After updating Google Play Services to version 18, seems that GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException can't be used anymore. This piece of code: try { MapsInitializer.initialize(ctx); } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } generates this error: Unreachable catch block for GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException. This exception is never thrown from the try statement body How can I achieve the same result now? Thanks Now the function initialize() returns a ConnectionResult so you can do something like this: if (MapsInitializer.initialize(ctx) !=

I'm using the new snapshot() method on the GoogleMap object, and in my SnapshotReadyCallback I'm swapping out the MapView in my layout for an ImageView with the Bitmap passed to me from the callback. The unfortunate thing about this is, even though I'm getting a Bitmap it appears that the snapshot was taken before the map finished rendering. I should also add that this View is being created programmatically, and isn't added to the Activity right away (it's actually being placed in a ScrollView with a bunch of other Views). The gist of my code (for brevity's sake) is: public class MyCustomView

I need help adding Google Maps to my Android app. I have followed the instructions on https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start , but I still get an error when running the app. This my manifest: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.image.app" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"> <activity android:name=".map" android:label="@string/app_name" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"> <intent

I want to draw a shape, wherever the user touches the map, the should be drawn dynamically. I don't have any idea about drawing these shapes. How could I achieve this? Can I get this done through canvas? I am using MapFragment. Please see the image, Please give me any idea!! Any help is appreciated!! You can do that by adding a View overlaying the map. have a Polyline object (initially empty) that will be your line handle onTouchEvent on that View translate x,y from events to LatLng using Projection add new point to Polyline And you are done. Note that this consumes all the events that would

How would one fade in and out a GoogleMap marker ? This is how I add a marker to the Map: marker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions() .position(point) .title(title) .snippet(text) .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.marker)) ); MaciejGórski With Google Play services 4.0+ you can use Marker.setAlpha in conjunction with Handler that posts some Runnable every few milliseconds. The code will be similar to my answer here Drop marker slowly from top of screen to location on android map V2 . Just setAlpha instead of setPosition and you are on your way home. A much simpler and cleaner

I have 3 markers on a Google Map. Two Markers to show starting and ending points Here is the code using to draw a Polyline between these two points: private void polyLine() { LatLng starting = new LatLng(##.######, ##.######); LatLng ending = new LatLng(##.######, ##.######); PolylineOptions line = new PolylineOptions().add(starting, ending); mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(starting).title("Start")); mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(ending).title("End")); mGoogleMap.addPolyline(line); } One Marker to show current Location [HUE_ROSE] And to animate marker to
