Android Question Creating Tiles to use them in a TileProvider on GoogleMap

[DonManfred]

Hello,

i am in the need to display Offizial GeoTIFFs on a GoogleMap.

I am able to create the Tiles with MapTiler (Windowssoftware) but this software is not Free (or limited in the Free Version).

So i was searching for an Alternative. I did find this:
https://alastaira.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/maptiler-gdal2tiles-and-raster-resampling/

So I’ve been using MapTiler to create some quick raster tilesets from a set of GeoTIFF images. MapTiler is a Windows application that will reproject and cut any GDAL-supported datasource into a set of 256px x 256px image tiles, suitable for use as a custom tile layer in Google Maps or Bing Maps et al.

MapTiler is essentially just a GUI wrapper around the GDAL2Tiles.py python script, which is distributed as part of GDAL.

So i thought i should give it a try. I installed GDAL and all needed tools.

NOTE that i got it working using the Tiles created with MapTiler. All the Tiles matches the Path-structure needed: \[zoom]\[tileX]\[tileY].png

A lot of tools to try.

I am able to create a Tileset with

gdal_translate –of vrt –expand rgba tq38sw.tif tq38sw_rgba.vrt

followed by

gdal2tiles -z 1-21 –s_srs EPSG:25832 tq38sw_rgba.vrt E:\GeoTIFFS\Export\

I got a Directorystructure created in E:\GeoTIFFS\Export\ which should match

E:\GeoTIFFS\Export\[zoom]\[tileX]\[tileY].png

Up to E:\GeoTIFFS\Export\[zoom]\[tileX]\ the result matches the Output i got using MapTiler.
But for the tileY (which represents the Filename of the png) i got different results using MapTiler and gdal2tiles

You can download both Sets here if you want to have a look.

For example i compared two Tiles.
Zoom 17, TileX 67765, TileY is
43942.png in MapTiler


and 87129.png in gdal2tiles



Does anybody have an Idea how i could create the same posY tile-name with the Pythonvariant?

Or maybe there is a formular to convert 43942 to 87129. I dont know why i get different results.


I am using Warwounds TileProvider from GoogleMapExtra

Sub TileProv_GetTileUrl(TileX As Int, TileY As Int, Zoom As Int) As String
    Log($"TileProv_GetTileUrl(${TileX}, ${TileY}, Zoom ${Zoom})"$)
   
    Dim tileurl As String = $"http://basic4android.de/tiles/${Zoom}/${TileX}/${TileY}.png"$
    Return tileurl
End Sub
Sub MapFragment1_Ready
    Log("MapReady()")
    gmap = MapFragment1.GetMap

    Dim mextra As GoogleMapsExtras
   
    Dim prov As CustomUrlTileProvider
    prov.Initialize("TileProv",256,256)
   
    Dim tileovlopt As TileOverlayOptions
    tileovlopt.Initialize
    tileovlopt.SetTileProvider(prov)
   
    mextra.AddTileOverlay(gmap,tileovlopt)
   
    ' merkstein 50.889222,6.0955466
   
    'Dim m1 As Marker = gmap.AddMarker(50.889222,6.0955466, "test")
    Dim latlon As LatLng
    latlon.Initialize(50.889222,6.0955466)
    Dim cp As CameraPosition
    cp.Initialize(latlon.Latitude, latlon.Longitude, 17) ' Use own location LAT LON
    gmap.AnimateCamera(cp)

   
End Sub

Any hints is appreciated

Dammit... It was easier than i thought.
I did created another TileProvider in java

    public TileProvider GetTileprovider(GoogleMap gmap) {
        TileProvider tileProvider = new UrlTileProvider(256, 256) {
      @Override
      public synchronized URL getTileUrl(int x, int y, int zoom) {
          // The moon tile coordinate system is reversed.  This is not normal.
          int reversedY = (1 << zoom) - y - 1;
          String s = String.format(Locale.GERMAN, MAP_URL_FORMAT, zoom, x, reversedY);
                // Event only informative... This method is returning the URL used to GoogleMaps
          ba.raiseEventFromDifferentThread(this, null, 0, eventName + "_tileurl", true, new Object[] {x,reversedY,zoom,s});
          URL url = null;
          try {
              url = new URL(s);
          } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
              throw new AssertionError(e);
          }
          return url;
      }
        };
        return tileProvider;   
    }

and added it with mapextras

    Dim tileovlopt As TileOverlayOptions
    tileovlopt.Initialize
    tileovlopt.SetTileProvider(vh.GetTileprovider(gmap))
    mextra.AddTileOverlay(gmap,tileovlopt)

The tileprovider is now using the same Tile-Structure i got using gdal2tiles
