Map not showing its shows blank screen.

[saibrahamaiah]

The map isn't showing up in my application. The map view has the Google logo on the bottom left, but it's otherwise blank. I tried removing and re-adding the plugin, but that didn't work either.
So i tried removed and added in the plugin but not worked.These below commands i used...

tns remove nativescript-google-maps-sdk
tns add nativescript-google-maps-sdk

The API key is specified in the proper file according to the instructions, so that's definitely not the issue.

For me that has happened in a few circumstances. First, make sure you have a live internet connection within the app, otherwise it can't download maps.

Next, make sure the app itself hasn't frozen, crashed, or been paused for some reason. Can you verify it's working using other UI components?

Third, I would double check you have a valid API key for the correct platform, in the correct format. I don't mean to question what you've done, but I've messed that up and seen the exact result you describe.

[saibrahamaiah]

I have internet connection speed also good..

Try viewing the android logs (adb logcat) - probably doesn't like you key.

[neopablix]

I have the same problem here. Something in particular to search for on the logs?

I have the same problem here.

Look in the android logcat, see if there is anything related to google services api. If you're on an old android device, there is a known issue with Android 4.2.2: #7

[abalad]

This is logcat...

Looks like an issue with your API key:

Authentication failed on the server. 
E/Google Maps Android API(13211): Authorization failure. Please see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/start for how to correctly set up the map.

[abalad]

But the key I'm using already functions normally in other apps ..
Any permissions that have to give the app?

[dapriett]

Do you have Google Maps Android API enabled for that key?

[abalad]

Sorry @dapriett really was it, I was using a JavaScript API Key.

[abalad]

Resolved: Using Google Maps Android API KEY and not the Google Maps JavaScript KEY.

[dapriett]

Glad it worked, good luck.

[aayush26]

Adding another point that solved my scenario:

1. Check logcat and verify that in logcat, the fingerprint:package_name is same as the API Key generated one.

It was different in my case as I used the generate api link present in auto-generated google_maps_api.xml, which apparently gave a wrong package name, and hence the package name mentioned in the logcat was the correct one and on updating the package name in google developer console, it worked.

[kakaye-mkubwa]

helpful thread

[welkinakash5]

I have the same issue, how can i check the API key being used is correct or not. Gmap = mapView.getMap(); should be replaced with getMapAsync() as it is precoded. I have created another key but still map do not appear ..just it is as google and blank

[kakaye-mkubwa]

Run the app while your device is connected to android studio, then check logcat for fingerprint:package_name, you can search for it and check the API key and package name from there

[ozturksirin]

it helped me solve my problem please pay attention to the package name
