Maps, Ripple emulator work, android emulator NO

Question

I'm trying a code gogole maps with cordoba with 2 different emulators , ripple chroome and the Android emulator normal . Ripple works and shows me a map geographic location , while the emulator Android rest a whole screen gray . Why ?

I think I had this before. And the solution is to wait... my Map shown up after something like 3 minutes. — kaho, Jun 26 '15 at 14:21

I think the emulator is just failed to report its location.

And later I realized what is making that gray screen is we did not handle time-out probably. When we are getting the user location, it might take forever before the browser returns the location. Best practice is to first set a location and then update the maps later when the location becomes available. Also we should set the timeout for the geolocation too, as it is default to be Infinity.

I created a jsfiddle for that.

To put the map in HYBRID, you should add mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID in the maps option. So you mapOptions should looks like:

  var mapOptions = {
    zoom: 14,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID
  };

before your ` // Try HTML5 geolocation`, try to set a default location. Look at line 19 of the jsfiddle. Also refer to this post for more information on timeout http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3397585/navigator-geolocation-getcurrentposition-sometimes-works-sometimes-doesnt – kaho Jun 26 '15 at 16:00
I understood , but as I enter a default location without sending in error all ? – Alex Jun 26 '15 at 16:23
yea, that would prevent user stuck in the gray screen, and your map would be functional even if the HTML5 geolocation does not return a location, or occur errors – kaho Jun 26 '15 at 16:25
Thank you, could you come Even Change the map type in " hybrid " ? Why when I try to put it in the map options me everything goes wrong . – Alex Jun 29 '15 at 07:27
To put the map in HYBRID, you should add `mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID` in the maps option – kaho Jun 29 '15 at 15:01
I had already tried in this way , when I put it sends me everything in error and no longer see the map , the same thing when I try to change the marker icon – Alex Jun 30 '15 at 10:31
if you try jsfiddle I see my mistake with map id – Alex Jun 30 '15 at 10:37
now the map worked, but geolocation in the emulator not see – Alex Jul 06 '15 at 08:40
