Hello,

I have written a simple map application using the google API. I have
the apikey set and the map displays properly on the android phone.
However, there is always a red square on the bottom left of the map,
that I don't know how to get rid off.
Here is the URL of the snapshot: http://picasaweb.google.com/mcornill/Screenshots#5399362615931619762
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Matt

Hi Andrew,

It's an android application, so here is the pretty simple source code
that produces that annoying red square on the map:

import android.*;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Point;
import android.location.Address;
import android.location.Geocoder;
import android.view.*;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.maps.*;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView.LayoutParams;
import android.os.Bundle;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;

public class MapsActivity extends MapActivity
{
    static MapView mapView;
    MapController mc;
    GeoPoint p;
    private static final int PREFERENCES_GROUP_ID=0;
    private static final int SETTINGS_ID=Menu.FIRST;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        // Allow zooming
        mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView);
        mapView.setSatellite(true);

        mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

        mc = mapView.getController();

        Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
        try {
            List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocationName(
                "Palo Alto, CA", 5);
            String add = "";
            if (addresses.size() > 0) {
                p = new GeoPoint(
                        (int) (addresses.get(0).getLatitude() * 1E6),
                        (int) (addresses.get(0).getLongitude() *
1E6));
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        mc.animateTo(p);
        mc.setZoom(17);

        mapView.invalidate();

    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
        return false;
    }

Thanks
Matt
