Whenever I call initMyLocation, the app crashes (bot on emulator and device). Same happens when I try to implement a MiniMap. I do exactly the same as in the SampleExtensive example from the Osmdroid repository. What am I doing wrong?

My AndroidManifest.xml is giving all required permissions I think

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <activity android:name=".gpstestActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>  
<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_WIFI_STATE" />

Answer 1

In your setMap(), you never set

myMap = map;

So in initMyLocation, you are passing null for the pMapView parameter.
