Maybe I’m doing something wrong – my “view” is too large so the branding is off the screen?

(15 minutes later…)

Yep, good ol’ operator error. :frowning:

I was creating a map that was larger than the view and it acted fine because it was centered on the chosen address. But the Google watermark at the lower-left corner was completely off the screen.

I’m tweaking the size/location now and it should be fixed soon.

Since something like that can get an app rejected, it might make sense for Corona Labs to mention that in the docs – the Google brand must show on the map or Bad Things will happen.

So is Corona working on getting MapView supported with Android? [import]uid: 144953 topic_id: 24293 reply_id: 122477[/import]

I just had an app rejected because of using the map feature in Corona SDK.

This is what Apple had to say about it:
We found that your app, and/or its metadata, displays images provided by Google Maps without the associated Google branding.

Google requires their logo and branding to be retained on all their map images; this requirement is reflected in the App Store Review Guidelines. For reference, you can view Google’s terms of service.
Anybody know a way around this?

Weird issue.

BTW why your map does not display the Google brand over it (at the bottom-left side of its map view normally)?

Rodrigo, I have no idea if Corona SDK is stripping the Google watermark or what. I’m just making a maps call like the API says and it seems to work fine – except it’s apparently in violation of Google’s TOS. Very bad news for me (and anyone who’s using the maps feature, maybe).

Jay,

I understood you. I only cannot understand the why the Google brand is not showing up there on your app. :S

And I am astonished because I do use one map view into one of my apps and I just opened it up and am able to see the Google brand there where I said above. So it is really “weird” and I would like to know if some "new"feature or bug correction did something to broken on the maps btw.

Maps for Android are coming very soon. Watch the daily builds. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 24293 reply_id: 122649[/import]

#31

We are all waiting for it.
@Tom When there will be possible to get the sdcard/ external_sd path on Android ?
Is it so difficult to implement this line of code ?

File extStore = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); [import]uid: 138389 topic_id: 24293 reply_id: 122650[/import]

Ok so Android maps are here, although I found my own solution for Maps on Android, if you want to see download the app I did for one of my clients: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bazomb.bazomband&feature=search_result

I thought I’d look at the new maps implementation, you clearly are using HTML for the maps and you get a white line down the right hand side of the map (caused due to it thinks there is a scroll bar)

I’m not sure why but Corona’s implementation is a little slower and jerkier…any reason and is the white bar going to be fixed? (I know the white bar does not always show on every device, I have a galaxy S II Skyrocket)

#34

I haven’t seen that white bar on the left on any of my Android devices, and I did test maps on a Galaxy SII. We also disabled the scrollbars on the map view, so I’m thinking it must be something else. Perhaps the default background is showing through.

Would you mind posting a screenshot so that I can get a better idea of what’s going wrong? Thanks! [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 24293 reply_id: 123061[/import]

#37

With the new map functionality, is there any way to be notified when a marker is clicked on? This is a key feature for most of the people that need mapview.

thanks

Unfortunately no, but I’ll write that up as a feature request. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 24293 reply_id: 123432[/import]

#39

Would you be able to validate if we would pay for this feature, if we could have it more quickly?

thanks [import]uid: 28795 topic_id: 24293 reply_id: 123434[/import]
