I am developing an app using Fused Location Provider. I have a doubt. For getting location in regular intervals it uses requestLocationUpdates(). But from which source is it get the location either from WIFI or GPS or Network. In my app, it gets location in regular intervals only when WiFi is ON. When WiFi is in OFF state, then it can't get the location(it supposed to get location from some other source either form GPS or Network. But it never get location. Or i have to write listeners for GPS and Network). I don't know what is the problem. Can anyone help me. And, whether it works only when

In the original version of the Android Google Maps API it was very easy to implement an overlay with the following code: List<Overlay> mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays(); AlarmOverlay alarmOverlay = new AlarmOverlay(); mapOverlays.add(alarmOverlay); ...it was then possible to override the overlays draw() method and paint vector graphics, override the overlays onTouchEvent() method and give custom controls, etc. I am at a loss as to how to architect similar custom controls in v2, as the use-case for overlays is not mentioned in the API reference (and markers and polygons are not enough). Does

Currently migrating an Android app using Google Maps to Google Maps Android v2; I want the map to display the built-in location marker, as well as custom markers. With the previous library, I used to draw the location marker 'below' custom markers, with mapView.setReticleDrawMode(ReticleDrawMode.DRAW_RETICLE_UNDER); I can't find a similar option in the new API. Did I miss something? After a bit a searching, I couldn't find such an option. I finally removed the location pin, and added a similar Marker and Circle to the map; since it is a classic Marker, it appears below the other markers. map

I am using the Google Map Android clustering Utitlity With Google Maps v2 play services. I am not getting the behavior I expected. As you can see in the two images below, when zoomed in I can see a cluster of 20 and a single marker up an to the left, but when i zoom out til they are on top of each other i am not seeing them cluster.. the 20 cluster still says 20 and not 21?

I want to draw the route between two Location. I used the retrofit library to call the API. I didn't get any response. I need the polyline in an ArrayList. How i do that?

I want to use a layout and not a drawable for my marker I am using with Google Maps Api 2 for an Android app. Like this: Marker m = googleMap .addMarker(new MarkerOptions() .position(LOC) .snippet(user) .title(name) .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.layout.map_marker))); However, it seems this is only designed for use from drawable folder. I simply what an image with a background where I can change colors based on marker type. This is the layout I want to use: <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width

Google Maps offers for a few months the feature to download a certain geographic region for later offline use. I use Google Maps Android API in my App and I see that while offline, in contrast to the real google maps app, I cannot zoom in to street level in my App fully, so the downloaded data is probably not used. Is there a way for my app to make use of it? abielita You need to create your own TileProvider and access tiles locally. Check this documentation .
