SfMaps "Attempt to invoke virtual method on a null object reference"

[Luis]

Hi! 

I'm trying to implement the SfMaps Control in my Xamarin Forms PCL project. I tried use the code as the samples downloaded with the library but not work for me. I run the sample project and works, but if I create a new project, I get the following error:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.syncfusion.maps.BoundingBox com.syncfusion.maps.ShapeFileHeader.getBoundingBox()' on a null object reference

The control only works for me when I run the sample project, but I can't create my own project with this control.

I have also tried to create a project following the instructions found on the website, but I keep getting the same error

Thanks for your help!!

Hi Luis,

Thanks for using syncfusion products.

We have validated your query and found the possible scenario that would cause the reported error. So, could you please ensure the following instruction from your side

1.Whether shapefile(.shp) referenced under "Assets" folder.

Please get back us , if you still facing the problem with map control.

Hi Luis,

Thanks for your additional information.

We have further validated your query with the attachment and the files are referenced correctly.

It would be better for us to assist you further, if you share us the sample along with shapefile(.shp) and dbffile(.dbf) which you have tried to reproduce the reported issue.

Hi

This is a simple project that I'm using to test the library

Hi Luis,

Thanks for your additional information.

We are able to reproduce the reported issue "Exception throws when shape file doesn’t contain bounding box" and we have logged an issue report for this.

This fix will be included in our up coming Essential studio volume 2 2016 service pack 1 release which is expected to be released on end of July 2016.
