Android Question Does not enter Map_Ready Sub [Solved]

[Roger Daley]

Hi All,

Still trying to upgrade an existing App to the new Google maps requirements.
I cautiously think I have followed Erels tutorial correctly but the App still does not work.
I have tracked the problem to the program not entering the Map_Ready Sub. I have found only one previous question on this with the apparent solution an OS upgrade; as this was several years ago and I am running Android V8.0 I don't think this is the issue.

Attached is a Zip of the program and below is the manifest.

Any help gratefully received

Regards Roger

I wante dto help but It's difficult to investigate on a large project. I would reccomend you to start a blank GoogleMap project (or start from the tutorial) and see if it works.
Then, you'll propably see by yourself where is the problem ....

Thanks Marcick

I've already built a program from the tutorial looking at an earlier problem. It works, tells me nothing about this problem.

The event name is "mFragment", not "Map", so I would expect a "mFragment_Ready" and not "Map_Ready"
Am I wrong ?

You were quicker than me. I've just started writing it as well.

This is also true for Map_CameraChange.

Marcick and Erel,

Thankyou gentlemen, spot on. I tripped over the legacy code.
Previously when the MapFragment was not generated in the designer I had initialized it with "mFragment.Initialize("Map", MapPanel)".
Now that this part is working, I will go through and correct any others, like Map_CameraChange etc.
I'm sure there will be more.

Regards Roger
