Android :: Launching Activity From Overlay OnTap
Feb 10, 2009I am wondering if I am going about this problem the correct way.I am making an app that places overlays on top of google maps.When you click on the overlay it should launch a dialog type window that will give you options on what to do with that overlay.It is the line startActivity where the app throws an exception.I did the setFlags because an error message said it was needed because I was trying to start the Activity while outside an Activity.That makes me think I am going about this wrong.I have 'MyActivity' listed in my manifest so I don't think that is the issue.I have searched for this problem on the internet and I can't seem to find anyone else running into this so that is another reason I think I may be trying to do this the wrong way.

Android :: Starting Activity In Overlay OnTap?
Feb 10, 2009I am attempting to launch a dialog type window when I click an Overlay that has been placed on google maps. I thought the way I would do this was Override the onTap() method, create an intent, and call startActivity on that intent as follows:
CODE:..........
It looks like the program throws an ActivityNotFoundException when executing that last line. The exception reads that if you try to start an Activity while you are not in an Activity you need to set the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag which is why that line is there. I have included MyActivity in my manifest.
'context' is passed to my class constructor that extends Overlay and is the MapActivity that I am using to display the map.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Animated Map Overlay
Feb 17, 2009I am trying to make a map overlay animated much like MyLocationOverlay does. Currently the only things that I can see to make animated are Views but Overlays don't extend View functionality. My next thought was to try to lodge a View into the overlay, but the redundancy makes it seem like this solution is incorrect. I grabbed the android source hoping that I could just look at MyLocationOverlay source and that would let me know how the animation was supposed to be done, but I can't find the source for anything involving maps. If that is available somewhere it would help. Can someone point me to the MyLocationOverlay source or let me know what the paradigm is supposed to look like for animating map overlays?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Add Overlay To MapView?
Sep 28, 2010I have subclassed Overlay as LandMarkOverlay (and implemented an onTap(GeoPoint) method).
In the main activity I do this:
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MapView mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
landmarkOverlay = new LandmarkOverlay();
//add the landmarkOverlay to the list
mapView.getOverlays().add(landmarkOverlay);
What else do I need to do so that when the user taps the screen, landmarkOverlay's onTap(GeoPoint) method gets called?
Android :: Overlay Vs ItemizedOverlay?
Oct 24, 2009I want to draw 20 pins on a MapActivity. Each pin has a small pin image, but I have to dynamically overlay a small bit of text over each pin at runtime.
Looks like I have two options:
#1) Itemized Overlay This is the suggested method. I put all my pins in one ItemizedOverlay object, and that counts as a single Overlay object for my MapView.
#2) One Overlay per pin Create a separate Overlay instance for each pin I need to render.
The problem I see with using method #1 is that you need to set a drawable for the item. This would mean that I need to create 20+20 (one for focused/non-focused state each) bitmaps and keep them in memory for the duration of my app. On the other hand, Overlay lets you override the draw method so I can do the simple compositing at runtime.
The other issue with Itemized Overlay - although it handles focus for you - does it move the focused item to the front of the z-order when selected?
Android :: Memory Leak In Map Overlay
Jan 10, 2010I have been banging away at this one for weeks and I feel like I have exhausted my research capabilities. I am hoping that someone will see my error in the code posted below. The code is completely functional doing everything I need, but there is a major memory leak. When I try to track memory in the DDMS, the VM Heap tells me that my object count is relatively stable and the used memory is also relatively stable (it comes back down to a similar value after each GC after panning).
When I look at the memory pie chart, the free memory loses over 1meg of capacity with each map pan (overlay reload) and the Unknown memory grows. I have not found anything with the allocation tracker. Functional Summary: I load overlays onto a map based on data I get from polling my server. When I pan the map far enough I clear the overlays and load new ones.
MapFrontEnd.java (snippets): //header info private List<Overlay> overlays;
//in onCreate overlays = mapView.getOverlays();
// here I attempt to fully clean up my old Overlays for (Overlay i : overlays) {
if (i instanceof ParcelOverlay) ((ParcelOverlay) i).cleanUp(); }
Android :: Draw Bitmap On Overlay
Nov 12, 2009I've been trying almost everything and been searching and reading everywhere on the net. I just can't seem to find the correct way of doing this.
I have a MapActivity with a MapView and I want to draw something on an Overlay. I'm overwriting the draw-method, and I can easily draw straight on the canvas using a paint. My problem is I want to merge some circles and afterwards color them. Therefore I want to create a Bitmap and then draw on that. I just don't know what to use. Should I use a mutable Bitmap, a BitmapDrawable or am I simply going in the wrong direction.
The reason I want to do this is because I want to draw some kind of heatmap upon the Google Maps, and I need to merge and blend different circles, so they appear to be just one big blob.

Mar 10, 2010have been dealing with placement of items in the ItemizedOverlay class with the google maps android library, which seems to work just fine. It handles the icon placments and associated properties of the icons that I place on the viewer.As of lately though, I noticed that I loose the satellite view altogether in the final zoom features of the map when I want to get in real close. I thought this would be a real good opportunity to use a blueprint of an area as an overly on the gridded map so that there were still areas of reference when analyzing an area up close. Unfortunately I have not been able to place a bounded region for the blueprint on the map. If I have latitude and longitude values for each corner of where the blueprint should be places, I can't seem to find a method to put this where I want it on the map.The only constructor/method that I have found only asks for a center point and then sizes the object appropriately. It seems odd that this feature wouldn't exist but I can't find anything to hint that it does exist. JFrog "Debugging is twice as hard as coding something the first time. Therefore, if you make your code as clever as possible, you are by definition, not smart enough to debug it."

Am I missing some hard refresh call somewhere? My Overlay code is small and shown below. Note that it does go into the draw routine every second and the point is changed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Getting Compass Values And Use It On Map Overlay
Sep 13, 2010I have a marker on the map using an Overlay. I also have access to the compass sensor which I'm able to show a textView with the orientation values (0 to 359). How can I apply this values to the marker? (which is a drawable). I already have a MAtrix created but when I insert the orientation value gives me an error, here it is:
GeoPoint geopoint = new GeoPoint((int) (newLocation.getLatitude() * 1E6),
(int) (newLocation.getLongitude() * 1E6)); Paint paint = new Paint();
Point pt = new Point(); mapView.getProjection().toPixels(geopoint, pt);
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.user2);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix(); matrix.postTranslate(-25, -25);
matrix.postRotate(direction); matrix.postTranslate(pt.x, pt.y);
paint.setAntiAlias(true); paint.setFilterBitmap(true);
int width = bmp.getWidth(); int height = bmp.getHeight();
Bitmap changedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bmp, 0, 0, width, height, matrix, true);
BitmapDrawable icon = new BitmapDrawable(changedBitmap);
icon.setBounds(0, 0, icon.getIntrinsicWidth(), icon.getIntrinsicHeight());
userOverlay useroverlay = new userOverlay(icon); useroverlay.addItem(item);
mapView.getOverlays().add(useroverlay);
I used the value retrieved from the sensor on "direction" but it doesn't work.

Android :: AR Get Rotation Matrix / Camera Overlay?
Feb 23, 2010I spend two weeks now trying to get this working with no success. Here is what I want to do: I have several geo points around the user and his phone. I want to display this point overlaying them on the input from the camera (kind of standard AR (Augmented Reality) app). Part of my requirements are that the user can use the phone in either landscape or portrait mode.My plan was like this.
1. Register for Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER, Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD 2. Pass the result to Sensor Manager.getRotationMatrix(), getting back the R matrix that should be telling me how to translate points from the Phone coordinate system (defined here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html) to World coordinate system (x -> East, y -> North, z -> Sky) 3. I want to translate points from World to Phone so I take the inverse of R (I'm using Matrix.invertM()) to get R_In 4. Using the GPS I translate the geo points I want to display on the camera to points in the World coordinate system and then I run them through the R_In matrix to get their coordinates in the Phone system. 5. Draw the points in the screen only if the have (phone coordinates) z < 0 and x and y such that they are visible. This is my grand plan... however I have problems quite early (2). I do get the R matrix back and it looks good when I align the phone to the world coordinate system ( I get the identity matrix ). However when I try to translate an imaginary point from the Phone coordinate system say (0, 1, 0) to the World coordinate system I don't get the numbers I expect.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Way To Persist Graphics On A Canvas (map Overlay)?
Feb 16, 2009I've been searching around and can't seem to find a way to do this properly. I am doing some tracking where I want to draw dots on a map overlay recording previous positions. When onDraw of the overlay is called it seems the canvas is cleared so I have to redraw all of the history on every invocation. This could result in several thousands of dots being draw over time which seems to not be very efficient. Is there some flag somewhere that I have not found which tells a map overlay to be persistent? Or is there some way I can save and restore the canvas so I'm only maintaining/drawing the current point on each onDraw?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Custom Overlay Item Not Drawing
Aug 10, 2010I created a custom OverlayItem class so that I could essentially have one kind of OverlayItem whose Drawable marker would set itself depending on the state of some data that I pass into it. I have attempted to accomplish this by, on my first attempt, utilizing the setMarker method within the OverlayItem class. Once that did not work I attempt to override the getMarker method and have it return the appropriate marker to represent the data. Both of these attempts ended with nothing being drawn on the map...however if they are commented out the markers draw just fine (except they of course use the default marker, which isn't what I want). Here is my code for my custom OverlayItem class (the commented out methods I have tried and they have not worked):
private class MyOverlayItem extends OverlayItem {
private Context mContext; private MyData mData;
public MyOverlayItem(GeoPoint point, MyData data, Context context) {
super(point, data.getWhat(), data.getWhere()); this.mContext = context; this.mData = data;
/*if(data.getTemp() > 200) this.setMarker(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.icon_data_hot_l));
else if(data.getTemp() > 100) this.setMarker(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.icon_data_neutral_l));
else this.setMarker(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.icon_data_frozen_l));*/ }
/*@Override public Drawable getMarker(int stateBitset) {
Resources res = this.mContext.getResources(); if(this.mData.getTemp() > 200)
return res.getDrawable(R.drawable.icon_data_hot_l); else if(this.mData.getTemp() > 100)
return res.getDrawable(R.drawable.icon_data_neutral_l);
return res.getDrawable(R.drawable.icon_data_frozen_l);
}*/ }
Is there a way to do what I am attempting to do or do I need to make a unique OverlayItem class corresponding to each state of my data?
