I am developing an application which shows the current location of the user. I want to display a marker on the current location of the user.
I have used an image as marker to display current location. But i want to display an animated arrow showing the range just like in the google maps android app. Can anyone please tell me how to achieve this.
I can draw overlay items onto google maps just fine, an image that looks like:
_____
| |
______
/
Where the "/" part is the "pin" that marks the lat/lon on the map and a picture in the middle of it. My question is, is there any way to expand this when the user clicks on it? I'll of course have to change this to some kind of dialog or layout and change it when it gets clicked.
I want to have it smaller like that with just an image when not clicked on, but when it is clicked on it expands over like a second to:
--------------------------------------
| <image> <buttons> |
| <buttons> |
| <some info here> |
| |
--------------------------------------
/
Is this possible?

I have a made custom popup marker. There is a button on the popup that shows up when you click on a marker on the map. Its function is to open a new activity when the button is clicked. So in the onClick function of the setOnClickListener() call, I created a new object of the Activity class and used that to call the various methods that needs to start the activity but I keep getting a java.lang.NullPointerException thrown regarding the line that calls the startActivityForResult() method. Not sure of the best way to go about this. I have pasted a sample code...

I am working on a MapView app in Android. I have three markers that I want to be able to use the Google Map API getlocation-function on, later on. In order to try it out I would like to move the marker with a drag and drop-function, and then check the location.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android and so I may be missing some very basic things here. I am trying to host custom KML files on a server behind my firewall and display those KML files on the Android emulator. I started by writing a simple app that uses an Intent to display the overlay and pointing the app at geo:0,0?q=
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/KML_Samples.kml. This works in the emulator.
Next I downloaded that KML file and posted it on my web server (Apache 2.2 on Fedora). I added an AddType directive for the .kml extension and restarted HTTPD. When I point my simple app's Intent to my internally hosted KML file I get the error "The community map could not be displayed because it contains errors." I added some code to try and download the KML file independently of the KML so I could check the status line and the like:
final HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpGet get = new HttpGet("http://mycompany.com/data/KML_Samples.kml");
try { final HttpResponse resp = client.execute(get);
android.util.Log.e("MapOverlays", resp.toString());
} catch (Throwable t) {
android.util.Log.e("MapOverlays", "Exception", t);
}
With a breakpoint on the first Log message line I can inspect the results:
statusline = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
Content-Type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml
Here's the Intent I'm using:
final Intent intent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=http://mycompany.com/data/KML_Samples.kml"));
startActivity(intent);
So the two main questions are
What do I need to do to get KML loaded from a private server?
What tools are available (if any) to determine what is wrong with what I've done (something more informative than "The community map...")?
I've started to develop in Android 2 weeks ago and until now, I like it! Currently I am working on a project where I have to display an individual map (not a google maps view, I'd like to display the map of a building's interior) with which the user can interact(mark positions, etc.).
Is there a framework or an existing app that I could use? Of course I searched the internet but could not find anything. Perhaps it is in some way possible to use the google maps API?
I've been stuck for ages now trying to implement threading or background image loading for a custom tile overlay class I've been working on. I'm pretty useless when it comes to Java so threading isn't something I've had any experience with. Basically I have extended an ItemizedOverlay and in the draw() method calculate the tiles I need to display over the standard google tiles then fetch those images with a URLConnection and using BitmapFactory decode them and draw them to the canvas at the correct position on the screen so that the images are on top of the google tiles with about 50% opacity (the custom tiles are cellphone network coverage png's which are used for our web app). I initially got this all working with the tiles loading in the correct places but hit issues with memory and "freezing" while panning so implemented some basic caching and memory management to only store the tiles that are displayed on the map in memory and when downloading a tile store it to SD card.
Then I figured the freezing while panning is due to the blocking nature of downloading the images so, have been trying to implement threading. I created a class that extends AsyncTask to download the images in the background and store them to SD, in the onPostExecute method I then try to draw all the tiles. But onPostExecute never seems to fire, now I know that the AsyncTask has to be called in the main ui thread so tried to debug the execution with Thread.currentThread().getId() calls through out the code. The thread Ids through out is 1 and then 10 for the doInBackground method for the AsyncTask. Now I'm not sure if 1 is the main UI thread or not. In the extended MapActivity class I have, the onCreate method's Thread.currentThread().getId() returns 1 but I'm not sure if the MapActivity class is executed in the main ui thread? Here Romain Guy mentions that the onPostExecute method should have @Override but when I do that eclipse flags it as an error
"The method onPostExecute(Boolean...) of type TileCache.ImageLoadTask must override or implement a supertype method"
So I guess something is wrong there but the only fix eclipse offers is to remove the @Override
So I guess with out post all my source code, the question's I have are:
Is the MapActivity onCreate method called in the main ui thread?
What does the @Override error mean? or why does it show that error
Does anyone have an example of a custom tile overlay implementation with background image loading and tile caching?
Is it possible to create custom theme? And give its properties such as window type, background color, font size, etc.?
