My Coding World: February 2015

Google maps is very popular in these days. So most of mobile apps use Google maps to server their customers. In this tutorial I’m going to demonstrate how to use Google maps for your android app using Google service

1) Step is to add Google play serves to your android adt bundle.

Open Eclipse ⇒ Windows ⇒ Android SDK Manager

Go to Android SDK Manager and click and check you have Google play serves with your adt bundle. If not you have to download it.

2) Like that way you have to check your adt bundle contain

To check you have to select Obsolete tick on your android sdk manager window . If not you have to install that also

If you done now your ready to get privet key from Google services to your android application.

3) Then go to the place where java install in your computer.

Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin

Then “shift+right click” and open command prompt

Then type like this

keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

then you have to copy the SHA1 that your prompt from the cmd.

4) Go to this link https://code.google.com/apis/console/

5) Then go to the API & AUTH -> APIs and on the Google Maps Android API v2 and Translate API

6) Then goto

APIs & auth -> Credentials -> public api access ->create new key -> android key

7)Then enter your SHA1 key ; android project name

After you completing typing click the create button

Then google provide a api key

Copy the API Key. Late you need that.

8) then Create a work place for the project

In Eclipse goto File ⇒ Import ⇒ Android ⇒ Existing Android Code Into Workspace

9. Click on Browse and select Google Play Services project from your android sdk folder. You can locate play services library project from
android-sdk-windows\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib

10. Importantly while importing check Copy projects into workspace option as shown in the below image.

11. In Eclipse create a new project by going to File ⇒ New ⇒ Android Application Project and fill required details. I kept my project name as Google Maps V2 and package name

12. Now we need to use Google Play Services project as a library to use project. So right click on project and select properties. In the properties window on left side select Android. On the right you can see Add button under library section. Click it and select google play services project which we imported previously.

13)

14)

15)at last your workplace is display like this.

16) Then you need to give permission in manifest file

<meta-data

android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"

android:value="AIzaSyAo7D5KmWcB8hdw6QZ_GNz5BSDLejlv6m0" />

<--add your api here as android:value -->

<meta-data

android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"

android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

<uses-feature

android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"

android:required="true" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />

17)Setup map

New google maps are implemented using MapFragments which is a sub class of Fragmentsclass. Open your main activity layout file activity_main.xml file and add following code. I usedRelativeLayout as a parent element. You can remove it and use MapFragment directly.

XML

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<fragment

android:id="@+id/map"

android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</RelativeLayout>

JAVA CODE

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

// Google Map

private GoogleMap googleMap;

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

try {

// Loading map

initilizeMap();

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

/**

* function to load map. If map is not created it will create it for you

* */

private void initilizeMap() {

if (googleMap == null) {

googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(

R.id.map)).getMap();

// check if map is created successfully or not

if (googleMap == null) {

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),

"Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)

.show();

}

@Override

protected void onResume() {

super.onResume();

initilizeMap();

}

MAP Properties

Showing Current Location

You can show user’s current location on the map by calling setMyLocationEnabled(). Pass true / false to enable or disable this feature

googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); // false to disable

Zooming Buttons

You can call setZoomControlsEnabled() function to get rid of those zooming controls on the map. By disabling these buttons map zooming functionality still work by pinching gesture.

googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(false); // true to enable

Zooming Functionality

You can disable zooming gesture functionality by calling setZoomGesturesEnabled()

googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);

Compass Functionality

Compass can be disabled by calling setCompassEnabled() function

googleMap.getUiSettings().setCompassEnabled(true);

My Location Button

My location button will be used to move map to your current location. This button can be shown / hidden by calling setMyLocationButtonEnabled() function

googleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);

Map Rotate Gesture

My rotate gesture can be enabled or disabled by calling setRotateGesturesEnabled() method

googleMap.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(true);

Although google maps provides lot of other features, I covered only basic topics in this tutorial. Remaining topics seems to be pretty much lengthy, so I’ll post them as separate articles.

Changing Map Type

Google provides 4 kinds of map types Normal, Hybrid, Satellite and Terrain. You can toggle to any kind of map using googleMap.setMapType() method.

googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);

googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);

googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);

googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN);

googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NONE);

Custom Marker Icon

Apart from maps native marker icons, you can use own image to show as a marker. You can load the icon from any kind of supported sources.

fromAsset(String assetName) – Loading from assets folder
fromBitmap (Bitmap image) – Loading bitmap image
fromFile (String path) – Loading from file
fromResource (int resourceId) – Loading from drawable resource

// latitude and longitude

double latitude = 17.385044;

double longitude = 78.486671;

// create marker

MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("Hello Maps");

// Changing marker icon

marker.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.my_marker_icon)));

// adding marker

googleMap.addMarker(marker);

Moving Camera to a Location with animation

You may want to move camera to a particular position. Google maps provides set of functions to achieve this.

CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder().target(

new LatLng(17.385044, 78.486671)).zoom(12).build();

googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));

Following are enhancements and features that google maps provides. You can utilize these features which suites to your requirements.

Changing Marker Color

By default map marker color will be RED. Google maps provides some set of predefined colored icons for the marker.

// ROSE color icon

marker.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ROSE));

// GREEN color icon

marker.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_GREEN));

Placing a Marker

You can place a marker on the map by using following code.

// latitude and longitude

double latitude = ;

double longitude = ;

// create marker

MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("Hello Maps ");

// adding marker

googleMap.addMarker(marker);

Create Application to get current location & draw the shortest path for the provided location from the current location

For this first we have to create two java class call GPSTracker and GMapV2Direction
