Android Studio - Google Map Still Blank On Real Android Device On Release Apk


Answer :

Make sure you enter your release API key in the google_maps_api.xml under the release folder.

First, switch to Project view by using the dropdown in the upper left of the Project Explorer. Then, expand app/src/, and you will see subfolders debug and release. Under there, you should see two separate google_maps_api.xml files under debug/res/values and release/res/values.

Make sure that the release API key is in the google_maps_api.xml file under the release/res/values folder, since this is the one that will be used for the signed release apk.

i was tired of trying over and over again, it turns out that PlayStore has something called App signing certificate, and the map works after i copy that sha1 and paste it in the google console for the android map.


Go to https://play.google.com/apps/publish/ and then to App signing:

Maybe you will see this:

If that is the case, maybe you are a developer and not the account owner. You will have to contact the account owner and ask him/her to complete that process. Follow this article about how to do that:

https://learnfreecoding.com/how-to-sign-your-android-app-with-signed-key-private_key-pepk/

The account owner will get to this screen:

Ask them to choose Upload a key exported from Android Studio. They will have to upload a private_key.pepk file. This is how you get that file from Android Studio:

  • Go to Build > Generate Signed Bundle / APK....

enter image description here

Select Android App Bundle and click Next:

Provide the corresponding credentials and make sure to put the check on for Export encrypted key for enrolling published apps in Google Play App Signing.

enter image description here

Specify the destination folder and make sure you select release before you click Finish:

enter image description here

That will generate the private_key.pepk file that you need to provide to Upload a key exported from Android Studio.

After doing the above, when you to to the App signing section of your app, you will see something like this:

Then you will see the Google Maps working correctly on real Android Studio physical devices and not only on the Android Studio Emulator. This was the solution for me.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
