Error trying to run sample

[ghost]

after installing dependencies with "npm i" and i do a "npm start i get the following errors?

[email protected] start /home/xxxx/code/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/example

node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start

@kdupreez did you create your accesstoken file? and is there any more info than this? it just appears to be failing in the react native cli

Ok, I so I reverted to installing everything on my Mac and got to a point where looks like everything runs and i can get the app on the simulator.. but now I think I am missing the Android specific setup bits from here: https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/blob/master/android/install.md

How do I do this, should I create a blank android app project and add these options or something?

I am kind of lost on how to get this running on android and what I need to to in order to get the packages registered etc.?

I may be missing the point of using React Native to build cross platform mobile apps if I still have to create build and deploy a normal android studio native Java app to get the packages registered or something?

Any step by step help to get the sample mapbox react-native app deployed to Android would be super appreciated..

Try these steps for creating a blank project.

Create Project

• react-native init ExampleProject
• cd ExampleProject

Link Project
Now follow these steps https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/blob/master/android/install.md

there are only three files you need to update

• android/build.gradle https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/blob/master/android/install.md#projectbuildgradle
• android/app/build.gradle https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/blob/master/android/install.md#appbuildgradle
• MainApplication.java https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/blob/master/android/install.md#mainapplicationjava

Add Javascript

• In your App.js import MapboxGL from '@mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl
• MapboxGL.setAccessToken('<your access token>')
• Add the mapview with whatever props

Run Project

• Connect Android device to laptop, make sure developer mode is enabled and accept the prompt that appears on the device
• run adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081 (make sure your emulator is closed)
• run react-native run-android

Going to close this out if you're still having issues post back here or join our developer group https://gitter.im/react-native-mapbox-gl/Lobby for help

I'm pretty sure I followed all the steps, but still no-go..

not sure if its related, but when i tried to install the node package, i got these warnings:

`

You also need to add this to your settings.gradle https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/blob/master/android/install.md#settingsgradle, if you're having problems after that post your project on github so I can look at it

[kooscode]

I did.. I pretty much followed all the instructions..

[kooscode]

The "example" provided is missing the dependency in the build.gradle file?? is that intentional ?

https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/blob/master/example/android/build.gradle

Missing this: compile project(':mapbox-react-native-mapbox-gl')

[nitaliano]

you're looking at the wrong gradle file, that's the project level one, you need to look at the one in the app directory https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/blob/master/example/android/app/build.gradle

[kooscode]

yaaay! that was it.. it compiles and runs, but the map is blank...

i copy and pasted the sample from https://www.mapbox.com/help/first-steps-react-native-sdk and of course using my token.

You might be running into this #1041 (comment)

yeah, i was getting similar errors in studio - Let me try the advanced gfx settings..
