google-maps-android-api-2

I am setting: map.setMyLocationEnabled(true) But I am wondering what this really does. What I know: I get a locate me button in the upper right corner of the map I get a blue icon on the map that represents my current location Here is my concern. I am writing a location aware app but I am concerned about battery. Elsewhere in my app (via preferences) I set up a LocationManager and listen for location events so I can log them. But part of my preferences is the accuracy at which I get updates and the interval. When I turn off my LocationManager: locationManange.removeUpdates(LocationListener

drawPath() is used to draw polyloine on map. public void drawPath(String result){ try { final JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result); JSONArray routeArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("routes"); JSONObject routes = routeArray.getJSONObject(0); JSONObject overviewPolylines = routes.getJSONObject("overview_polyline"); String encodedString = overviewPolylines.getString("points"); String statusString = jsonObject.getString("status"); Log.d("test: ", encodedString); List<LatLng> list = decodePoly(encodedString); LatLng last = null; for (int i = 0; i < list.size()-1; i++) { LatLng src = list

I'm trying to display the current location of the user on the google map inside my app but I don't want to keep updating the location as the user moves. His initial location should be recorded and showed until he closes the app. I have written the following code for this: private GoogleMap mMap; protected GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient; Location mLastLocation; double lat =0, lng=0; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_map); buildGoogleApiClient(); // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified

My goal is to have multiple markers with text on each on the Android Google Maps API v2 map. The info windows approach (showInfoWindow()) is not suitable, because only one info window is displayed at a time. For example I want to have something like this: As you can see each marker has its own data (number for this example) displayed all the time. How can I achieve this with Android Google Maps API v2 ? to do that you'll have to customize the icon of each individual marker to be what you need. Here's the link: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/marker#customize_a_marker

i have a huge memory problem in my app. i am using google map api v2 with ClusterManager and custom markers. i supply an image via call to markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(bitmap)); for each marker based on its category. the problem is: after several screen rotations my app crashes because of OOM error: 05-14 11:04:12.692 14020-30201/rokask.rideabike E/art﹕ Throwing OutOfMemoryError "Failed to allocate a 4194316 byte allocation with 1627608 free bytes and 1589KB until OOM" 05-14 11:04:12.722 14020-30201/rokask.rideabike E/AndroidRuntime﹕ FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 19179

I want to remove a current marker after long click on map anywhere and recreate a new marker at that point. I have cleared google map on long click on map and new marker is created but the previous marker also displayed. My Code is: public class EditLocation extends Fragment { View v; Context c; GoogleMap MAP; Button back; int loc; String lat; boolean isTapped = true; public EditLocation(Context c, int location, String latitude) { // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub this.c = c; this.loc = location; this.lat = latitude; } @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup

I am new to Android development. I am learning to use Parse.com backend service and get stuck early on. I am following tutorial to create application that uses Google Maps Android API v2 .
