Hi,

The map widget key needs to be generated based on a domain name. The key generated for a single domain can be used for all sub-domains, URLs on hosts in those domains, and all ports on those hosts. We request you to follow the below procedure and try to generate a map key to work in all the devices.

We are checking the sample application provided and update you with the solution.

Thank You,

Hi,

With the provided sample app we observed "Ensure that the "Google Maps Android API v2" is enabled" message in the logs,

Please refer the below doc to generate a map key

http://docs.kony.com/konylibrary/visualizer/visualizer_user_guide/Default.htm#Generating_Map_Keys.htm

To use the latest Google Play libraries (Rev 13 and above which supports only Android v2.3 and above devices), do the following:

  1. In Kony Visualizer, On the Project menu, click Settings.
  2. Click the Native tab, and then click the Android sub-tab.
  3. Scroll down in the dialog box, and under Manifest Properties, click the Tags tab.
  4. In the Child tag entries under <application> tag text box, add the following tag:
  5. <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />.

With the above changes Map widget is loading in the device.
