Is there a way in Android to load KML files from Google Earth into a map widget? Specifically I am looking to load saved shapes created in Google Earth overtop a map widget as easily as possible. Has anybody ever tried this before? It is an old question but this answer might be of some use if someone happens to stumble upon it. Do you mean to add the kml file onto a mapfragment inside an app programmatically? If so, you can use this method. private void loadKml(File file) { try( InputStream inputstream = new FileInputStream(file) ) { // Set kmllayer to map // map is a GoogleMap, context is the

Is it possible to create one KMZ file that is composed of several smaller KMZ files? I would prefer to not have to manually merge the actual KML entities, but I will if that's the only option. A KMZ file can have any number of inner KML files (NOT KMZ files). But the first entry in the KMZ file must be the root KML file (typically named doc.kml ), which may include network links with references to other KML or KMZ files. Several inner KML files, for example, could reference a shared style (in another KML file) via relative URLs. The inner KML files can nest to any level of depth to other KML

Is it possible to embed a GoogleEarth view inside a Java Swing app? If so, could you please point me to a tutorial explaining how to do it? Embedding GoogleEarth inside Java Swing App is not feasible. Legally or otherwise. However you may find a way to embed Google Map on a frame. Edit: Found this google post . There's also NASA's World Wind SDK . Even though technically it is possible (using JXMapViewer), legaly it is not. Google does not allow using Google Maps outside of the browser. One possible solution would be to embed JWebPane ( http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alex2d/archive/JWebPaneJ1

I'm having trouble laying a html div over the Google Earth plugin in a web application, any help would be appreciated. It's fine for Map, Terrain and Hybrid mode, but on ' Earth ' mode, the Flash kicks in and automatically layers the map on top . Z-indexing doesn't help. Presumably I could do something like: document.getElementById('flashDiv').setAttribute('wmode', 'opaque'); but given that Google's stuff is compiled on the fly, it makes it much more difficult. Viewing the generated code hasn't helped here. Again, due to it being compiled on the fly, stuff like SWFObject can't save the day...
