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:

• BitmapDescriptor
• BitmapDescriptorFactory
• Circle
• CircleOptions
• GroundOverlay
• InfoWindowAdapter
• MarkerOptions
• Point
• Projection
• OnInfoWindowClickListener
• OnMarkerDragListener
• OnMyLocationChangeListener
• Polygon
• TileOverlay
• VisibleRegion

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

Martin.

Markers are always on top of others layers
zindex of the markers is defined by latitude. Lower latitude ==> greater zindex.

Is there any way to detect all necessary tiles have been loaded after you fire the AnimateCamera3 method?

https://developers.google.com/andro...ndroid/gms/maps/GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback

GoogleMapsExtras has a method:

SetOnMapLoadedCallback (GoogleMap1 As GoogleMap, OnMapLoadedCallback1 As OnMapLoadedCallback)
Sets a callback that's invoked when the map has finished rendering.

Martin,

Many thanks - after running up a few dead ends of my own creation I was eventually able to work out how to detect completion of camera animation and map rendering.

Not sure whether this is a Google Maps or Google Maps Extra question...

If there any way to determine the screen dimensions of a Google Map marker - i.e. a "standard" marker as created by the AddMarker or AddMarker2 methods?

Thanks in anticipation...

Not that i know of.
The Marker, BitmapDescriptor and BitmapDescriptorFactory don't have any methods to get the icon dimensions.

how to get current lat,lon from this library?

 

[Erel]

GoogleMap.MyLocation returns the current location.

 

[Leni Berry]

GoogleMap.MyLocation returns the current location.

tq erel, solved...

i put gmap.MyLocationEnabled=True, and then waiting with timer_tick until gmap.MyLocation.IsInitialized=True

if gmap.MyLocation.IsInitialized=True then

latnya=gmap.MyLocation.Latitude
longnya=gmap.MyLocation.Longitude

end if

Hi, i have a problem. I would like the user to draw a polygon clicking on the screen and when the polygon "closes" a dialog appear. I only can draw polygons sending the points "hardcoded". How can the user draw a polygon by clicken? Is there any example?
Thanks

 

[Almora]

I solved the problem.

@warwound

can you add other method/events like :

setOnGroundOverlayClickListener
OnCameraIdleListener
OnGroundOverlayClickListener
OnIndoorStateChangeListener

Thanks in advance

setOnGroundOverlayClickListener

Where did you get this ? It is not listed on https://developer.android.com
Same for OnCameraIdleListener, OnGroundOverlayClickListener

Only the OnIndoorStateChangeListener is listed there...

[DonManfred]

The search on the developer site does not work good then i guess...

I tried to search for all of them but only found one

I get an error when i try to compile this:

Dim OnMyLocationChangeListener1 As OnMyLocationChangeListener
    OnMyLocationChangeListener1.Initialize("OnMyLocationChangeListener1")
    gmapextras.SetOnMyLocationChangeListener(gmap, OnMyLocationChangeListener1)

gmapextras.SetOnMyLocationChangeListener(gmap, On
javac 1.8.0_25
src\the\walk\home.java:458: error: cannot find symbol
mostCurrent._gmapextras.SetOnMyLocationChangeListener((com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap)(mostCurrent._gmap.getObject()),(com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener)(_onmylocationchangelistener1.getObject()));
^
symbol: class google
location: class com

i use the "new" googlemap library from here:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-maps.63930/

 

[Erel]

Does it compile properly without these lines?

 

[Blueforcer]

yep. the app works without errors then

 

[Blueforcer]

It seems that every GooglemapExtra function failed with this error.
same with

gmapextras.SetBuildingsEnabled(gmap,True)

and i tested it with a completly new project, and there it works. but i dont see the mistake...

-same librariea in both projects
- same manifest

 

[Erel]

Do you have a class or module named com?

 

[Blueforcer]

wow...really? xD
yes i have.....thanks i will try it later
