That is correct.
A few more details for everyone.
Maps is not bundled on the default Android 1.5 System Image bundled
with the SDK.
Because your app doesn't actually use the Maps API (ie doesn't have
<uses-library> with maps), it will install on devices that do not have
Google Maps.
Therefore:
- You should use the System Image provided with the "Google APIs" to
do your testing where you want Maps to be present. In the 1.5 SDK, the
target id for this add-on is 3. This may change once you add/remove
platforms/add-on, so it's best to always do a "android list target" to
find the proper target id.
- You should also test using the default system image that does not
have Maps. This will simulate devices that may run your applications
but don't have Maps. Basically, you should catch the exception and
properly handle it with user feedback.
If your application absolutely need maps, you could add the
<uses-library> tag (even though you don't use the Maps API). This will
make sure your app only install on devices with Maps.
