HI, All
Any ideas how to make a floor plan, map ? And later to show it with scaling\scrolling over the mobile screen.

You could possibly wrap it in a webview.

maybe try a demo if exists from here.

creating a real floor map is not easy, it needs much and exact measurements.
you start by entire surface and then adding a room outline.
on this outline u can add/move doors and windows. (mouse point & line intersect)
i would make it with some classes. add room add wall add door add window.
each object needs a sub for selecting it, moving selected, delete selected,add something, etc.
each object can paint itself into canvas.
each object have it properties and/or sub objects in a list.
scrolling (translate) would be just add a x,y value to all x,y position temporary.
scaling would be just multiply a value to all x,y values.

Hi, All
I meant ideas how to do it by B4A (B4X)
not by commercial ready services.
Do we have tools to show some custom maps ? That should be created by some additional app-creator.
My idea now is https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/xui2d-x2tilemap-tiled-maps.95508/ and maybe some viewer...
But maybe is there better ideas ?

How ? What file format ?
UPD: FOUND https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/indoormap.66428/#content
Wow ! What functions did you test, excepting simple testdata map run ? As i can see - many functions.
Did navigation work during move ?
@DonManfred, thanks for this lib ! Did you test navigation itself ?
TYPE_ORIENTATION is depricated. THis lib cannot be used for API level 20+

Maybe you can use OSMDROID (MapView) - version 4. No version 3.TYPE_ORIENTATION is depricated. THis lib cannot be used for API level 20+

You can use raster and vector (polygons, lines, points) datas with OSMDROID (MapView) - and you can link these datas with external database and pictures.
Here is the example of the offline map app:

I think this map app is a little idea also for floor building map.
If you need also coordinates (WGS) you should have (GPS) "TYPE_ORIENTATION" sensor. But you can use also Geomagnetic sensor.
"TYPE_ORIENTATION" is better than Geomagnetic.
But GPS in Building ? I do not know.
