B4J Question [ABMaterial] ABMGoogleMap Rendering Challenge

[Mashiane]

Hi there

Kinda frustrated right now. I copied the ABMGoogleMap demo example to my page however whilst it runs perfectly in the demo, in my example its kicking out a TypeError that is raised in common.js. Has anyone else experienced this and perhaps got a resolve?

The map displays partially and then after a while brings ups an Oops. Please see attachment.

I also have a method here where markers are being read from a database and added to the ABMGoogleMap, whilst that is called, it does no effect to the map. I have tried this with my api key and without the api key, same result.

Please please please someone advise, I could be doing something wrong but I don't know what.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried setting page.NeedsGoogleMap = True in you BuildPage sub ?!

You need Google map api key... I had the very same issue.

Then add:

page.GoogleMapsAPIExtras="key=MYASSIGINEDKEY.............=geometry,places"

in your page init sub...

The error SHOULD state - opps - you don't have an api key!!! (would be more helpful).

first paragraph in this tut states this...

@Harris @mindful: thanks guys. Irrespective of the demo running without an api key well, USE AN API KEY. Lesson learned.

This is the same key as Google Maps JavaScript Key / Google Places Web Api service.
