Question

I’m trying to use OSMdroid for a project, and i’m utterly unable to make the simplest code work.
Well, a few days ago i was able to display maps and so on, and now i can’t even instantiate a MapView.
I reduced the code to its sipmlest form.
I work with eclipse. I downloaded osmdroid-android-3.0.5.jar and slf4j-android-1.5.8.jar, and i included them in the project by adding lines to the classpath file

    <classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/osmdroid-android-3.0.5.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/slf4j-android-1.5.8.jar"/>

Or by right clicking on them then Build Path-> Add to build path (both gave the same result, anyway)

Then i typed this code:

import android.app.Activity;
import org.osmdroid.tileprovider.tilesource.TileSourceFactory;
import org.osmdroid.util.GeoPoint;
import org.osmdroid.views.MapController;
import org.osmdroid.views.MapView;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class TestMapActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        MapView mv=new MapView(this,256);

    }
}

And i get a bug when running it on the emulator:

When i comment out the “MapView mv=new MapView(this,256);” it works, so i don’t understand why the mapview can’t be instantiated.

Any idea on this?

Thank you for your attention.

Change Folder name “lib” to “libs” and put all jar files in that folder and Charge path of jar
files to “libs” folder. I am not sure but I think it will work.
