Hmm did you add the plugin after adding the android project? You may need to do this ```auto ionic platform rm android ionic platform add 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](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?

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](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() location: variable webView of type CordovaWebView 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+”
