Mapview showing only grid but no map in Titanium's Appcelerator


I am developing a map based application using Titanium's Appcelerator. The problem which I am facing is that, when I am emulating the application on an Android device, I can see the grid of the mapview, but no map is being displayed. I have put the "ti.android.google.map.api.key" in the "tiapp.xml" file and all the android manifest specific permissions are also set. My source code is:

tiapp.xml:

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<tool-api-level>8</tool-api-level>
<manifest android:installLocation="preferExternal">
  <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
   <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ASSISTED_GPS"/>
</manifest>
</android>
<mobileweb>
 <precache/>
  <splash>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <inline-css-images>true</inline-css-images>
    </splash>
    <theme>default</theme>
</mobileweb>
<modules>
<module platform="commonjs" version="2.2.0">ti.cloud</module>
</modules>
<property name="ti.android.google.map.api.key">my api key</property>
</ti:app>

Below is "app.js" for creating the GUI

app.js:

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
var mapview = Titanium.Map.createView({
mapType: Titanium.Map.STANDARD_TYPE,
region: {latitude:37.389569, longitude:-122.050212,
        latitudeDelta:0.1, longitudeDelta:0.1},
animate:true,
regionFit:true,
userLocation:false
});
win.add(mapview);
win.open();

Solution

  • First, you Check you Android Emulator/Device is connected with InterNet Connection or not.

    If, Internet is working then it is run properly.

    for more details and Information or (Demo Code) see this. tiapp.xml
