Hi Guys

Working through Erel's Tutorial on google Maps V2

When compile and upload to Phone (B4A Bridge, Wireless) I get a error on the Phone:
Parse Error
There is a Problem parsing the Package

Tried on 2 Different phones with the same error.
Even Copied the APK and try to inatall Manually on the phone with the same error

Ideas?

Have you turned off "Allow installation of apps from Unknown Sources"?

 

[daniedb]

Yes I did. All other packages install fine.
I start with Erel's Google Map Tutorial V2, and when I try that install it give me the error

Which device are you using? GoogleMaps require Android 4+.

 

[daniedb]

Samsung S5 and SamSung Galaxy Tab 7. Both are running Android version > 4

You will need to use usb debug mode instead of B4A-Bridge. Hopefully it will provide more information about the problem.

Hi.
I know this is a bit of an old thread, but I ran into exactly this same Parse error problem when I tried the map example.

I found a solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14832911/android-map-v2-why-maps-receive-permission

I commented out the reference in the manifest to MAP_RECIEVE and it worked.

'AddManifestText( <permission
'  android:name="$PACKAGE$.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
'  android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
'  <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true"/>)

AddApplicationText(<meta-data
  android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
  android:value="AIzaSyBZ6F5XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"/>
   <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
   android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />)

I hope this helps some other newbies.

Did it start after you added Google Maps?
