[android-developers] Re: KML and Google Map Application
I think I have figured this out. There are a couple problems with KML
files and Android's map application... But nothing really huge.
1. Trying to dynamically generate the KML file doesn't seem to work...
However, if one generates the KML and writes it to a file, the URI
method can be used to load that KML file. No idea why, but it works
perfectly well this way.
2. The format of the file absolutely has to have the style info in it
(You can see a good example of it at the google examples of KML files.
Just thought I'd let everyone know about that...

I know that if I send in other URI's from Google examples, it works
like a charm...

[android-developers] Re: KML and Google Map Application
1. Check the KML namespace..."http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2";
2. Is your URL - urlencoded ? You have to encode your url it has
& ?...

[android-developers] Re: KML and Google Map Application
Is that URI format supported? This is what is listed in the developer
guide:
geo:latitude,longitude
geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom
geo:0,0?q=my+street+address
geo:0,0?q=business+near+city
I don't see a url to KML file supported.
