Using The Google Map Api In Android, Using A Proxy

I am using the google map API in a very basic app. But the problem is that on running the app, I only see the grid and the map controls...the map doesnt even load in the virtual de

Solution 1:

Apparently if you are using a proxy, and have set that in your APN, then your AVD cannot load any application that is using the map, neither the pre-installed one, nor any created by you. Reference: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3764#makechanges Unfortuantely there is no solution for this (yet). Thx to all who helped :) PS: If any1 found a solution using the proxy...or any other way to fix this...do post here..

Solution 2:

You should not make your network(proxy) settings in your emulator or device. Just open your network settings in your PC. Then go the properties. you will find the list of items in your connections. go to IPV4 and set your default gateway and DNS server.

I faced the same error

**Network Failure** Wrong remote strings version.GMM Server must be hosting:/strings_remote_533149424.dat

Then i followed the above steps. I got the output.....Just check out and reply....

Solution 3:

Make sure that these permissions are in your manifest file, outside the closing application tag:

<uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

Solution 4:

Is your emulator connected to the internet? some times the emulator fails to connect to the internet when it boots, you should see a 3g sign on your notification bar.

Solution 5:

Seen this issue posted many times, and have written up a really easy tutorial which has helped folk such as this previous question on SO

It generally tends to be one of 3 issues :

1. API key is incorrect
2. You are using the standard Android emulator and not the Google APIs.
3. You have extended Activity instead of MapActivity

Hope this helps.
