Google Maps API v2 • In March 2013 google removed the ability to get a map key for version 1. • Version 2 had been introduced in December of 2012. • My lectures can not kept up. There are two very good tutorials on the web, when used together, it actually makes some sense. • https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#installing_the_google_maps_android_v2_api • http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidGoogleMaps/article.html • We will go through them. There is also a simple example And-mapDemov2.zip • Another site with good info • http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/google-maps-in-android-application-with-new-google-maps-android-api-v2-using-supportmapfragment/
Blackberry Maps. • Blackberry allows to static maps (pictures) or interactive maps • Interactive maps using a RichMapField • You then add them to the screen like other fields and they display. • As a note in the emulator, before launch the app, turn off and on the network. Then it works, otherwise fails. • No clue why, it’s just what blackberry says to do.
Blackberry Maps (2) • Blackberry’s document is pretty good, so instead of retyping here. • Let’s just look at the web pages: • http://developer.blackberry.com/develop/platform_services/platform_maps.html • On my handouts page is a working demo call bb-mapDemo.zip
