Android not showing pins in debug mode #57

Closed cedrichansen closed 3 years ago

cedrichansen commented 3 years ago

Custom markers are not displayed in debug mode (ie flutter run -d ), but are displayed when running in release mode (flutter run -d --release).

By custom pins, i mean doing the following:

Marker(
       GeoCoord(address.lat, address.long),
        info: address.fullAddress,
        icon: "assets/markers/bluepin.png", ////---THIS PARAM CAUSES ISSUE --
           .......(Other params here)
)

If I remove the "icon:" param, the default pin is displayed in both debug and release mode.

This is NOT an issue on web, but is an issue on android (not sure about ios)

Have found the source of the bug. I was creating these markers in initState(), and adding these markers to a set of markers, which was then assigned to the markers param on the google maps widget - But since loading the custom markers is an async call, the images/markers may not finish loading by the time the first build method is finished.

In order to resolve this, in initState, call 

 WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((timeStamp) {
       Marker m = (... Create marker with custom icon from assets folder)
        GoogleMap.of(_key).addMarker(m);
 })

Hopefully anyone else who runs into this same issue may find my solution helpful.

Other suggestions/fixes are welcome!

I will mark this issue as closed
