Android MapView display empty

Question

Manifest:

Answer 1

The way I got mine resolved, I had to do this:

final MapView mapView = (MapView)fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.map_fieldLocation);

mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        LatLng coordinates = new LatLng(match.match.LocationLatitude, match.match.LocationLongitude);
        googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(coordinates).title(match.match.LocationAddress));
        googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(coordinates, 15));
        mapView.onResume();
    }
});

The important part that I was missing is that you have to call the onCreate() method before you call getMapAsync() and once the callback is called, you need to call onResume() on the MapView object.

That totally solved it for me.

Here's what it would look like in your own class:

public class MainActivity extends MapActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        if (getView() != null) {

            final MapView mapView = (MapView)getView().findViewById(R.id.mapView);

            mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            mapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {

                @Override
                public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
                    LatLng coordinates = new LatLng(match.match.LocationLatitude, match.match.LocationLongitude);
                    googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(coordinates).title(match.match.LocationAddress));
                    googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(coordinates, 15));
                    mapView.onResume();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

}

Hope this helps!
