Google Maps v2 - B4A programming guide?

[PaulD]

I apologize as I am a total :sign0104:

I have been reading everything I can find within the community and on Google's development documentation site... however the same strings of code that are on the Google site, do not seem to work within B4A... am I missing something?

i.e.

According to this page, I can change the "Icon" to anything I want, however copying the code into B4A only gives me errors...

I guess my real question is, does a list of commands that work with B4A exist with an explanation of what they do?

The B4A code is:

gmap.AddMarker(38.7522, -121.2869, "Hello!!!")

The code on Google is:

mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(0, 0))
.title("Hello!!!"));

On the Google documentation page, simple code like .icon() won't work in B4A

?????
Please help me understand what I am doing wrong...

Thank you in advance for helping out such a noob...

You cannot write Java code in Basic4android.
The relevant tutorial is available here:
Google Maps Android v2 tutorial
You can see the available methods here:
Basic4android - GoogleMaps

The Basic4android - GoogleMaps is Exactly what I was looking for... thank you!

for some reason I am just not getting this line...

AddMarker2 (Lat As Double, Lon As Double, Title As String, HueColor As Float) As Marker

I wrote,

gmap.AddMarker2(38, -121, "Blue Marker", HUE_BLUE As Float)

Obviously "Blue Marker" is the title and can be anything I want... where I am having an issue is setting the color of the marker... what should that code look like???

 

[Erel]

It should be:

gmap.AddMarker2(38, -121, "Blue Marker", gmap.HUE_BLUE)
