I am creating an app where i need to use map view and allow users to search for an address.
However I do not need the full Maps app functionality. how can I perform a search like in The maps app ( where it auto completes the address) in my own MapVeiw?

I would like to create a search in my app which acts like the map search in the Google Maps app. I have creates an an auto complete text view which updates dynamically based on the results of the Geocoder.GetLocationByName() Method. However the results retrieved from this function are really bad and not at all consistent with the text I pass to it. Is there a better method of doing this to achieve accurate results?

Suddenly after having it worked smooth for 3-4 days, I started getting a very strange problem which I was not able to search anywhere in forums or in the help manual.My address book search is not searching any contacts by the contact's names. It is just searching the emails, it's a huge problem for me especially when trying to send SMS to anyone, I can't go and add recipient by searching, I need to scroll the whole way down to that contact, which is irritating.
Otherwise the phone is quite nice and I am liking it very much. Especially the slide out keyboard is really usable plus unlike most smartphones, it's really small in size and performs most functions. There are some minor flaws but most of them are going to get fixed with the SE's much awaited software update for bringing in the Android 2.1, no doubt I am also waiting desperately.
I had found a lot of stackoverflow post about save an Activity and the reload it.
My question: How can I have an Activity with an MapView and after reload the same mapview?
What is the best way to switch between activity and views?
I like to add addresses to my phone book in Android. As a lot of my contacts live in buildings i also like to add the floor and apartment number to the address: Looking like that:
Street and Number, Floor and Department number
Town, zip code
State
Country
Example;
Av. Whatever 12345, Floor 5-A
Buenos Aires 1007
Argentina
When clicking on the address the GPS of my wish opens , finds the country, city but not the street because of the additional Floor and department information. Without this additional information everything well with Google Maps or Sygic.
So, how should i add this additional Floor and department information to my address without the GPS has problems to find the main location.Also from ICS on there is only one filed to add the whole address not as with Gingerbread where you had a field for street, city, etc.
Just getting used to my HTC Desire, after reading your forum I was comforted regarding battery life and it seems much better now than the first few days.
I see another post on this but no answer, the address book only gives one line of the address is then any way round this? Even my first pda a Psion 3 had the option of which fields to display etc. there seems very little option to format what is seen, not that I am unhappy about the rest but to have to edit to see all the address is barmy.
Another thing way back then that still is not found is search all fields of the contacts, i.e. to find a number of someone that rang on another phone.
The Gmail address book on the Web contains a field for birthdays, so why not the Android address book? While I'm sure the app could undergo a lot of changes (and everyone would have different ideas) something as basic as a birthday seems obvious.
View 11 Replies View RelatedWhen implementing search in my application, I'm including some search context info depending on the activity where search is invoked. In one of those, I'd like to implement type-to-search as well, but the standard method of adding search context info doesn't work in that case... the onSearchRequested() method in the activity is never called. Is there any way to include search context info in a type-to-search invocation, or am I stuck with only the Search key and menu option?

View 2 Replies View RelatedBefore, when I pressed the search button (the one with the magnifying glass) it cued up the google search bar. Now, after theming, the search button does nothing from the homescreen, but does still work while in applications, the browser, the market, etc. I am running launcher pro, deodexed w/ revolution.

I installed gesture search last night and now one of my few gripes with the phone is solved. I hated having to having to hold the options button to bring up a keyboard and then having to clear my last entry to start another search.

My Map file works fine by it self, but I need to get the address (see addressString below at the buttom) from another Activity. I tried getAddress/setAddress (setters/getters). They do not work. They always return 'no address' (the default).

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy problem is my MapView becoming very laggy and so non-responsive at times, that Android thinks its hit deadlock and tries to close it.
I am adding 60 overlays to the map view and i originally thought that the icon size may be causing the problem by using up all the memory. When i decreased the overlay icon size, it did improve things, though it is still to slow to be usable. Has anyone experienced anything similar and have a workaround? There may be a better way of doing it other then extending the Hello MapView example.
How to get MapView API in android?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I have a DROID using Android 2.2
I am attempting to get the simplest MapActivity to run on the device. (NetBeans latest and greatest using a Google Api build target.)
I have all the appropriate Manifest entries, the simplest OnCreate --- > all it does is setContextView() to the xml with a mapview in it.
I recently want to put mapview in tabhost but now is the question i can't figure out how to do this right!
here's my source code...
I want to catch any onTouchEvent() on the mapview. After search lots of questions&answers, I found only when I write my own MapView(MyMapView)and define onTouchEvent, then use this MyMapView in main activity.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to place my custom map (overlay) over Google map. For example, my MapView will be positioned to look at some building. I want to load custom image(s) that will show building's floor plan. Want to be able to pan and zoom, and place markers (for example, Room 1, Room 2, etc...), in other words, I would like to be able to use Google Map API methods. The best would be if Google map images are not loaded at all, since that will (I believe) slow down user's experience. Also, the user may be inside the building, and connection may be slow or non-existing.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi have a problem with my mapView. my app reads "some" gps points out of a file and i want to draw a route (drawing lines between the gps point). If my file contains many gps points, my app works really slow. i think its working slow, because i draw all overlays. now i want to check, whether a point is visible in my mapView or not. so i have to get the mapCenter and Lat/lon span (getLatitudeSpan,..) !? how and where must i save my points and how can i check all my points (after my mapCenter has changed for example). Shall I save my points in a list (in my Overlay class??) and iterate through every list item and check, wheter its visible or not?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been reading the (shoddy) documentation for the Google Maps API (MapActivity et al), and I think I have roughly worked out how it works. It seems that if you want to add a marker overlay you can use ItemizedOverlay easily, but you have to add all your markers at once. There doesn't seem to be any way to remove them.
What I want to do is query markers from an online database as the user pans around (in the same way the actual map tiles are fetched). Is there a simple way to do this?
As far as I can tell I need to subclass Overlay and implement the draw method, but where is the best place to put the code that fetches new markers when the map is panned? There doesn't seem to be an onMapChanged() method anywhere. My best guess is MapController.onKey() but that seems wrong.
I'm seeing a bug with overlays on MapView with the Nexus One. Pinch and zoom multitouch gestures don't scale my overlays until the user releases the gesture, at which point the overlay redraws itself. In contrast, the My Location overlay in Google Maps WILL scale during the gesture. Is there a way to fix this in my app, or is this a MapView bug?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI followed the instructions from the google hellomapview tutorial. I get a working mapview etc. But the two items that are added to the map are not shown. It seems they are there somewhere because tapping at the specified location shows the message that was added to the items.
