descr.html
Stated:
In order to use a MapView in your app, you need to include the
android:apiKey attribute in the MapView (or include a key in the
MapView constructor). For now, just put any value there (e.g.,
myapikey)

so, do I need it or not?

Also, where can I find any sample that loads a map? App demos in the
SDK dont load any...

[android-developers] Maps API access to SKY Tiles

2008-11-02 Thread Jonny


I'm interested in accessing the Sky database using the Maps API in
Android.  While there are direct methods for boolean queries and
setting states for traffic, satellite, and streetview I don't see
anyway to change to the Google Sky database.  The javascript Maps API
has sky, mars, moon and much more but that would require I do all my
programming through the browser as a web app.  I would really prefer
to use a MapView and take advantage of the Android OS.  Does anyone
have any suggestions on how this could be done?  Is there a way to
utilize Maps API commands (the javascript version) from within Android
(ie: mapview method to change map tiles to sky tiles)?

Thank you,
Jonny
