I'm developing an app with Android Studio, I'd like to create a RecyclerView where I have an ImageView and upload a static image of a determining point on the map.

Like here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/intro

I tried to use this method with Picasso (Library that takes an image of a url and loads an ImageView) but nothing happens, with other urls of images on the internet that I used to test it worked and loaded in ImageView but with that nothing appears:

imageMap = findViewById(R.id.imageMap);

        String lat = "-12.958811";
        String lon = "-38.401606";

        String url ="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?";
        url+="&zoom=14";
        url+="&size=330x130";
        url+="&maptype=roadmap";
        url+="&markers=color:green%7Clabel:G%7C"+lat+", "+lon;
        url+="&key=MY_KEY";

        Picasso.get().load(url).into(imageMap);

Does anyone know how to do this? With this or another method?

I have tried the methods in other posts reporting this problem but my url is correct in relation to the others.

  • The question is does this url really point to a static image? Have you tried to download the image with the url in a web browser? – Barns Dec 21 '18 at 18:06
  • @Barns Yes, I tested the URL in the browser with my key. It generates the image normally. Downloading it would not help, as I need to generate the images by moving latitude and longitude dynamically. –  Dec 21 '18 at 18:09
  • That wasn't my point that you should use the browser to download the image and save it. I just wanted to know if you had verified that the url points to an actual image. – Barns Dec 21 '18 at 18:12
  • @Barns Generates a png image –  Dec 21 '18 at 18:13
  • @C.Oli did you find a solution to this? – eyes enberg Jan 05 '19 at 15:42

    @C.Oli I fixed mine by using the correct API key (turns out I was using a key that wasn't for Android so it worked on my browser but not on the application). I left some suggestions for you, maybe they'll help – eyes enberg Jan 11 '19 at 19:44

Make sure you're using the right API key (use the one specifically for Android) and get a more detailed stacktrace by adding a simple success/error callback: Android: Picasso load image failed . how to show error message

You need to enable the billing option in your project. Google change the payment methods and now you need to enable this option in order to use some APIs.
