Google Maps Native not Working

deltadax18 · March 29, 2017, 5:42pm

I create a new fresh Project
ionic start testMap blank --v2

then add google maps following the new documentation for Ionic Native 3

ionic-team/ionic-native-google-maps/blob/master/documents/README.md

# \@ionic-native/google-maps document

This plugin used for [cordova-plugin-googlemaps](https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps).

## Installation

In order to use this plugin, you need to generate API keys at the Google Developers Console.
Please follow the instruction.

- [How to generate API keys?](./api_key/generate_api_key.md)

```
$> ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps

$> npm install --save @ionic-native/core@latest @ionic-native/google-maps@latest
```

Add API Keys to `config.xml`:

```xml

This file has been truncated. show original

ionic build ios (Everything seems ok)

Then start the project from xcode and run it on a device.
It boots up, but then the maps page is only a white big screen.
Nothing happen.
And on the console the last log is that the device is ready.
allready check on the API Key and its ok, it has no restriccions.

What could be wrong?

williamdelvalle · March 29, 2017, 6:47pm

You are sure that you placed the div size in css.:

#map {
  height: 100%;
}

or

<ion-content>
  <div id="map" style="height: 100%;"></div>
</ion-content>

deltadax18 · March 29, 2017, 8:14pm

Yes i only got this on the scss

page-home {

  #map {
    height: 100%;
  }
  
}

williamdelvalle · March 29, 2017, 8:33pm

Try this:

map.on(GoogleMapsEvent.MAP_READY).subscribe(() => {console.log('Map is ready!')});

alfabetagama · March 29, 2017, 8:53pm

You also have to add Google maps to app.module.ts providers

providers: [
BLE,
GoogleMaps
]

deltadax18 · March 29, 2017, 9:10pm

Well I did another check with your suggestions and now the app is not just a white screen
Now it has the ion-nav-bar
But where the map should be is just a black screen.

Any ideas?

alfabetagama · March 29, 2017, 9:38pm

You should enable debugger to see if there are any errors.

2.also check that you are using IOS sdk API key, javascript api key wont work

3.try to uninstal plugin and install it again

deltadax18 · March 29, 2017, 9:55pm

Well i guess I found out what the issue is, sort of.

Finnally got a white screen again but with the nav bar.
And on the console i do see the Map is ready! log.
And on the Google Console, i do get the request.
So the map is loading somewhere.

So with the safari inspect i look at the propertys.
and well trying to figure out i unchecked a css property and puff the maps showed!
I thought it was a particular property, but it seemed to work with any property I uncheck,
even if it was not from the map div
The map is there, but it seems like the css has a white screen in front, or it dosnt load correctly.

I’ve try with this two hacks i found on github

ion-nav.has-views {
background-color: transparent !important;
}

ion-app.gmaps_cdv .nav-decor{
background-color: transparent !important;
}

But none seems to solve the problem, even tried this

ionViewWillEnter(): void {
document.getElementsByClassName(‘nav-decor’)[2].className += ’ hide’;
document.getElementsByClassName(‘nav-decor’)[3].className += ’ hide’;
}

ionViewWillLeave(): void {
document.getElementsByClassName(‘nav-decor’)[2].className = ‘nav-decor’;
document.getElementsByClassName(‘nav-decor’)[3].className = ‘nav-decor’;
}

Found in here 'nav-decor' hides GoogleMap · Issue #7205 · ionic-team/ionic-framework · GitHub

But it just seem is a too old fix.

Any ideas?

alfabetagama · March 29, 2017, 10:13pm

I think it might be opacity.

This is my css, works for Javascript API and Android native plugin, didn’t test on IOS. Some of it may be old artifacts from previous tries

 #map_canvas {
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%;
      transition: opacity 150ms ease-in
    }

    #map_canvas.show-map {
      opacity: 1;
    }

    ion-app._gmaps_cdv_ .nav-decor{
      background-color: transparent !important;
    }

    .show-map {
      opacity: 1;
    }

ihadeed · March 29, 2017, 11:45pm

See my basic Google Map component here: https://github.com/ihadeed/ionic-native-playground/blob/master/src/components/google-map/google-map.ts

deltadax18 · March 30, 2017, 8:19pm

Try This and no luck.

Well now I still on this point

app.scss

ion-nav.has-views {
  background-color: transparent !important;
}

home.scss

ion-app._gmaps_cdv_ .nav-decor{
  background-color: transparent !important;
}

page-home {

  #map {
    height: 100%;
  }

}

home.ts

constructor(public navCtrl: NavController,
              private googleMaps: GoogleMaps,
              private platform: Platform) {

    platform.ready().then(()=>{
      console.log("PLATFORM READY!");
      this.loadMap();
    });

  }

  loadMap() {
    // make sure to create following structure in your view.html file
    // and add a height (for example 100%) to it, else the map won't be visible
    // <ion-content>
    //  <div #map id="map" style="height:100%;"></div>
    // </ion-content>

    // create a new map by passing HTMLElement
    let element: HTMLElement = document.getElementById('map');

    let map: GoogleMap = this.googleMaps.create(element);

    // listen to MAP_READY event
    // You must wait for this event to fire before adding something to the map or modifying it in anyway
    map.on(GoogleMapsEvent.MAP_READY).subscribe(() => {
      console.log('Map is ready!');

      // create LatLng object
      let ionic: LatLng = new LatLng(43.0741904, -89.3809802);

      // create CameraPosition
      let position: CameraPosition = {
        target: ionic,
        zoom: 18,
        tilt: 30
      };

      // move the map's camera to position
      map.moveCamera(position);

      // create new marker
      let markerOptions: MarkerOptions = {
        position: ionic,
        title: 'Ionic'
      };

      map.addMarker(markerOptions)
        .then((marker: Marker) => {
          marker.showInfoWindow();
        });

    });

  }

home.html

<ion-header>
  <ion-navbar>
    <ion-title>
      Ionic Blank
    </ion-title>
  </ion-navbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content>
  <div id="map"></div>
</ion-content>

I Got a White Screen

And if i go to Safari Inspector and uncheck any CSS Propertys the map shows!

Unchecked any property and the map shows!

deltadax18 · March 30, 2017, 8:50pm

Try using the code from your project
But it doesn’t run, I just get a big white screen.

ihadeed · March 30, 2017, 8:56pm

Did you install the plugin correctly with a valid API key?

deltadax18 · March 30, 2017, 9:01pm

Yes, I used the same installation I allready have that is working like in here Google Maps Native not Working

And copy your page and component code
And set the app component to use your page as root.
And I only get this.

And Import the page and Component on App Module

app.module.ts

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    MyApp,
    HomePage,
    GoogleMapComponent,
    GoogleMapsPage
  ],
  imports: [
    IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp)
  ],
  bootstrap: [IonicApp],
  entryComponents: [
    MyApp,
    HomePage,
    GoogleMapsPage
  ],
  providers: [
    GoogleMaps,
    StatusBar,
    SplashScreen,
    {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler}
  ]
})

google-maps.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-google-maps',
  templateUrl: 'google-maps.html'
})
export class GoogleMapsPage {

  onMapClick(e) {
    console.log('map was clicked', e);
  }

  onMapReady(e) {
    console.log('map is ready', e);
  }

}

google-maps.html

<ion-header>

  <ion-navbar color="primary">
    <ion-title>Google Maps</ion-title>
  </ion-navbar>

</ion-header>


<ion-content>

  <google-map (mapClick)="onMapClick($event)" (mapReady)="onMapReady(e)"></google-map>

</ion-content>

google-map.ts

@Component({
  selector: 'google-map',
  template: ''
})
export class GoogleMapComponent implements OnInit {

  private mapContainer: HTMLElement;

  map: GoogleMap;

  private isInit: boolean = false;

  _height: string = '100%';
  @Input()
  set height(val: string) {
    this._height = val;
    this.isInit && this.setHeight();
  }

  get height(): string {
    return this._height;
  }

  _width: string = '100%';
  @Input()
  set width(val: string) {
    this._width = val;
    this.isInit && this.setWidth();
  }

  get width() {
    return this._width;
  }

  @Output()
  mapClick: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter<any>();

  @Output()
  mapReady: EventEmitter<GoogleMap> = new EventEmitter<GoogleMap>();


  constructor(
    private platform: Platform,
    private renderer: Renderer,
    private el: ElementRef,
    private googleMaps: GoogleMaps
  ) {
    this.mapContainer = el.nativeElement;
  }

  ngOnInit() {

    this.setupContainer();

    this.platform.ready()
      .then(() => {
        this.map = this.googleMaps.create(this.mapContainer);

        this.map.one(GoogleMapsEvent.MAP_READY)
          .then(() => {
            this.mapReady.emit(this.map);
            this.isInit = true;
          });

        this.map.on(GoogleMapsEvent.MAP_CLICK)
          .subscribe(data => this.mapClick.emit(data));

      });

  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.map.remove();
  }

  private setupContainer() {
    this.setWidth();
    this.setHeight();

    // set display block
    this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.mapContainer, 'z-index', '1000');
    this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.mapContainer, 'display', 'block');
  }

  private setWidth() {
    this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.mapContainer, 'width', this._width);
  }

  private setHeight() {
    this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.mapContainer, 'height', this._height);
  }

}

I Just upload the code here

So it’s easer to check.
Still not able to run ionic native google maps on iOS.

ihadeed · March 30, 2017, 9:27pm

Can’t see what’s wrong with it.

Instead of setting that page as your root page, try pushing it through HomePage's NavController.

It is possible that the map is initializing before the view is ready (since I have ngOnInit instead of ngAfterViewInit).

deltadax18 · March 31, 2017, 12:51pm

I did what you ask me.
And now it works! and is just exactly what I Need.
thanks for the support!

mkanmori · April 7, 2017, 1:48pm

Is this implemented in your repository as I would like to try this out, I’m also having issues getting this working.
Thanks
