Hi there, I'm trying to get the Map demos working, as provided in the Google API sample projects. I am using AVDs and have tried with versions 8, 10 and 11 and get the same issue.
I've generated my own debug key and added to the project. I can see the map on app start up, and can zoom in etc - so I am getting the map tiles, fine. Yes - I have the correct permissions and library set in the Manifest file (as per samples). But, I cannot set a location on the map, either via DDMS or Telnet. I see the following error in LogCat: MapActivity : Couldn't get connection factory client I've read numerous threads regarding this issue, but they always seem to be as a result of a bad API key; which I do not have, as I am retrieving map tiles. So I created my own project to test this further, and am executing the following code on initialisation of my map: myLocationOverlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mapView); mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocationOverlay); myLocationOverlay.enableCompass(); myLocationOverlay.enableMyLocation(); Log.i("funkatron: ", "ABOUT TO CALL RUN ON FIRST FIX"); myLocationOverlay.runOnFirstFix(new Runnable() { public void run() { String loc = "we have a location, executing AnimateTo(). "+myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation().toString(); Log.i("funkatron:",loc); mapController.animateTo(myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation()); } }); I see my first log statement, but never the second, and "MapActivity : Couldn't get connection factory client" is written to LogCat at that point. I have read that there were issues with SDK v8 emulators, so I have tried with v10 and 11 - but still no joy. I have NOT yet tried this on an actual device - will do soon. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated - it's really baffling me ;) cheers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
