Android Question notification when approaching to a place

[Mr Blue Sky]

I want a notification when approaching my marker approach to a place the marker radius is 250 meter

The place are actually stored to place.kml and i use already Google maps v2 - GoogleMapsExtras in MapFragment and creating one monitoring geofences

if a good soul can help me !

it's been a week that I am on this problem that I ask questions without having an answer


Sub MapFragment1_Ready
Log("MapFragment1_Ready")
gmap=MapFragment1.GetMap
If gmap.IsInitialized Then

Dim m1 As Marker
m1=gmap.AddMarker(gmap.MyLocation.latitude, gmap.MyLocation.longitude, "toto")
m1.Snippet = "this is toto"

Dim cp As CameraPosition
cp.Initialize(gmap.MyLocation.latitude,gmap.MyLocation.longitude, 18)
gmap.AnimateCamera(cp)

Dim KMLLayer1 As KMLLayer
KMLLayer1.Initialize(gmap, File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets, "place.kml"))
KMLLayer1.AddLayerToMap

If KMLLayer1.HasContainers Then
Dim Containers As List=KMLLayer1.GetContainers
End If

If KMLLayer1.HasPlacemarks Then
Dim Placemarks As List=KMLLayer1.GetPlacemarks
End If

Else
Log("Error initializing GoogleMap")
ToastMessageShow("Error initializing GoogleMap", False)
End If
End Sub

Sub AddGeofence
Dim geo As Geofence
geo.Initialize
geo.Id = "DETECT"
geo.Center.Initialize2(gmap.MyLocation.latitude,gmap.MyLocation.longitude)
geo.RadiusMeters = 100
geo.ExpirationMs = DateTime.TicksPerDay 'expire after one day
CallSubDelayed3(GeofenceService, "AddGeofence", Me, geo)
Wait For Geofence_Added (Success As Boolean)
Log("Geofence added: " & Success)
End Sub

Hi, thank you for my first answer
yes i use this already and all work good if i use one marker, only i want use my KML list, this is my problem. i put one pict for you understand more

 

[Peter Simpson]

Hmm I see now you have added a lot more information to your original post. That's good, now people can see and read what you are attempting to achieve...

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

I think I'm wrong it's not one monitoring geofences that i have to use to do what I want. geofences defines a perimeter of detection whereas I want to detect the marker KML close to me. I think it Google Places API for Android

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

It not Google Places API too, I do not really know how others do this I spent hours on the internet looking for a solution I can not find an example or tutorial. it's surely a big secret lol

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

I think maybe it Google Maps Roads API. I'm still looking for ways to do it.

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

I finally managed to achieve what I want, thank you for your support that has been precious :-(

You should post the solution...

exemple with excel file
2.18078, 47.08134, POI1
2.62847, 47.20464, POI2
2.58453, 46.99898, POI3
etc...

Sub AddGeofence
    Dim workbook1 As ReadableWorkbook
    Dim moviesSheet As ReadableSheet
    workbook1.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "poi.xls")
    moviesSheet = workbook1.GetSheet(0)

    Dim geo As Geofence
    geo.Initialize

    For row = 0 To moviesSheet.RowsCount - 1
          geo.Id = moviesSheet.GetCellValue(2, row)
          geo.Center.Initialize2(moviesSheet.GetCellValue(1, row), moviesSheet.GetCellValue(0, row))
          geo.RadiusMeters = 150
          geo.ExpirationMs = DateTime.TicksPerDay
         CallSubDelayed3(GeofenceService, "AddGeofence", Me, geo)
         Wait For Geofence_Added (Success As Boolean)
         Log("Geofence added: " & Success)
    Next
End Sub

maybe not professional but it is my solution with the information that I have. the problem is that Geofences Monitoring detects the position in a radius of 150m and not in the direction of the road and a limit of 100 per device user. without support not easy to know what kind of APIs or libraries used. no one is communicating any help on this noticed

also it works upside down the marker detects me while those who want to detect the marker

Please use [CODE]code here...[/CODE] tags when posting code.

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

since there is a limit of 100 per user of the device with this method is it possible to define an area say 5km around me and to have only Geofences Monitoring present in this area, to use DateTime.TicksPerMinute at DateTime.TicksPerDay and enable and disable Geofences Monitoring as you move forward ?
