Hmm did you add the plugin after adding the android project?
You may need to do this

ionic platform rm android
ionic platform add android
3

Yep.
And i get ionic-test app from https://github.com/wf9a5m75/ionic_test
step-by-step. as result i see map on ios emulator but it’s blank on android

Hi, I get get this error after added the crosswalk browser ionic browser add crosswalk, https://github.com/wf9a5m75/phonegap-googlemaps-plugin/issues/302#issuecomment-87138144, I updated everything and I want to try to target android 21 but when I run the command it always add Android SDK API 19, any idea?
I also added this to my config.xml

Adding crosswalk browser

Downloaded cordova-crosswalk-engine

Downloaded Cordova Android for Crosswalk

Downloaded Crosswalk webviews

Fetching Android SDK API 19.1.0

Was this ever resolved? I too am getting the same errors…38 of them and then the build fails. Driving me nuts as I have searched 20 diff times for this error and haven’t really come across any useful info to help me understand what is going on.

…and I removed the platform android and re-added it, still getting the same results/errors.

Ok, I did the following:

cordova plugim rm plugin.google.maps
cordova plugin rm com.google.playservices
cordova plugin add https://github.com/wf9a5m75/google-play-services#v23
cordova plugin add plugin.google.maps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID=“YOUR_ANDROID_API_KEY_IS_HERE” --variable API_KEY_FOR_IOS=“YOUR_IOS_API_KEY_IS_HERE”

And that reduced my errors from 38 down to 24.

These are the two primary errors now, about 12 from each .java file:

C:\Users\RPO\Documents\Developer\MobileApp\lust\platforms\android\src\plugin\google\maps\GoogleMaps.java:881: error: cannot find symbol
divTop + divH - webView.getScrollY());
^
symbol: method getScrollY()

C:\Users\RPO\Documents\Developer\MobileApp\lust\platforms\android\src\plugin\google\maps\MyPluginLayout.java:53: error: cannot find symbol
this.root = (ViewGroup) webView.getParent();

And my relevant plugins:
android.support.v4 21.0.1 "Android Support v4"
com.google.playservices 23.0.0 "Google Play Services for Android
com.jamiestarke.webviewdebug 1.0.8 "WebView Debug"
com.ludei.webview.plus 2.4.3 “Webview+”
