JSON Feed On Google Map Is Showing Nothing
Solution 1:
I found these problems in your code:
- In your loop where you create each marker, you are looping over the
json
array. However, this is not your array of marker data.json[0]
is your main object, andjson[0].ResponseData
is the marker array that you need to loop over. So I put that value in a variable namedresponses
and looped over that instead. I don't know if the JSON data could have more than one object in its outermost array; if it does you would need an outer loop to handle those. For now I assumed there is just one outer object addressed withjson[0]
. - When you call
addClicker
you pass inobj.title
which doesn't exist. Presumably you meantobj.BuildingName
. - Your click handler references a variable called
infowindow
, but on the first click that variable does not exist and causes an error. So I declaredinfowindow
as a global window.
So, how did I find these problems? Using the JavaScript debugger. Normally I would add a debugger;
statement at the beginning of the initialize()
function and single step through the code to see what is going on. This would reveal that where the main loop sets var obj = json[i];
it isn't getting the expected value.
That works great on a normal web page, but it doesn't seem to work well in the embedded snippet here on SO. (The debugger shows the wrong source line.) So instead I started adding console.log();
statements where it looked like things might be going wrong, such as console.log( 'obj:', obj );
immediately after the var obj =
assignment.
Also, it's nice to automatically zoom and center the map according to where the markers are located. I added a bit of code using a LatLngBounds
which is extended for each marker, and then a map.fitBounds()
after all the markers are created. If you do that you don't need to explicitly zoom and center the map when first creating it, so I removed those. (Otherwise the map is displayed at one position and then repositioned.)
One caveat with the fitBounds()
: if there were no markers, then the map wouldn't get displayed at all. To handle that case you would want to check for the case where responses.length
is zero and call map.setZoom()
and map.setCenter()
with default values.
I marked the changed lines with ////
to make them easy to find:
