Map It: Displaying Locations on a Google Map

[Richard_Boehm]

What is the point of this example. For example, I add three addresses and save them in the AddressList. When I leave the app and start it again, the address list is empty. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
Does anyone have any information for me.
In advance Thank you very much.

Which example ?

Here is the link Map It: Displaying Locations on a Google Map

The example uses TinyDB to store the locations...

It looks like you have done something wrong

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.

Map It

[Richard_Boehm]

Hello Taifun....I have installed the app "Map It" on my Handy. No changes have been made to the app. The app contains the original code. If I save an address, I can select it in the list. If I use the app When I close the App and start again, the list is empty. The saved addresses are not visible in the list. That was the reason for my question.

Handy. No changes have been made to the app. The app contains the original code. If I save an address, I can select it in the list. If I use the app When I close the App and start again, the list is empty. The saved addresses are not visible in the list.

My experience is the app works as described in the tutorial. The saved addresses exist after closing and then reopening the app. I compiled using Companion 2.73 and nb199a just now. I used a Samsung A13 (Android 13). The app works fine.

You said you made no changes to the app. OK, did you code the app from the blocks shown in the tutorial or did you download the aia? If you used the images as a guide it is possible you didn't copy all Blocks correctly.

What brand and model is your cell phone. Is it Android or ios?

Please post the Blocks you used and/or the aia you used and someone could test it.

Make these two changes Richard and your app will WORK.

Compile and try again. It should now save. Did it?
