Android Question Google Maps

[MetalOS]

Hello, I hope I post in the right place. I'm trying to use google maps in a project and I followed this tutorial:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-maps.63930/

I think to have realized it completely but I meet this error at the compilation:

Maven artifact not found: com.google.android.gms/play-services-maps

I also followed the tutorial on Firebase and the only thing I do not know how to do that lets me think about the error display is that I do not know how to declare the Firebase json file in my code. Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my english because I use google translation.

Which Version of B4A are you using?

 

[MetalOS]

Version 6.50

 

[Erel]

B4A v6.50 will not work with the newer versions of Android SDK. The simplest solution is to update to B4A v8 and use B4A Sdk Manager. B4A v8 will be soon required anyway (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/87610/#content).

 

[MetalOS]

Ok Erel, but what are the differences between the standard version and the enterprise version other than the update time?

 

[DonManfred]

Only the updatetime.

 

[MetalOS]

Ok tanks

I just upgraded to the 8.0 enterprise version. I will try Maps again.

Hello all!

First post here!, and thanks, Erel, for a superb development environment.

Ok, I'm loosing some hair here!
Trying to use the google maps examples on this forum, specifically this: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-maps.63930/#post-404386 and there's just no way I can get it to run.

I downloaded GoogleMaps.zip, uncompressed it, and put both files GoogleMaps.jar and GoogleMaps.xml on my additional libraries path: C:\Users\karlw\B4X\MyLibraries

But every time I try to compile, I get this:

B4A Version: 8.00
Parsing code. Error
Error parsing program.
Error description: Unknown type: googlemap
Are you missing a library reference?
Error occurred on line: 23 (Main)
Private gmap As GoogleMap


Also the Custom View on Designer is grayed out!
Not sure why,

And there's where I'm stuck.

Any help appreciated!,
Thanks

Please check in the library tab (=Bibliotheken Manager) on the right if you see googemaps checked - you should see: GoogeMaps(Version:2.00). Maybe your path to the libraries is not ok...

rboeck,
If you were a girl, I'd kiss you!!!!!
You nailed it right on!
I didn't have the check mark on Google Maps Version 2.
That was the problem.

THANK YOU!!!!!!
