QML and google maps api key

davidesalvetti

Hi all,

I'm having problems trying to set google maps api key for my project. Everything works well on debug mode but on release mode the map is not shown. I suppose this is because of the Api Key.
I have created my project on google console and enabled the google maps api key so I think the problem is on the code side.
This is my code:

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
import QtQuick.Window 2.0
import QtLocation 5.6
import QtPositioning 5.6

Rectangle {
    id: mainWindow
    width: 512
    height: 512
    visible: true

    ListModel{
        id:dummyModel
        ListElement {
            Latitude: 47.212047
            Longitude: -1.551647
            Label: "something"
            Orientation: 0
            Color:"transparent"
        }
   }

    Plugin {
        id: googleMaps
        name: "googlemaps" // "mapboxgl", "esri", ...
        // specify plugin parameters if necessary
         PluginParameter {
             name:"googlemaps.maps.apikey"
             value:"*******My Api Key*********"
         }

    }

    Map {
        id: myMap
        anchors.fill: parent
        plugin: googleMaps
        activeMapType: supportedMapTypes[1]

        center: QtPositioning.coordinate(59.91, 10.75) // Oslo
        zoomLevel: 14

        MapItemView{
            id:dynamicMapObject
            model: dummyModel
            delegate: MapQuickItem {
                coordinate: QtPositioning.coordinate(Latitude,Longitude)
                sourceItem:  Text{
                    width: 100
                    height: 50
                    text: model.Label
                    rotation: model.Orientation
                    opacity: 0.6
                    color: model.Color
                }
            }
        }

        MapPolyline {
                line.width: 3
                line.color: 'green'
                path: [
                    { latitude: 59.92, longitude: 10.77 },
                    { latitude: 59.96, longitude: 10.78 },
                    { latitude: 59.99, longitude: 10.76 },
                    { latitude: 59.95, longitude: 10.74 }
                ]
        }

        MapCircle {
          //a static item (fixed real dimension) always at 100m east of the map center
          id:prova
          center: myMap.center.atDistanceAndAzimuth(100,90)
          opacity:0.8
          color:"red"
          radius:30

        }
    }

    Button{
        id:buttonMap
        text:"Click to add name"
        onClicked: {
            if(buttonMap.text == "Click to add name")
            {
                buttonMap.text = "Click to cancel name"
                myMap.activeMapType = myMap.supportedMapTypes[3]
            }
            else
            {
                buttonMap.text = "Click to add name"
                myMap.activeMapType = myMap.supportedMapTypes[1]
            }
        }
    }

    GroupBox{
           title:"map types"
           ComboBox{
               model:myMap.supportedMapTypes
               textRole:"description"
               onCurrentIndexChanged: myMap.activeMapType = myMap.supportedMapTypes[currentIndex]
           }
     }
}

I followed this topic (https://forum.qt.io/topic/66725/open-source-map-plug-in-for-qml/24).
Am I doing something wrong writing the plugin parameters? Am I missing something?

Is there a way to see if google api key has been setted well? Or something so that I can understand that the api key is wrong.

Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

The problem was not the apikey. Here is the answer to the question https://forum.qt.io/topic/90126/problem-with-qml-and-google-maps-plugin/3
