BlackBerry Cascades 10 Maps example keeps showing black screen


I am trying to run the maps example Qml however my MapView keeps loading as a just black. I checked the console output and spotted this.

slogger2 buffer handle not initialized. ../../lgmon_api.c, logEvent(), around line 578!

using the following render engine:  bb::cascades::maps::BlankRenderEngine 

So it looks like it is not loading a proper render engine for my map. I tried updating my SDK and updated the OS on the phone using the blackberry OS update to no avail.

Here is the full Qml for my map:

import bb.cascades 1.0
import bb.cascades.maps 1.0

Page {
    Container {
        layout: StackLayout {
        }
        MapView {
            id: mapview
            latitude: 43.468245
            longitude: -80.519603
            altitude: 10000
        }
    }
}

More details: OS Version: 10.9.10.35 Native SDK: 10.0.9.1673 Momentics Version: 10.0.9

I tried another SDK version too, 10.0.10.xxx and it didn't work either.


Solution

  • As @Hithredin mentioned above in a comment, in order to have maps functionality you need to make sure that you specified all the libraries to link for linker in your .pro file:

    LIBS += -lbbplatform -lbbcascadesmaps -lGLESv1_CM
    

    and also if you're using geolocation (which happens pretty often when you use maps) you need to have the following set of permissions in your bar-descriptor.xml file:

    <permission>read_geolocation</permission>
    <permission>access_location_services</permission>
