- are you using the mytouch3g as the main development device? do you copy the apk over and then install? or do you "install" via Eclipse? - are you always using the same development computer?

And a reason could be when the google api's not on the device are present. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: MapView works on some devices and others it doesnt
@ibendlin The first device that I test on is a Verizon motorola droid x2 running 2.3.4 and then a samsung infuse but I have 10 other devices to test on when I need them. The tmobile mytouch that cant see the map tiles is one of my partners phone and being that hes in another state I usually email him a copy of the apk that I just exported from eclipse. On the samsung infuse the map tiles used to not load and then one day I switched to another project I was working on and the tiles came up. I made sure I had all the permissions set up and that I had internet connection and everything that Mark explained in his post. When developing is it possible that the map tiles wont load if you give some one a copy of it? I find it hard to believe that because I have a visio tablet that I havent been able to hook up to eclipse and I send my apk to via email and it works fine. Its not a major problem but when Im trying to show some one in another part of the country a demo that should work on their phone and it doesnt display the map it doesnt look all that great.

[android-developers] Re: MapView works on some devices and others it doesnt
Hey Mark thanks for replying :) I went over my manifest file with a fine tooth comb and tripple checked all the network conditions but its just odd that map tiles will load on one device and then not on another. I had my partner on the east coast using the same version of the app that I had last built and he couldnt see tiles in the mapview and I could. Ive never had that happen in one of my published apps just when using the debug one you get. Is it possible that there is a limit on the number of devices that would have access to the maptiles when using a development apk that was exported rather than pushed on to the phone via eclipse?

@ibendlin I could ask him for one but he did mention that hell have a new phone in a week and hell be sending the old one in the mail out here so I can test on it myself. When I get my hands on it Ill post back to this thread with any errors related to the mapview.

Not that I am aware of. Make sure the other device can do anything with Google Maps (e.g., can bring up the actual Maps app). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 2.4 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: MapView works on some devices and others it doesnt
@Mark: That doesn't mean much any more as the Google Maps app is now totally un-coupled from the API (the app uses vector data, the API raster tiles). I have a MyTouch3G too in my device zoo, and haven't seen such behaviour. You may see some kind of error message in the logcat.
