...I really don't understand how something this simple (and I have done it before) doesn't work. I'm pretty sure it will turn out that I am missing something obvious.
I just created a MapView, all it does is show the map and when I allocate mapView to it's layout, there's a ClassCastException: import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity; import com.google.android.maps.MapView; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; public class PPMMap extends MapActivity { public MapView mapView; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview); // THROWS CLASSCASTEXCEPTION mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true); } @Override protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return false; } } <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:id="@+id/mapview" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <com.google.android.maps.MapView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:apiKey="****************" /> </RelativeLayout> 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo {....patyo.PPMMap}: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.RelativeLayout 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2268) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2284) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1800(ActivityThread.java:112) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1692) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3948) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run (ZygoteInit.java:782) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:540) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.RelativeLayout 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at ....PPMMap.onCreate(PPMMap.java:21) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java: 1123) 09-22 17:16:03.676: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(730): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2231) Call me an idiot, but I just don't get it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
