android-maps-v2

I'm trying to explore using the MapView class for GoogleMap display, with no luck, as most codes examples are using MapFragment which I do not want. I am using Google Maps Android API v2. At first, just for testing with here from Google's example , I managed to get the typical normal map to display. public class POnlineMapView extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.online_map_activity); } } The code above works perfectly which show that everything has been set up properly. I am now trying to

I'm trying to put an instance of the new MapView in a ListView. New mapview being: com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView I'm turning all interactions off, and setting a fixed height for the view: GoogleMapOptions options = new GoogleMapOptions(); options.mapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL); options.compassEnabled(false); options.rotateGesturesEnabled(false); options.scrollGesturesEnabled(false); options.tiltGesturesEnabled(false); options.zoomControlsEnabled(false); options.zoomGesturesEnabled(false); mMapView = new MapView(getActivity(), options); mMapView.setLayoutParams(new AbsListView

i am currently trying to implement an ActionBar-Button that on usage sets all my markers on my GoogleMap-object visible or invisible. My problem is that i don't know how i can get a reference to all my markers once they have been created and are shown on my map. Im looking for a solution where i stash all my marker-objects into an array, that i can access in other parts of my code aswell. is this approach reasonable? here is what i am thinking of: private Marker[] mMarkerArray = null; for (int i = 0; i < MainActivity.customers.size(); i++) { LatLng location = new LatLng(mData.lat, mData.lng);

I am adding a custom marker to the android map view. here is the image I am using for it.It looks like as more markers are placed say about 100 the entire app is getting slow. Here is the image I am using for that. Instead of using this image, I am planning to draw this image as a shape in XML. How to do that? Also I am following this tutorial to display a custom marker. Is this custom drawing delaying the app? Whats the best way to do it? It's possible, but looks like does not make sense. Because Google Map requires only bitmap. So you need create bitmap and draw your shape with help of

I have a map view for android maps api v2 in an activity that uses this sliding menu https://github.com/iPaulPro/SlidingMenu . The sliding menu works great except for on the map page. There is a black view covering the sliding menu that is the exact size of the map. This is an example with the map height set at 100dp to outline what I mean. If I touch that view it will go away. How would I get rid of it or make it transparent? I've tried the requestTransparentRegion() trick. No dice there. smokingoyster Found this stack overflow post ViewPager with Google Maps API v2: mysterious black view and

Hi Im making a server request and when I received the request from server, I'm executing on Ui Thread a ClusterManager.addItem() but this items are not painting in the map, only when I make a zoom update (+,-) are showing. Also, I tried to debug the renderer, but onBeforeClusterRendered / onBeforeClusterItemRendered are not called until I update the zoom in map. Any ideas how to refresh map/clusterManager/markers? MarkerManager markerManager = new MarkerManager(map); clusterManager = new ClusterManager<TweetClusterItem>(getActivity(), map, markerManager); clusterManager.setRenderer(new

I am using android maps v2works fine I can add and remove markers onLong Touch on locations. Problem: I would like to drop the marker slowly into the touched location i.e. I want the user to see the marker floating from the top of the screen to the point where it is dropped(touched location). Currently; the marker just appears on the touched location such that you have to lift you finger to see that it has been dropped. It would be nice to see it coming from the top of the screen. Thanks. You can achieve this with a code similar to this (untested): final LatLng target = ...; final long

I'm trying to know if a given marker is inside a circle radius. In javascript, i can do something like: google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(latLngCircleCenter, latLngPoint); But in android, using maps-v2, i'm stucked. Otuyh After a lot of research, i found a very simple solution: float[] distance = new float[2]; Location.distanceBetween( marker.getPosition().latitude, marker.getPosition().longitude, circle.getCenter().latitude, circle.getCenter().longitude, distance); if( distance[0] > circle.getRadius() ){ Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Outside", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
