java - Android Google Maps Failed to find style 'mapViewStyle' in current theme

Question

When adding a google map view (I extended a MapView, used the xml editor to add it to the Activity, and added my google maps api key to the layout xml file manually)

My permissions allow Internet in the manifest file

What i'm wondering, is in the xml editor i get the error "Failed to find style 'mapViewStyle' in current theme" but i seem to have everything set up correctly.

Answer 1

I had the same problem when I try to build a simple app, following the Android MapView tutorial.

The app showed this exception in AVD for the file file main.xml:

Failed to find style 'mapViewStyle' in current theme

At last I found that there is a mistake in file AndroidManifest.xml:

The element <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> should be a child of the <application> element, not immediately within <manifest>.

Hope this was any help to you.
