Android crash when google maps is draged

ionic-v1
#1

Hi.

I have an error with my app when i try to drag and move google-maps, the app crash and it’s show me the classical error from android “Unfortunately the application is stopped”. This issue happened with android and only with some devices , for example with a device Nexus 6 and 6.0.1(android version) or with Samsung s4 and 5.0.1(android version).

The issue didn’t happen with others devices or other different versions of android.

I tested with angular-google-maps, ngMap and directly with javascript api v3 from google, but the issue always exists.

I tested with the template ionic-starter-maps and the issue exists too. In this case the logcat show me:

Same problem here on a nexus 5x, android 6.01, webview 47.0.2526.100 . sometimes even without any dragging. Without markers it seems to work fine.

#3

Hi, i put an issue in the chromium project, seems like an issue with the webview in some devices, especially almost all Nexus.

This is the issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=577218

#4

Having this issue as well on a Nexus 6P fully updated. The map loads and then crashes on any movement to the map.

#5

I have the same issue with a fully updated N6P. The app loads and when map is opened it crashes. The same app works when map is not there. However, the N5 with latest updates work fine.

#6

I created this ionic project and built it with phonegap build. See https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1275078/HelloCordova-debug.apk try nexus 6p / nexus 5x and move the map around after it gets you position. The app crashes every single time.

Source code is here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1275078/HelloCordova-Location.zip

Looks like a google maps bug when using it with cordova. Any ideas? No useful error in logcat. iOS works fine and this is just on Android.

Hi, this problem is an issue with the webview in some devices, especially the Nexus… I resolved this issue using leafletjs for the map (http://leafletjs.com/). If you want, you can use the google maps layers.

#8

Thanks, did you mean that you used leaflet.js and still map tiles from Google? Or did you say you are using maps from leafletjs also?

#9

I’m using leaflet.js and map tiles from google, this plugin https://github.com/shramov/leaflet-plugins allow this.

Cheers.

#10

add whitelist plugin in your app

#11

cordova-plugin-whitelist is already added. Check out my comment above with the sample app.

#12

I figured it out! :smiley:
I literally spent hours till I got it. All you have to do is set draggable to true on the markers like this:

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: markerLatLng,
map: map,
title: tempItems[i].name,
draggable: true
});

The problem was only happening on my Nexus 5x, but it worked on an iPhone6, iPhone5c, and the Asus Zendphone2. If this doesn’t work, comment out your markers and see if the maps come up at all. For me, it was ONLY the markers that where causing troubles.

Awesome, just tried it with draggable: true and maps work fine. Great job. Worked on nexus 6p and nexus 5x that crashed with the sample apk above.

Now the crash is avoided which is a great thing. Now I have to look at how to avoid certain pins from being dragged at all.

#14

Yeah, it’s not perfect, but at least it doesn’t crash. I’m trying to figure out a work around atm. Let me know if you figure anything out

#15

Stupid work around:

          userMarker.addListener('drag', function() {
            console.log("hi");
            userMarker.setPosition(myLatlng);
          });

This way it’s selectable, so it doesn’t crash, but they can’t move the marker. Far from perfect, but it works. :sunny:

Aside from the temporary workaround, is the origin of the problem known?
I’m guessing it has to do with the device/android version.

For the record: I’m using a Nexus 6P with Android 6.0.1 and I’m experiencing the crash

#17

This is a known bug in webview latest live android webview. This is fixed in https://plus.google.com/communities/105434725573080290360

Join beta and update your https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview and things work fine.

See bug report here https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=541145 and fixed in beta above.

Great
I just got and update of the Android System Webview but it was only the M48 release.
Just knowing that a fix has been found and is on the way is more than enough for me, thanks!

#19

This is also an issue when using polyline and drawing on the map. Only affects Nexus 5x.
Anyone else encountered this issue?

#20

This worked for me

android:hardwareAccelerated="false"

on androidmanifest.xml
