Showing Grid view instead of Map

Showing Grid view instead of Map - android

I'm very new to android. I'm developing an app which shows the current location using Google Map.
I've generated key for this application. But It doesn't show the map instead, it shows Grid View.
The following is the code..!
//MActivity
package velu.ndot.hosp;
import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;
import com.google.android.maps.MapController;

import android.location.LocationManager;

import android.widget.SeekBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class HospitalActivity extends MapActivity {
private LocationManager myLocationManager;
private LocationListener myLocationListener;
private TextView myLongitude, myLatitude;
private MapView myMapView;
private SeekBar myZoomBar;
private MapController myMapController;
private void CenterLocation(GeoPoint centerGeoPoint)
{
myMapController.animateTo(centerGeoPoint);
myLongitude.setText("Longitude: "+
String.valueOf((float)centerGeoPoint.getLongitudeE6()/1000000)
);
myLatitude.setText("Latitude: "+
String.valueOf((float)centerGeoPoint.getLatitudeE6()/1000000)
);
};
private void SetZoomLevel()
{
int myZoomLevel = myZoomBar.getProgress()+1;
myMapController.setZoom(myZoomLevel);
Toast.makeText(this,
"Zoom Level : " + String.valueOf(myZoomLevel),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
};
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

myMapView.setSatellite(true); //Set satellite view
myMapController = myMapView.getController();
SetZoomLevel();
myLocationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(

myLocationListener = new MyLocationListener();
myLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
0,
0,
myLocationListener);
//Get the current location in start-up
//check LastKnownLocation, if not valid, skip it.

if(initLocation != null)
{

This looking all right in your code. Please try to take another map key and then check may be this will solve your problem .
As your code is similar to:

longitude and latitude acquiring (Android) + reverse geocoding

So i put together a few snippets that i found here and there; aiming to make a more complex app, however, at one point i was able to obtain the the longitude and latitude number, but once I've tried supply those number to the reverse GeoCoding mechanism, i have not been able to get the Long and Lat numbers and the app crashes after i click the button (which does the reverse geocoding)

DO PLEASE NOTE! i have added two global variables called LongHolder and LatHolder to pass the values of the GPS straight to the reverse geocoding. I believe they failed their purpose but if you need to test random selected Coordinates yourself, remember to remove them. THANK YOU

my application stops working as soon as launched

(ANDROID GPS)
i made this application to send gps coordinates via sms but the app crashes(as soon as i open it) can somebody help me

In your manifest file you must include
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"></uses-permission>
Read the documentation under "Requesting User Permissions" for more details.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html

Your app is failing because you need to add the android.permisssion.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to your manifest file.

application doesn't seem to do anything

i made this application to send gps coordinates via sms but it doesn't seem to do any thing can anybody tell me what am i missing??

How about adding the permission for SMS in your AndroidManifest.xml?
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />

You can use the Android lifecycle methods to turn off the GPS when the Activity is no longer on top.
Use onPause(), onStop(), or onDestroy() to remove updates from your locationManager. Something like this:
#Override
public void onPause() {
locationManager.removeUpdates(myLocationListener);
}
EDIT:
You have a ClassCastException in your onPause() method. You cannot cast this (your Activity) to a LocationListener (at least not without making your Activity implement LocationListener).
In your code, you create a new GeoUpdateHandler(). First, you should create an instanceVariable that is your GeoUpdateHandler. Underneath your instance variable for LocationManager, create one like this:
private GeoUpdateHandler geoUpdateHandler;
You should keep a handle to this in the onCreate() method:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//...some code here...
geoUpdateHandler = new GeoUpdateHandler();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
0,geoUpdateHandler);
//...maybe some more code here...
}
And then in the onPause, pass the geoUpdateHandler to the removeUpdates function:
#Override
public void onPause() {
locationManager.removeUpdates(geoUpdateHandler);
}
EDIT 2:
The stacktrace says it all:
android.app.SuperNotCalledException: Activity {com.example.gpslocnav6ex/com.example.gpslocnav6ex.ShowMap} did not call through to super.onPause()
Call through to super.onPause() in your onPause()
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
locationManager.removeUpdates(geoUpdateHandler);
}

Try this locationManager.removeUpdates(myLocationListener);
Your should write it in onPause()
#Override
protected void onPause()
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPause();
locationManager.removeUpdates(myLocationListener);
}
This will turn off GPS when your exit from your application .

Develop Reference

The Android operating system is a mobile operating system that was developed by Google (GOOGL?) to be primarily used for touchscreen devices, cell phones, and tablets.

Showing Grid view instead of Map - android

This looking all right in your code. Please try to take another map key and then check may be this will solve your problem . As your code is similar to: http://www.mubasheralam.com/tutorials/android/how-use-google-maps-android-application
