I wanted to try out having OpenStreetMap integration by osmdroid, but I got stuck at an issue where I have no idea what is missing. The scenario is as follows:
Symptom: Map widget gets displayed but only with an empty grid.
This is in my Activity class:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
MapView mapView = new MapView(this, 256);
mapView.setTileSource(TileSourceFactory.MAPNIK);
mapView.setClickable(true);
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
setContentView(mapView);
}
(I tried selecting various TileSources with seemingly no difference)
My Manifest also includes these permissions (as a child of <manifest>
, after <uses-sdk>
):
<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" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
...and my emulator is otherwise connected to the internet, eg. web browsers work.
osmdroid and slf4j are in the build path. The app compiles without a problem and generates no exceptions.
What could be wrong?
Many thanks!
SOLVED: This was caused by my emulator not having an external storage to cache map tiles.
