B4A Library GoogleMapsExtras

GoogleMapsExtras is an ongoing project to implement more of the Google Maps Android v2 classes in Basic4Android.

Currently the library allows you to create these objects:

Tutorials for each object will be uploaded to the Google Maps Android v2 tutorial thread.

Martin.

Yes this did the trick. Map looks correct. I think mapsforge determine tile size according to device. Maybe instead of displayModel = new FixedTileSizeDisplayModel(TILE_SIZE); we need to create displayModel = new DisplayModel(); and not set tile size explicite. But i don't know java and mapsforge lib :(

That's great that we have a solution, now i'll think of the best way to make the tile size into a property of the MapsforgeTileProviderOptions.

Hi,
I'm trying to work with wms server via CustomUrlTileProvider. All work great until i try this adress:
B4X:
http://integracja.gugik.gov.pl/cgi-bin/KrajowaIntegracjaEwidencjiGruntow?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=powiaty,powiaty_obreby,ekw,regon,pesel,zsin,obreby,dzialki,geoportal,numery_dzialek,budynki&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&FORMAT=image/png&BBOX=18.08074951171875,52.07781801208549,18.08349609375,52.079506003796965&styles=
This WMS server uses redirections and finally get image from:
B4X:
https://konin.geoportal2.pl/map/geoportal/wms.php?LAYERS=dzialki,budynki&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&FORMAT=image/png&STYLES=,&HEIGHT=256&VERSION=1.1.1&SRS=EPSG:2180&WIDTH=256&BBOX=437022.374350923,468358.349568826,437212.163431718,468547.668771142&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml.
This second adress i see in browser after redirect from first - i think that there is more than one redirection.
Is it possible that CustomUrlTileProvider don't accept redirections?

Regards

Thank you for response. Very strange problem. I made more tests and i'm almost sure that problem comes from redirections or some weird WMS server configurations. Thanks again.

Morning, I need a littel hand here:

I am doing my 1st steps with the GoogleMapsExtras library and I ran prompt into a problem :(

assuming I draw a circle on the map like this:

B4X:
Dim co As CircleOptions
co.Initialize
co.Center2(0, 0).Radius(spnRadius.SelectedItem).FillColor(Colors.ARGB(90,158,0,255)).StrokeColor(Colors.ARGB(126,158,0,204)).StrokeWidth(3)
Dim Circle1 As Circle
Circle1 = gmapExtra.AddCircle(gmap, co)
Log(Circle1.Id) ' show me the circle id
Circle1.Remove ' remove the circle - redraw the map?
Log(Circle1.Id) ' should raise an exception as the circle is gone?

how can I remove the circle, using
B4X:
Circle1.Remove
does not work

can somebody explain what I am doing wrong or how to do it ?


THX

Hi,
Is it possible to customize the InfoWindow that is displayed? Like changing the color, border radius, etc.
Thank you!

Hello
Why I cannot remove Circle? what is the code ? "gmapExtra.Remove" is wrong.
Thank you

Code:
Private gmapExtra As GoogleMapsExtras
Private co As CircleOptions

'Add Circle'
    co.Initialize
    co.Center2(Lati, Longi).Radius(3000).FillColor(Colors.ARGB(50,50,220,125)).StrokeColor(Colors.Black)
    gmapExtra.AddCircle(gmap, co)
    
'And now Remove Circle'   
    gmapExtra.Remove

A simple b4a project that loads a KML file from file assets - works for me though the web based infowindow content of the KML is a fail!

B4X:
#Region  Project Attributes
   #ApplicationLabel: Android Maps Utils
   #VersionCode: 1
   #VersionName:
   'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
   #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
   #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
   '   GoogleMaps additional jar
   #AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
   #FullScreen: False
   #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals

End Sub

Sub Globals
   Dim GoogleMap1 As GoogleMap
   Dim MapFragment1 As MapFragment
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("Main")
  
   If Not(MapFragment1.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable) Then
     Log("Google Play Services is not available")
     ToastMessageShow("Google Play Services is not available", False)
   End If
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub MapFragment1_Ready
   Log("MapFragment1_Ready")
   GoogleMap1=MapFragment1.GetMap
   If GoogleMap1.IsInitialized Then
     Dim CameraPosition1 As CameraPosition
     CameraPosition1.Initialize(52.7523, 0.4049, 10)
     GoogleMap1.AnimateCamera(CameraPosition1)
    
     Dim KMLLayer1 As KMLLayer
     KMLLayer1.Initialize(GoogleMap1, File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets, "75116131-1-KML0.simple.kml"))
     KMLLayer1.AddLayerToMap
    
     If KMLLayer1.HasContainers Then
       Dim Containers As List=KMLLayer1.GetContainers
       '   TODO
     End If
    
     If KMLLayer1.HasPlacemarks Then
       Dim Placemarks As List=KMLLayer1.GetPlacemarks
       '   TODO
     End If
    
   Else
     Log("Error initializing GoogleMap")
     ToastMessageShow("Error initializing GoogleMap", False)
   End If
End Sub

I'll attach this first version of my library, the simple demo project and a temporary updated version of GoogleMapsExtras for you all to have a look at.

I shall release a proper update to GoogleMapsExtras over the next week - if you want to try AndroidMapsUtils and use the MarkerOptions object then overwrite you current GoogleMapsExtras jar and xml files with the temporary ones.

@DonManfred
Thanks a lot, once i found the latest version of the play services jar i was able to get SLC to work.
Let's liase later in the week to turn this into a shared collaboration.

Martin.

This error means that the library needs to be jetified (Tools - Jetify libraries).
I tried running Tools - Jetifier (AndroidX) - Jetify libraries but it didn't fix the "Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v4/util/LruCache; " error
Coud you please help me !

Bạn có thấy thư viện KML trong danh sách các thư viện sẽ bị hủy bỏ không? Lưu ý rằng các thư viện nội bộ sẽ không bị kiểm duyệt.

Did you see the KML library in the list of libraries that will be jetified? Note that internal libraries will not be jetified.
Yes, i see
