Android :: Add A Distance To GeoPoint And Get It As Result?
Jan 27, 2010I need to draw a circle on my map. I have the GeoPoint and I have the radius of the circle in meters. How do I add a distance to a GeoPoint and get a GeoPoint as a result?

I need to draw a circle on my map. I have the GeoPoint and I have the radius of the circle in meters. How do I add a distance to a GeoPoint and get a GeoPoint as a result?
I'm curious,why does GeoPoint uses micro degrees ( Ex: lat/lng * 1000000 ) versus just a double lat/lng?

Is there a method for getting the coordinates for the top left and bottom right corners of the visible area?

private List<GeoPoint> points = new ArrayList<GeoPoint>();
I want to pass points to another Activity and retrieve the data in that activity. How do I do it? I know I have to use the parcelable but I searched, but could not find a way to pass ArrayLists.
Trying to solve my current problem of drawing an image on an Android MapView and then animate it to represent a moving object, I decided to try to just draw a raw ImageView at a GeoPoint on the map and then try and animate it from there.
This is the code I put in my map activity (extends MapActivity)'s onCreate method:
CODE:..............
Again, I'm just trying to draw the static icon and animate it from there. I can already do this with an ItemizedOverlay, but as far as I can tell, I can't animate the elements of an AnimatedOverlay the way that I can animate a view. Thus, using ImageView.
But the icon doesn't show up.
I know this is a very noobish question -- but what is the best way to convert a GeoPoint to a Location on the Android platform.

View 3 Replies View Relatedi need to apply translate animation from one geo point to another geopoint with some duration.when i doing this, the map is animating but getting white space in some part of the screen where the animation occurs.I think this is because of clipping of the map before animation occurs. During animation is running the entire mobile screen is covered with map is required.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have used the algorithm on http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html to find the distance between two points.
My two points are
long1 = 51.507467;
lat1 = -0.08776;
long2 = 51.508736;
lat2 = -0.08612;
According to Movable Type Script the answer is 0.1812km
My application gives the result (d) as 0.230km code...

Whats the unit for the distance returned? 2) In windows XP using Eclipse 3.3.2. Emulator does not send coordinates properly. Either it by hand or by loading a gpx file the location Listener is not invoked. This same code I have tried it in Ubuntu and works fine. Does someone know how can I solve this? In the office there is no linux installed and I can take my personal laptop.

This work fine and i am able to use this distance to calculate proximity in the rest of my app, but the distance it self is not apparently in meters i am getting result like 4134801.4 i am sure that the distance is 3200meters in this case.
Is there Android application that can be used to calculate travel time and distance?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if the Location.distanceTo method will use the accuracy field of the Location object when approximates the location, or do I have to add by my own the errors to these fields. The usage is to compare the distance against a proximity value.
Float dist=currentLocation.distanceTo(loc2); Would this be if (dist<100meters) or
if (dist+currentLocation.getAccuracy()+loc2.getAccuracy()<100meters)
