Using GoogleMaps 3.8.0 in SmartGWT app

[nevega]

Hi
I'm using SmartGWT 3.0p and try to load Google Maps inside HLayout container. The code is prity simple:

static HLayout layout = new HLayout();

public void onModuleLoad() {

AjaxLoaderOptions options = AjaxLoaderOptions.newInstance();
options.setOtherParms("sensor=false&language=ja");
Runnable callback = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
renderMap();
}
};

layout.setHeight100();
layout.setWidth100();
layout.draw();
AjaxLoader.loadApi("maps", "3", callback, options);
}

public static void renderMap() {
LatLng myLatLng = LatLng.create(-34.397, 150.644);
MapOptions myOptions = MapOptions.create();
myOptions.setZoom(8.0);
myOptions.setCenter(myLatLng);
myOptions.setMapTypeId(MapTypeId.ROADMAP);

GoogleMap.create(layout.getElement(), myOptions);
}


and this doesn't work - the map is not shown on the browser. The same code but using pure GWT panels is working fine:

//static HLayout layout = new HLayout();
static LayoutPanel layout = new LayoutPanel();

public void onModuleLoad() {

AjaxLoaderOptions options = AjaxLoaderOptions.newInstance();
options.setOtherParms("sensor=false&language=ja");
Runnable callback = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
renderMap();
}
};

// layout.setHeight100();
// layout.setWidth100();
layout.setHeight("100%");
layout.setWidth("100%");
// layout.draw();
RootPanel.get().add(layout);
AjaxLoader.loadApi("maps", "3", callback, options);
}

public static void renderMap() {
LatLng myLatLng = LatLng.create(-34.397, 150.644);
MapOptions myOptions = MapOptions.create();
myOptions.setZoom(8.0);
myOptions.setCenter(myLatLng);
myOptions.setMapTypeId(MapTypeId.ROADMAP);

GoogleMap.create(layout.getElement(), myOptions);
}


Is there any solution on this?

Any luck?
This is quiet a big issue considering that on May maps 2 will be no longer an option (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/).

I'm having exactly the same issue.
Would appreciate help.

Thanks!

Actually, it appears to be working when using layout.getDOM() instead of layout.getElement()
