  1. Maps Dr. David Janzen Except as otherwise noted, the content of this presentation is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License.

  2. Maps • Google Maps API is widely used on the web • The Android SDK provides support for easily integrating the Google Maps API

  3. Using Google Maps in our apps • Configure • Maps require the Google API as the project build target • Maps require a Map API Key in order to be deployed • http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/maps-overview.html • Code • Create a MapView in a MapActivity • Create Map Overlays

  4. Add Google API in Eclipse http://developer.android.com/sdk/adding-components.html

  5. Add Google API in Eclipse • Use API 4 for SDK 1.6 http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html

  6. Add Google API in Eclipse • Set the Google API as the Project Build Target • Right-click on the project, select Properties

  7. Keys • As we learned in lab 1 section 6, https://sites.google.com/site/androidappcourse/labs/lab-1 our apps must be signed in order to deploy them on a device • Eclipse automatically creates a signed debug keystore that is used when launching our app from Eclipse • In order to deploy our app to the public, we must create a signed keystore See http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html#ExportWizard

  8. Find your keystore http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/mapkey.html

  9. Find your debug keystore http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/mapkey.html

  10. Get your certificate fingerprint http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/mapkey.html

  11. Register your certificate with Google http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html

  12. What’s in the legal agreement? • Read the Terms of Service (sections 1-11) • http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html • Examples • Maps may include ads in future • Google may limit number of transactions • Cannot use for turn-by-turn directions or autonomous driving

  13. Add the Map API Key to your Application <com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/myMap" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:clickable="true" android:apiKey="@string/mapApiKey"/>

  14. Configure AndroidManifest.xml <application android:name="MyApplication" > <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> ... </application>

  15. Finally, we can start coding • MapView • Contains a map • via Google Maps API • Map tile retrieval and caching is all done for you • Includes pan • Includes zoom • use setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

  16. MapView Modes • MapView • You determine mode • setSatellite(true); • setTraffic(true); • setStreetView(true);

  17. MapActivity • MapView can only be constructed or inflated in a MapActivity public class MyActivity extends MapActivity { … @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); … MapView myMap = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.myMap); myMap.setBuiltInZoomControls(); myMap.setSatellite(true);

  18. MapController • You can pan and zoom the map programmatically MapView myMap = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.myMap); MapController mapController = myMap.getController(); mapController.setZoom(1); //widest zoom/far away … mapController.setZoom(21); //narrowest zoom/close in mapController.zoomIn(); //one level mapController.zoomOut(); //one level

  19. GeoPoint • You can move to a particular point MapView myMap = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.myMap); MapController mapController = myMap.getController(); Double lat = 37.123456 * 1E6; Double long = -122.123456 * 1E6; GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(lat.intValue(), long.intValue()); mapController.setCenter(point); //jump to point … mapController.animateTo(point); //smooth transition to point

  20. Reverse Geocoding • Find address from longitude/latitude location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); double lat = location.getLatitude(); double lng = location.getLongitude(); Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault()); List<Address> addresses = null; try { addresses = gc.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 10); } catch (IOException e) {}

  21. Forward Geocoding • Find longitude/latitude (and more) from address Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(this, Locale.US); List<Address> addresses = null; try { addresses = gc.getFromLocationName( “123 Main St., Newton, Kansas”, 10); } catch (IOException e) {} double lat = addresses.get(0).getLatitude(); String zip = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();

  22. Geolocation • Options • GPS, cell network • Wifi-based • Skyhook Wireless • http://www.skyhookwireless.com/developers/Android_Integration_Manual.php

  23. Setting up location services public MyActivity() { criteria = new Criteria(); criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE); criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false); criteria.setBearingRequired(false); criteria.setCostAllowed(true); criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW); }; private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() { public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { updateWithNewLocation(location); } public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) { updateWithNewLocation(null); } public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {} public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {} };

  24. @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService( Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true); // or could be LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER try { updateWithNewLocation(locationManager.getLastKnownLocation( provider)); } catch (Exception e) {} locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 2000, 10, locationListener); } private void updateWithNewLocation(Location location) { double latitude = 0.0; double longitude = 0.0; if (location != null) { latitude = location.getLatitude(); longitude = location.getLongitude(); //do something with latitude and longitude (e.g. print or move map there) }

  25. Turn GPS on and off to save battery @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); //stop receiving GPS locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); //restart receiving GPS locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 2000, 10, locationListener); }
