Question

I have a sample application Android 2.1 google maps(2.1) application that I have. When I run the file, I encounter an error that I am not able to fix and need some help with. I am not entirely sure where the problem could be, so here is my create code in my activity.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        mapView = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.mapView);
        mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        mapView.setSatellite(false);
        mapView.setStreetView(true);
        mapController = mapView.getController();
        mapController.setZoom(13);
        getLastLocation();
        animateToCurrentLocation();
        //added to include overlays in here
        //List<Overlay> mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
        //Drawable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.androidmarker);
        //MapItemizedOverlay itemizedoverlay = new MapItemizedOverlay(drawable, this);
        //GeoPoint coordinates are specified in microdegrees (degrees * 1e6). The OverlayItem constructor accepts the 
        //GeoPoint location, a string for the item's title, and a string for the item's snippet text, respectively.
        //GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(19240000,-99120000);
        //OverlayItem overlayitem = new OverlayItem(point, "Hola, Mundo!", "I'm in Mexico City!");
        //try adding another one 
        //GeoPoint point2 = new GeoPoint(35410000, 139460000);
        //OverlayItem overlayitem2 = new OverlayItem(point2, "Sekai, konichiwa!", "I'm in Japan!");
        //All that's left is to add this OverlayItem to your collection in the MapItemizedOverlay
        //instance, then add the HelloItemizedOverlay to the MapView:
        //itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem);
        //itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem2);
        //mapOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);
    }

Answer 1

I’m still quite new with Android so unfortunately I cannot explain the errors, but I get the same errors in my application without them leading to a failed install.

Sometimes restarting the AVD have resolved a failed install for me, but I don’t know the cause.
