I’m new here, I’m working on a small gps game that display a simple map.
I’m using Kotlin with osmdroid 6.1.18

I successfully displayed a map with MAPNIK as tile source :
MapView.setTileSource(TileSourceFactory.MAPNIK)

MAPNIK map

However, this map display too much information for people to play with.
I want to display a map with only roads and paths (maybe their names, but that’s all !).

So I tried to display other tile sourced maps : HIKEBIKEMAP, OPEN_SEAMAP, PUBLIC_TRANSPORT, etc …
But all of them are blank :

Blank map

I searched in the small FAQ from the GitHub and tried every solutions related to my problem :

• setting the “user agent”
• creating a “network_security_config.xml”
• checking permissions in “AndroidManifest.xml”

But it didn’t change a thing.
So I tried to use the Debug mode from Configuration.getInstance().isDebugMode = true but I’m drowning from the amount of information I get in the Logcat. I don’t know what error is related to my map problem.

I stopped searching with the debug mode and focused on setting the TileSource through URLs like this. But the map still blank, even if I tried different URLs recommended in other stackoverflow’s solutions.
I doubt the URLs links are broken.

I’m out of options and kinda lost, so I’m asking help for just displaying a simplier map !

Here’s my MainActivity :

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    private val REQUEST_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CODE = 1
    private lateinit var map : MapView
    private lateinit var text : TextView
    private lateinit var mapController : IMapController

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        Configuration.getInstance().apply {
            userAgentValue = applicationContext.packageName
            load( applicationContext, PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(applicationContext))
            // isDebugMode = true  // DEBUG
        }

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        // DEBUG TextView
        //text = findViewById(R.id.debugText)
        //Configuration.getInstance().apply {
        //    text.append("cacheMapTileCount : $cacheMapTileCountn" +
        //                "cacheMapTileOvershoot : $cacheMapTileOvershootn")
        //}

        // TILES
        val tileSource: ITileSource = XYTileSource(
            "HOT", 1, 20, 256, ".png", arrayOf(
                "http://a.tile.openstreetmap.fr/",
                "http://b.tile.openstreetmap.fr/",
                "http://c.tile.openstreetmap.fr/"
            ), "© OpenStreetMap contributors"
        )

        // Map creation from Tiles
        map = findViewById(R.id.map)
        map.apply {
            setTileSource(tileSource)
            setBuiltInZoomControls(true)
            overlayManager
        }

        // Start from this point
        val startPoint = GeoPoint(47.9, 1.9)
        mapController = map.controller
        mapController.setZoom(18.0)
        mapController.setCenter(startPoint)

        // Display my location
        // val mLocationOverlay = MyLocationNewOverlay(GpsMyLocationProvider(applicationContext), map)
        // mLocationOverlay.enableMyLocation()
        // map.overlays.add(mLocationOverlay)

        // Display a compass
        // val compassOverlay = CompassOverlay(applicationContext, InternalCompassOrientationProvider(applicationContext), map)
        // compassOverlay.enableCompass()
        // map.overlays.add(compassOverlay)

        // Display lonlat grid
        //val overlay = LatLonGridlineOverlay2()
        //map.overlays.add(overlay)

        // Add map rotation
        // val rotationGestureOverlay = RotationGestureOverlay(map)
        // rotationGestureOverlay.isEnabled
        // map.setMultiTouchControls(true)
        // map.overlays.add(rotationGestureOverlay)

        // Interest point creation
        // var items = mutableListOf<OverlayItem>()
        // var origin = OverlayItem("Statue de Jeanne d'Arc","Héroïne d'Orléans", GeoPoint(47.8,2.0))
        //var draw : Drawable = origin.getMarker(0)
        // items.add(origin)
        // items.add(OverlayItem("3030","Random", GeoPoint(0.1,0.1)))

        // Map listener
        // val listener = object : OnItemGestureListener<OverlayItem> {
        //     override fun onItemSingleTapUp(index : Int, item : OverlayItem): Boolean {
        //         println("MAP : onItemSingleTapUp")  // DEBUG
        //         return true
        //     }

        //     override fun onItemLongPress(index : Int, item : OverlayItem): Boolean {
        //         println("MAP : onItemLongPress")    // DEBUG
        //         return false
        //     }
        // }
        // var mOverlay = ItemizedOverlayWithFocus(applicationContext, items, listener)
        // mOverlay.setFocusItemsOnTap(true)

    }

    override fun onPause() {
        super.onPause()
        map.onPause()
        println("MAP : onPause")  // DEBUG

}

My permissions from “AndroidManifest” :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.network" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.wifi" />
