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
