But as requested, I provided the sample project that is not working. I can add some more code withing typescript that will use google maps plugin, but I don't think that will fix the java compilation problem which has nothing to do with the ts code ...

It seems your project fails to install the Google Play Services.

If you still get the error after trying the above, please share your project files on github.

wf9a5m75 on 22 Sep 2017

I try but not work

ReeVicente on 22 Sep 2017

I can't share code

ReeVicente on 22 Sep 2017

You can't share your code, I can't help you further more.

I'm having similar issue, unable to build my android application with the google maps plugin.
Error in

...\platforms\android\src\plugin\google\maps\PluginGroundOverlay.java:161: error: cannot find symbol
                  groundOverlay.setTag(null);
                               ^

Tried various methods to add/remove the plugin and platform from here: https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps/issues/1579 but always fails with this groundOverlay.setTag(null) error ...

result config.xml after my cordova plugin add command (that I guess should be working):

    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-googlemaps" spec="~2.0.11">
        <variable name="API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID" value="..." />
        <variable name="API_KEY_FOR_IOS" value="..." />
    </plugin>

I'm using Ionic 3 but i don't think it's related to that.
My configuration:

Tools:
    Cordova CLI : 7.0.1
    Cordova Platforms  : android 6.2.3
    Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.6.1

System:
    Android SDK Tools : 25.2.2
    Node              : v6.9.5
    npm               : 3.10.3
    OS                : Windows 10

Here it is:
https://github.com/peter-bozovic/IonicWithGoogleMaps

It's just starter Ionic template with googlemaps plugin added and tried to build with cordova build android

peter-bozovic on 25 Sep 2017

Thank you, but where is the code?
https://github.com/peter-bozovic/IonicWithGoogleMaps/blob/master/src/pages/home/home.ts

wf9a5m75 on 25 Sep 2017

I didn't put any yet. The issue is in compiling, I can't even get to this empty page ...

peter-bozovic on 25 Sep 2017

Please study how to use ionic before using this plugin

wf9a5m75 on 25 Sep 2017

I know how to use Ionic and I can't give you the source files of my whole project.

That is why I only used basic sample where I can't build the android application after adding the google maps plugin

peter-bozovic on 25 Sep 2017

Sorry, in that case, I can't help you further.

I was able to build your project without any problems.

$> git clone https://github.com/peter-bozovic/IonicWithGoogleMaps
$> vim config.xml        # specify the API keys.
$> vim package.json   # specify the API keys.
$> npm install
$> ionic cordova run android

That's all.

wf9a5m75 on 25 Sep 2017

Then it must be something with my workstation.

But I took some time to try it on another computer and it still doesn't work :(
Also I have different (stranger) compilation error

So my main workstation ionic info:

cli packages: (...\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules)
    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.9.2
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.9.2

global packages:
    Cordova CLI : 7.0.1

local packages:
    @ionic/app-scripts : 2.1.4
    Cordova Platforms  : android 6.2.3
    Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.6.1

System:
    Android SDK Tools : 25.2.2
    Node              : v6.9.5
    npm               : 3.10.3 
    OS                : Windows 10

And output after ionic cordova build android:

Again, if I remove the cordova-plugin-googlemaps my application compiles correctly (on both computers).

Am I missing some other package or SDK that I have to install on my computer ?
Are you also using cordova 7.0.1 and android 25 for your build that worked ?

Any help will be appriciated
Thanks

I guess your Google Play Services and Google Repository are old.

wf9a5m75 on 26 Sep 2017

Yep, upgraded Google Play Services and Google Repository.
After that, my main computer had the same error message as the second one (strange merge error)

So after googling that error found some limitation about folder names longer than 240 characters, etc.
After copying the project to the root of my drive, it finally compiled :)

So I can finally start some playing with the google maps plugin :)

Thanks again

peter-bozovic on 26 Sep 2017

You are welcome. I appreciate if you buy me a beer

So what version of Google Play Services did you install?

wf9a5m75 on 8 Jan 2018

@wf9a5m75 It's 46.

vahidvdn on 8 Jan 2018

Did you modify the plugin.xml file of this plugin? And please show me the $> cordova plugin list everything.

wf9a5m75 on 8 Jan 2018

@wf9a5m75 Oh sorry, it seems I have had some connection problems yesterday. Now it works fine.
