Google Maps crashing on Android Pie

Question

I am testing Google Map on Google Pixel running the latest version of Android Pie.

Caused by java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
Didn\'t find class \"org.apach         


        

Answer 1

This error occurs on Android 9.0. Add the below code in the <application> element of manifest

<uses-library
  android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
  android:required="false" />

Refer to Specify requirement for Apache HTTP Legacy library docs.

Answer 2

Google map is not property supported android 9+. Use the following code in your manifest file. it will work.

 <uses-library
            android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
            android:required="false" />

Answer 3

Thanks to @Anubhav Gupta, you can also update in build.gradle:

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0"

But this can brake a compatibility with Android 4, see App is having trouble with Google Play Services. Please try again.
