Question

I am currently working on the new Google Maps Android API v2.

My MapActivity class is working with my Samsung galaxy s3 ans s2 with the code below:

However, there are some particular devices are not working such as: GT-S5830i

class MapActivity extends FragmentActivity  implements OnMapClickListener, OnMapLongClickListener, OnMarkerClickListener
{

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);

                tvLocInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.locinfo);

                android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager myFragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
                SupportMapFragment myMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment)myFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
                myMap = myMapFragment.getMap();

                myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
                ArrayList<Cooridnates> cooridnatesList = MainActivity.getList();
                for(int i=0;i<cooridnatesList.size();i++)
                {
                    //Toast.makeText(MapActivity.this, "SIZE : " + " " + cooridnatesList.size(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    LatLng point = new LatLng(cooridnatesList.get(i).getLat(),cooridnatesList.get(i).getLon());
                    tvLocInfo.setText("markers added");
                    myMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(point).title(point.toString()));
                    center=CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(point);
                }

                CameraUpdate zoom=CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(16);
                myMap.moveCamera(center);
                myMap.animateCamera(zoom);
                myMap.setOnMapClickListener(this);
                myMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(this);
                markerClicked = false;
             }

For some reason, I am getting this error:

You function MainActivity.getList() probably returned an empty list, so for loop doesn’t execute center=CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(point);.
