On zoom event for google maps on android

Question

We\'re building an application which is using the google maps api for android.

I have my MapController and MapView, and I enable the built-in zoom controls using:

For pre-V2.0, I made a class which extends MapView that alerts a listener with events when the map region starts changing (onRegionBeginChange) and stops changing (onRegionEndChange).

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;

import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;

public class ExMapView extends MapView {
    private static final String TAG = ExMapView.class.getSimpleName();
    private static final int DURATION_DEFAULT = 700;

    private OnRegionChangedListener onRegionChangedListener;
    private GeoPoint previousMapCenter;
    private int previousZoomLevel;
    private int changeDuration; // This is the duration between when the user stops moving the map around and when the onRegionEndChange event fires.
    private boolean isTouched = false;
    private boolean regionChanging = false;

    private Runnable onRegionEndChangeTask = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            regionChanging = false;
            previousMapCenter = getMapCenter();
            previousZoomLevel = getZoomLevel();
            if (onRegionChangedListener != null) {
                onRegionChangedListener.onRegionEndChange(ExMapView.this, previousMapCenter, previousZoomLevel);
            }
        }
    };

    public ExMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    public ExMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init();
    }

    public ExMapView(Context context, String apiKey) {
        super(context, apiKey);
        init();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        isTouched = event.getAction() != MotionEvent.ACTION_UP;
        return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }

    @Override
    public void computeScroll() {
        super.computeScroll();

        // If the map region is still changing (user is still scrolling or zooming), reset timer for onRegionEndChange.
        if ((!isTouched && !getMapCenter().equals(previousMapCenter)) || (previousZoomLevel != getZoomLevel())) {

            // If the region has just begun changing, fire off onRegionBeginChange event.
            if (!regionChanging) {
                regionChanging = true;
                if (onRegionChangedListener != null) {
                    onRegionChangedListener.onRegionBeginChange(this, previousMapCenter, previousZoomLevel);
                }
            }

            // Reset timer for onRegionEndChange.
            removeCallbacks(onRegionEndChangeTask);
            postDelayed(onRegionEndChangeTask, changeDuration);
        }
    }

    private void init() {
        changeDuration = DURATION_DEFAULT;
        previousMapCenter = getMapCenter();
        previousZoomLevel = getZoomLevel();
    }

    public void setOnRegionChangedListener(OnRegionChangedListener listener) {
        onRegionChangedListener = listener;
    }

    public void setChangeDuration(int duration) {
        changeDuration = duration;
    }

    public interface OnRegionChangedListener {
        public abstract void onRegionBeginChange(ExMapView exMapView, GeoPoint geoPoint, int zoomLevel);
        public abstract void onRegionEndChange(ExMapView exMapView, GeoPoint geoPoint, int zoomLevel);
    }
}
