what i need to add for PolylineOptions polyline = new PolylineOptions(); polyline.addAll(geom); polyline.color(defaultStrokeColor).width(defaultWidth); mapObjects.add(polyline); this code to display the arrow head? I have seen other questions/answers about this that use markers and rotate them. But there is a simpler way to have directional arrows on GoogleMap Polylines. The GoogleMap API v2 provides a slick way to do this by adding an " endcap " icon to the PolylineOptions. It takes your input bitmap icon and rotates it in the direction of your Polyline. No markers necessary for the

I've googled around a bit, and still can't find a definite answer to this. What is the current "best" or "recommended" way of using Google Maps in Android? I want my application to use the blue dot that automatically keeps track of the user's location, much like the Maps app does when you click on the "my location" button. Some of this functionality seems to come built in just by using the map, however, I'm unsure how to extract the Location from this, as I've read .getMyLocation() is deprecated? What is the best way to do this? I am using this code: //get locationManager object from System

I have a google map in a fragment in my application. Funny thing is that the map loads, but the logcat displays a NullPointerException , and I only noticed it when tried to update the camera on the map so that it could automatically zoom in on the marker . Only then the map will crash. Otherwise, the map loads fine in the fragment but with no marker (even though I am adding one using my current gps location ).

Let the other keys in the manifest and 'maps_activites.xml. be the android API key 3. Enable the following APIS on Google Developer APIS: Google Maps Android API Google Places API for Android Google Places API Web Service 4. BOOM! It worked. Here's the code to my github repository in any case: https://github.com/bholagabbar/AurumHealthApp I am trying to retrieve the nearest restaurants from my current location. I am using the code I found online here .

Question Description, Please read this first I am trying to get my simple app which will display user's location running on devices from Android 2.3 to Android 4.0+ devices. The map does not show up on a real Android 2.3 device. The app currently can run and show maps as I desired on Android 4.0+ device without any problem. Because it can display maps without any problem on Android 4.0+, so I presume the problem should not be anything wrong with the settings or permissions of Google Maps V2. However when I try it on Android 2.3 devices, the map area will be a blank like the screen shot shown
