We are just starting to work with Google Maps on Android and have a GeoServer set up to provide tiles which we would like to add as overlay on the map. So far, I have followed a few tutorials and references to get started.
The problem: While the url that I am generating in the getTileUrl function in the TileProviderFactory does indeed return a png image when I set a breakpoint and copy and paste the url into a browser, it does not load onto the map as an overlay on the Android device. There are no errors being thrown from what I can see and after reading this I am not sure if there will be any as they have indicated that the errors are being muted.
What I am wondering is if you can see any immediate issues in my code or have any suggestions for debugging where I will be able to tell if the application is actually communicating with my GeoServer to retrieve the image or not. I've looked at the log on the GeoServer and it seems as though only my browser requests are going through and it's not receiving any requests from Android (it's a bit difficult to tell because we have other applications using the server as well). The Android phone is connected by both wifi and cell and has gps enabled. As a last resort I have tried changing the tile overlay zIndex and setting it to visible but this didn't seem to make any difference.
EDIT: Android device is definite
