Android MapView Tutorial

[garethcwilliams]

Hey Everybody,

I'm been trying to get to grips with Android and have been writing some simple apps and working through the tutorials.

I'm having trouble with the MapView tutorial, lets start with the code which is:

package​

​

​

​

​

com.splashapps.maps;
​

import​

​

​

​

​

com.google.android.maps.*;​

import​

​

​

​

​

android.os.*;
​

public​

​

​

​

​

class MapTest extends MapActivity {

@Override​

​

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

@Override​

​

protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
return false;
}​

}

The manifest is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.splashapps.maps"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name="MapTest"
android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:launchMode="standard"
android:screenOrientation="unspecified">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"></category>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />​

</manifest>

The layout is:

<?​

​

​

​

xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>​

​

<​

​

​

​

RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout01"​

​

android:layout_width="fill_parent"​

​

android:layout_height="fill_parent"​

​

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">​

​

<​

​

​

​

com.google.android.maps.MapView​

​

android:id="@+id/mapview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"​

​

android:layout_height="fill_parent"​

​

android:clickable="true"​

​

android:apiKey="0ujyc9Tw2cYvyPECIKTQIK0pwuL-UPa_sh4BpIw"/>​

​

</RelativeLayout>

Now, the problem i get is the app crashes on startup, the KVM is complaining about not being able to resolve the superclass. The following is the logcat:

W/dalvikvm( 947): Class resolved by unexpected DEX: Lcom/splashapps/maps/MapTes
t;(0x43736190):0x192028 ref [Lcom/google/android/maps/MapActivity;] Lcom/google/
android/maps/MapActivity;(0x43736190):0x188088
W/dalvikvm( 947): Unable to resolve superclass of Lcom/splashapps/maps/MapTest;
(34)
W/dalvikvm( 947): Link of class 'Lcom/splashapps/maps/MapTest;' failed

as you can see, for some reason, its putting a capital 'L' in from of the name of the class, so can't find it. I'm sure this is something stupid I've done in setting up the class paths but can figure it out. Its driving me nuts....spent the last 3 hours trying to fix it

If anyone could help me out in solving the problem, that would literally be amazing......

Thanks in advance
