Android :: Implement An Application Similar To Google Maps?
Sep 18, 2009
I have a couple of images on available to my program. They are parts of jigsaw puzzle (with rectangular pieces though). I wanted the look and feel similar to that of google maps in android.
One way I could implement was to create a set of ImageViews and keep recycling them, as the user pans the image in any direction. However, to me that appears like a brute force method. Is there any alternative approach to implement such kind of application? Or rather how is google maps implemented? A set of Imageviews ?

i've read about phonegap which enables to write web-based apps for android and i was wondering:how is performance of phonegap compared to a "real" android app.what would NOT work in phonegap?i know it's possible to implement google maps with phonegap but i guess there's a lots of limitation compared to direct coding the maps under android?as a newbie to android (but intermediate in web-programming), should i rather go for direct android coding instead of phonegap? i'm planning to write an app which uses google maps service+gps, database access and such, and i'm afraid it's not really possible with phonegap.

How can I implement algorithms such as Dijkstra or backtracking on Google Maps integrated in Android ? For example I want to compute a route from city A to city B such that I pay the lowest price for gas.

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?

Is Google Latitude available in the UK or not, because it doesn't seem to be working for me? I have received the RC9 update for G1 and have Google Maps 3.0. Is there an a Google Latitude application that I should have or do I access everything through Google Maps? When I go the www.google.com/latitude on my G1, it offers me the option of "launching" Latitude but it just takes me to Google Maps. From there, I cannot see the locations of my Google "friends" (who have agreed to show location), neither does my own location show up on the Latitude homepage on the web (I have settings turned to "detect my location automatically").

I want to know if I can use the data (for example a tour from point A to point B) and extract it for example to save the tour infos to an text file or post it somewhere or do whatever I want with it? I want to use maps as a database, so what are the restrictions, what am I allowed to do?

I am writing an application (on v1.0) that needs to search Google maps for the nearest facility to my current location e.g. What are the nearest bike shops. I looked at googlenav.Search but this has been deprecated for some reason. I did look at the Qype APIs but gave up early as these were difficult to use.

I'm trying to display GoogleMaps in my application, but instead of map I just get an empty screen with crosses and Google logo in the bottom left corner. I'm using Internet permission in manifest file, just as the library "com.google.android.maps". I have also supported my application with Android Maps API key and I placed it in layout as android:apiKey value for MapView, but it still can't display the map.
main.xml:
<com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/myMapView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:enabled="true" android:clickable="true"
android:apiKey="07vNiwHa094tV14bUdyK0VTtXx0eeAZlk6WdKXQ" />
manifest.xml:
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> ...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
I have used two different API Key values, regarding whether I signed the application with debug or my own created keystore, but it didn't work with none of them.

For some reason I cannot get my first maps application to work. I have gone though the full process of getting the MD5 fingerprint for the debug.keystore, registered for the key on the website, put it into the xml file. Even had changed my computer's locale to US English. I also signed the application with my private key and pushed it via ADB to the emulator. All attempts so far resulted only in the grey Google Maps background with the tiles not loading. JAVA_HOME environment variable points to my JDK file. Not sure what else I can do. Even upgraded from SDK 1.1 to 1.5. No improvement. I am really stuck here. I am running WIN XP, Eclipse ganymede, SDK 1.5 r2, with the latest ADT. Here is my class file code: package com.mellagio.maps; import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity; import com.google.android.maps.MapController; import com.google.android.maps.MapView; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.

I have an android application which allows the user to open up google maps or navigator to show a certain address. This functionality was working in the past, but now I get the following error and the app crashes:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2165):
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW
dat=google.navigation:q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174 }
The two intents I'm using are-
1) For Map:
String uri = "geo:0,0?q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(i);
2) For Navigator:
String uri = "google.navigation:q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(i);

I tried to use google maps on my application but when I launched the application all I saw is a blank grid.By the way google didn't accept the fingerprint which is :
F2:06:12:30:88:2C:10:98:88:BF:AB:E2:F3:F7:44:15:2A :48:99:7E
So I shortened it to :F2:06:12:30:88:2C:10:98:88:BF:AB:E2:F3:F7:44:15

Just tested it out, I sent a bing map to the phone and it opened up bing in the browser. Was hoping to at least have an option to 'open with' google maps. Any workarounds, you creative people? I wish chrometophone would auto-convert bing maps to google maps on the fly.

I am developing a simple maps application that displays map in street mode. I want to display street name and a snapshot when a particular street is selected. Is it possible to get the street snapshot as is displayed by the native maps application using android APIs.
Also on native maps app when we select the street a 3D view of the street is shown. How can I add this 3D street view to my app.

Anyone else having problems with the Google Maps App on the EVO? Whenever I try to view my location, zoom in or out, or drag the map around, all I get is the white pixilated screen. Sometimes it will load, sometimes it won't. Sometimes it takes over 3 minutes to load. I don't understand because I've checked my 3G connection and it's strong - I'm assuming the phone connects to the internet to download the maps. I used to have a Hero and it wasn't this slow.

I live in Sweden and the application is on my phone, but does not work. That is odd because it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to do, especially if Google Maps already gives turn-by-turn directions. I'm guessing it might have to do with the language or pronunciation of the streets. I don't mind using it in English, though.

Is there an easy way to access "my maps" (that I have saved in Google) from Android 2.0 Google Maps App? Seems like there should be. I can go through the browser, and it takes a few clicks to get to there, but I can't even click anything when I find the map I want. It doesn't go anywhere, just stays on a Google screen with some text about the map.

Coming from a jailbroken iPhone, my favorite application was intelliscreen. Essentially what intelliscreen does is that it allows you to have information on your lock screen such as calendar, tasks, sports scores, news etc... This way you can access emails and sms etc... without ever unlocking your phone.
Is there any similar application on the Android OS?
