I am trying to access google maps from my application. My code is as below:
public void invokeGMaps(GMLocation l) {
int mh = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("GoogleMaps");
if (mh == 0) {
try {
throw new ApplicationManagerException("GoogleMaps isn't installed");
}
catch (ApplicationManagerException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
URLEncodedPostData uepd = new URLEncodedPostData(null, false);
uepd.append("action", "LOCN");
uepd.append("a", "@latlon:" + l.getLatitude() + "," + l.getLongitude());
uepd.append("title", l.getName());
uepd.append("description", l.getDescription());
String[] args = { "http://gmm/x?" + uepd.toString() };
ApplicationDescriptor ad = CodeModuleManager.getApplicationDescriptors(mh)[0];
ApplicationDescriptor ad2 = new ApplicationDescriptor(ad, args);
try {
ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().runApplication(ad2, true);
}
catch (ApplicationManagerException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
I get null pointer exception when I try to launch the maps and this is because I have not yet installed google maps. How do I install the maps for my application to run?Where do I have to install the maps? I visited the link "m.google.com/maps" but I do not understand or see where to install the maps?Are the maps to be installed on every handset my application will be running?Please guide. I am totally lost.
