Android Question [B4xPages] [SOLVED] GoogleMaps outside MainPage not working: AddPageAndCreate vs AddPage

[Mashiane]

Ola

I need some advise. I have used the google maps example and however have a Google Map on another page outside the MainPage.

With

B4XPages.AddPageAndCreate("mapPage", mapPage)

The app does not work, however with

B4XPages.AddPage("mapPage", mapPage)

Everything is fine.

For my context we prefer the former method as it brings a little bit of speed to the process, i.e. when you show the page, all elements are created.

I have attached the project.

Thanks a mill!

You should use the link from B4XMainPage to export the project:

I see the problem. The map parent needs to be in the layout tree when the map is loaded.

This code seems to work properly:

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    B4XPages.GetNativeParent(Me).AddView(Root, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y) '<----------
    Root.Visible = False
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    MP = B4XPages.MainPage
    btnJumpToParis.Enabled = False
    If gmap.IsInitialized = False Then
        Wait For (InitializeMap) Complete (Success As Boolean)
        MapReady = Success
        If MapReady Then
            Log("map ready")
            btnJumpToParis.Enabled = True
            gmap.AddMarker(0, 0, "Center")
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub B4XPage_Appear
    Root.Visible = True
End Sub
