Empty OsmDroid Map? Where to custom the new map?

Question

Recently I tried to follow these steps: website.

with the casual way of adding the map to be visible into the screen using this code:

GPSTrackerActivity.java

public class GPSTrackerActivity extends Activity {

    private SDCardHandler SDTool;
    private ToastSender ToastObject;

    private FrameLayout frm_lay;
    private MapView myOpenMapView;
    private MapController myMapController;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle in) {
        super.onCreate(in);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_gpstracker);

        SDTool = new SDCardHandler();
        ToastObject = new ToastSender(this);

        frm_lay = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.frm_lay);

        myOpenMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.openmapview);
        myOpenMapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        myMapController = myOpenMapView.getController();
        myMapController.setZoom(4);



    }}

and this one, activity_gpstracker.xml :

        </TableRow>
    </TableLayout>

</LinearLayout>

but unfortunately, the code above seems giving me nothing. All components seems normal except the map view, it appeared to be nothing (empty). And i found noway where to custom the map of my own map into it. Any clues?

Have you tried setting a height for FrameLayout with @+id/frm_lay to see if anything appears? – Ripieno

Answer 1

You don't follow the tutorial you mention. Start by following it, and have it working. Then you can introduce changes.

"And i found noway where to custom the map of my own map into it. " => this is a distinct issue, so create a separate question. And if you want an answer, be much (much) more clear about what you want.
