B4J Library jSD_OpenMaps

As many currently know GoogleMaps' Webapi do not work correctly on the webview because the latest versions use webgl

I decided to do a new library that uses OpenMap and Leaflet with the same methods and events of the Googlemaps library. I also created a second OpenMapext class that adds some GoogleMapsExt commands to maintain compatibility and minimize changes to the existing code. The code we used with GMAPS with Javaobject to obtain extra functions is no longer usable. Tested with Java 19,

B4i and B4i version here

The demo has started to work again, but with only some of the tiles partially appearing...

I am starting to think it might be a server issue. I will try again later...

 

[aminoacid]

Well that is good news - it might only be a localized issue.

I also wondered if the HTTP User-Agent was set incorrectly causing me to be blocked. I read on the OSM tile usage policy here that:

• Faking another app’s User-Agent WILL get you blocked. Using a library’s default User-Agent is NOT recommended as they may be blocked if another user of the library is misusing it. If a device automatically sends an X-Requested-With header with an application specific Application ID, this will be considered an acceptable substitute for the HTTP User-Agent, although we still recommend setting a valid HTTP User-Agent for the application.

In any case I will investigate if it possible to specify the user-agent, as I think it is set to null at the moment.

Yes. Now I remember having a similar issue a while ago using Leaflet with OSM in a JavaScript webapp. Unfortunately I don't remember how I resolved it - but I do remember that it was very easy to do.

 

[aminoacid]

Once thing I really like about OpenMaps as compared to GoogleMaps is that the Gulf of Mexico is still the Gulf of Mexico (although they did fold a bit and put Gulf of America in parens below it)

Sorry, but I just had to point that out!!

 

[aminoacid]

I'm pretty sure it can be set in Leaflet. So maybe @Star-Dust could consider including that in a future version.
The great news is that maps are working again here - must have simply been a tile server issue somewhere

Yes... I'm looking for an old project where we did just that. If I manage to find it, I'll post it here. But it will probably have to be included in the library.

 

[Star-Dust]

Good morning,

Please don't crowd the thread otherwise I can't distinguish useful things for development. I go into translation and sometimes I take a long time to understand what it is written, it would be useful to me if you write in the need.

When the map does not appear it could be OpenMaps that blocks the IP.
If by clicking on this link the image does not appear then you have a problem with the Internet, the site is not reachable. If the image appears then OpenMaps has limited the IP, change IP or use a proxy and you will see everything again as before.

Good morning - I see an image of a Blue square. Should I change IP address?
I will be sure not to crowd the thread.

So I am converting my existing GoogleMaps Application to OpenMaps. Right now in my GoogleMaps Application I have:

Private Pane1 As Pane
Pane1.AddNode(gmap.AsPane, 0, 0, -1, -1) 'Add Map to Panel

Since "AsPane" is not supported in OpenMaps, I replace it with "mBase" as you suggest:

Pane1.AddNode(gmap.mBase, 0, 0, -1, -1) 'Add Map to Panel

But I get the following error on the above line:

WARNING: package com.sun.javafx.embed.swing.oldimpl not in javafx.swing
Waiting for debugger to connect...
Program started.
Read Configuration File Success
Error occurred on line: 200 (Main)
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "Object.getClass()" because "obj" is null

To replace AsPane, in any case openamaps must be inserted in a layout, it could be in the main. And then you use this code to release it from Main and hook it in any panel

GMap.mBase.RemoveViewFromParent
Form1.RootPane.AddNode(GMap.mBase,10,10,100,100)

If you don't want to insert it in the main. Create a layout, call it 'Openampas' and put the view anchored to the corners
Then with this code you will get the base to add to your panel.

Private Sub AsPane As B4XView
    Dim Pn As B4XView
    Pn.LoadLayout("openampas")
    Return Pn.GetView(0)
End Sub
'---- CODE ---
    Form1.RootPane.AddNode(AsPane,10,10,100,100)

I still cannot get a map to display anymore. As this is a problem that only I am having, so I'm go to abandon it for now. As @Star-Dust correctly points out, it is not relevant to others here.
UPDATE: This was automatically resolved after 24 hours had elapsed. I guess I was 'blocked' for hammering the tile server too hard during my extensive testing.

 

[Star-Dust]

I still cannot get a map to display anymore. I have tried:

• 2 different internet service providers
• 3 different IP address
• 5 different computers (up until yesterday these all worked perfectly)
• No map visible using the B4J map demonstration
• No maps accessible on my app anymore
• The test link shows a blue tile in all these cases.

As this is a problem that only I am having, so I'm go to abandon it for now. As @Star-Dust correctly points out, it is not relevant to others on this. Instead I may open a separate question in another thread to seek assistance later.

osm if it receives too many requests at the same time to avoid overcrowding it blocks the requests. next week i will see if using different maps is better

As this is a problem that only I am having, so I'm go to abandon it for now. As @Star-Dust correctly points out, it is not relevant to others on this. Instead I may open a separate question in another thread to seek assistance later.

Something similar is happening to me today. This morning no problems, now: sometimes the program crashes, other times the map is blank.

I added a function that can change the tiles in the event that OpenTreeMaps failed and you can switch to ESI or Cartodb

Your library continues to impress me, Star-Dust. It is extremely stable, and my B4J app is using it very effectively—thanks to your exceptional effort.

I have received valuable end-user feedback and would like to suggest three improvements for future consideration:

1. Remove Hyperlinks in the Attribution Panel
   In the bottom-right corner of the map display, there is an attribution panel partially shown. Could you remove the hyperlinks to Leaflet and Google? When users click on them, it can lead to unpredictable results.
2. Preserve Map Elements When Changing the Base Layer
   Currently, when a user switches the map’s base layer (Normal, Terrain, Satellite, or Hybrid), all existing polygons and markers disappear. Would it be possible to place these elements on a separate layer so that they remain visible when the base layer changes?
3. Restrict Excessive Panning to Prevent Unrealistic Longitudes
   Users can pan too far left or right, resulting in excessively large longitude values. Could you implement a limit to prevent map panning beyond a reasonable longitude range?

Thank you again for your outstanding work—your library has been invaluable to my project!

I did not understand point 3

I did not understand point 3

Here's an example to help explain it better:
If you zoom all the way out, you see many views of the world.
Scroll left (or right) a lot, then zoom back in.
The Gmap_MouseMove event now reports incorrect longitude values.

Hi, I don't know if this is interesting to you or if it's part of your plans...

In an app, I create many markers (hydrants), but to avoid overloading the map, depending on the zoom, I only make visible those within the visible map boundaries. For this, I need the Bounds function, and I also need the marker's visible property to not be read-only.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself correctly. I'll include an image and part of the code...

'''    If GMap.IsReady = True Then
'''        LatLngB = GMap.Bounds    'Visible region bounds
'''        Log( "Norte " & LatLngB.NorthEast & " SUR   " & LatLngB.SouthWest)
'''        Dim DeltaX As Double = LatLngB.NorthEast.Lat - LatLngB.SouthWest.Lat
'''        Dim DeltaY As Double = LatLngB.NorthEast.Longitude - LatLngB.SouthWest.Longitude
'''    End If
'''
'''    If newzoom <= 14 Then 'Con un zoom lejano, oculta todos los marcadores
'''        Dim cursorHidra As ResultSet
''''        cursorHidra = SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT rowid,idMarcador, identificador FROM markerHidra WHERE idMarcador <> 0")
''''        cursorHidra = SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT rowid FROM hidrantes ")
'''        cursorHidra = SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT rowid FROM hidrantes")
'''        Do While cursorHidra.NextRow
'''            If MiHidrante(cursorHidra.GetString("rowid")).IsInitialized = True Then
'''                MiHidrante(cursorHidra.GetString("rowid")).Visible = False
'''            End If
'''        Loop
'''        cursorHidra.Close
'''    End If
''' 
''' 
'''    If newzoom > 14 Then
'''        Dim cursorHidra As ResultSet
''''        (Y - " & LatLngB.SouthWest.Lat &") < "& DeltaX &" AND  (X - "& LatLngB.SouthWest.Longitude &")  <"& DeltaY &")"
''''        cursor = SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT rowid,ID, X, Y, TIPO, POBLACION FROM hidrantes WHERE (Y - " & LatLngB.SouthWest.Lat &") < "& DeltaX &" AND  (X - ("& LatLngB.SouthWest.Longitude &"))  <"& DeltaY &"")
'''        cursorHidra = SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT rowid FROM hidrantes WHERE (Y - " & LatLngB.SouthWest.Latitude &") < "& DeltaX &" AND  (X - ("& LatLngB.SouthWest.Longitude &"))  <"& DeltaY)
'''
'''        Do While cursorHidra.NextRow
'''            If MiHidrante(cursorHidra.GetString("rowid")).IsInitialized = True Then
'''                MiHidrante(cursorHidra.GetString("rowid")).Visible = True
'''            End If
'''        Loop
'''        cursorHidra.Close
'''    End If

Sorry, the markers are displayed too large...the image I'm using in this case is a 16x16 pixel PNG file. I've tried changing it to 8x8, but the result is the same...

Would love to see the capability to add a label to a marker by implementing SetMarkerLabel, RemoveMarkerLabel, GetMarkerLabel in OpenMapsExt

In leaflet you could use L.tooltip to create a standalone label instead of binding it to a marker. That would be the same as adding a label to a marker that is always visible:

var tooltip = L.tooltip()
    .setLatLng(latlng)
    .setContent('A sweet static label!')
    .addTo(map);

Hi, I can't remove some markers from the map. For example, I create them like this...

Sub CargaHidrantes
    Private MiHidrante(10)  As Marker
    
    MiHidrante(0) = OMaps.AddMarker2(pt(48.8575703, 2.292737).lat, pt(48.8575703, 2.292737).lng, "Hidrante" , File.GetUri(File.DirAssets,"H.png"))
    MiHidrante(1) = OMaps.AddMarker2(pt(48.8561703, 2.293637).lat, pt(48.8561703, 2.293637).lng, "Hidrante" , File.GetUri(File.DirAssets,"H.png"))
    MiHidrante(3) = OMaps.AddMarker2(pt(48.8561703, 2.291837).lat,pt(48.8561703, 2.291837).lng, "Hidrante" , File.GetUri(File.DirAssets,"H.png"))


End Sub

When I change the camera position and the zoom is less than 14, I use the following code to delete them... but it doesn't!

Private Sub OMaps_CameraChange (CamPosition As CameraPosition)
    LabelLat.Text=CamPosition.lat
    LabelLon.Text=CamPosition.lNG
    LabelZoom.Text=CamPosition.Zoom
    
    If OMaps.Zoom < 14 Then
        For i=0 To 3

            If MiHidrante(i).IsInitialized = True Then
                Log(i)
                OMaps.RemoveMarker(MiHidrante(i))
            End If
        Next
    End If
End Sub

Yes it is a bug, known.

When you insert the Markers you must put a pause of at least 20 milliseconds between one and the other especially when it is inside a cycle so that in its internal table all the marks are inserted correctly. subsequently the deletion will happen as expected.

The bug will be solved in the next versions
