Mapview And Cameraupdate In Api V2

Why the CameraUpdateFactory class is not working in my project? The app crashes if it executes the following command: CameraUpdate pino= CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(

Solution 1:

I solved the problem by adding on the "onCreate" the following lines:

try {
     MapsInitializer.initialize(this);
 } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
 }

the reason is that the CameraUpdateFactory needs to be initilized (even if from documentation it seems that using mapview it shoud be automatically initialized)

I even replaced "public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity" with "public class MainActivity extends Activity". But i think that this last thing it was not needed..

Solution 2:

if i use:

try {
 MapsInitializer.initialize(this);
} catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
}

The exception give me this error:

Unreachable catch block for GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException.

This exception is never thrown from the try statement body".

I have use only:

MapsInitializer.initialize(this);
