I am trying to run the GoogleMaps example from:
I get no errors on compile, but no map is shown?
Must I get my own API Key?

  1. https://console.cloud.google.com/pr...credentials?utm_source=Docs_Credentials&hl=en
  2. Create a new project
  3. Choose this project
  4. ...
I can only get as far as step 4 because I don't have a credit card saved in the google console.
But here is a video tutorial:
Thanks.
I have created an API Key and added:
B4X:
gmap.Initialize2("gmap",Null,"AIzaSyAEZ2xfst5HXEiikHJeyFkRUBJ7KhM_1Hc")
Rus same as before with Log:
B4X:
Alert: Hide directions called
mapLibraryLoaded!
No map displayed

I downloaded the program from the forum.
It works with the original key in the program and it works also with your key in post#5.
Which program are you testing, the full or the light version.
In the full version add a break-point at line 169 joGMap = GMap
In the light version add a break-point at line 117 joGMap = GMap
Does the program reach this line ?

In the light version add a break-point at line 117 joGMap = GMap
This is my full code, mush smaller than line 169?
B4X:
#Region  Project Attributes
    #MainFormWidth: 600
    #MainFormHeight: 400
#End Region

#PackagerProperty: IncludedModules = javafx.web
#PackagerProperty: AdditionalModuleInfoString = exports com.lynden.gmapsfx;    exports com.lynden.gmapsfx.javascript;    exports com.lynden.gmapsfx.javascript.event;
#PackagerProperty: AdditionalModuleInfoString = exports com.lynden.gmapsfx.javascript.object;    exports com.lynden.gmapsfx.service.directions;    exports com.lynden.gmapsfx.service.elevation;

Does the attached program work ?
I get the following Log:
B4X:
Waiting for debugger to connect...
Program started.
Alert: Hide directions called
mapLibraryLoaded!
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
This is the screenshot:

And I get this.

WARNING: package com.sun.javafx.embed.swing.oldimpl not in javafx.swing
Waiting for debugger to connect...
Program started.
Alert: Hide directions called
mapLibraryLoaded!

Which version of Java do you use ?
I use this one in the paths setup : C:\Java19\bin\javac.exe
And which version of B4J ? I have version 10.00
And which version of the jGoogleMaps library, I have version 2.00

I am joining this party a bit late, but I about a week ago I tried running the forum example used here in Erel's GoogleMaps tutorial and got exactly the same result as reported in the current thread - ie . . .
Wait for
InitializeMap
Call B4XPages.GetManager.LogEvents = True to enable logging B4XPages events.
*** mainpage: B4XPage_Resize [mainpage]
Alert: Hide directions called
mapLibraryLoaded!
. . . but no map showing. I gave up trying to find the problem. Since then I have got my own API key - when I have time I will try again.
