What we gonna talk about? Introduction to GEOgraphy• How we „describe” the Earth?• How we calculate coordinates?• Important issues to avoid problems
Finding user location• Prepare to coding• Ways to obtain current position• This time emulator is helpful
Developing Maps application• GeoCoding• Good old Google Maps API v1• New look and feel Google Maps API v2
Summary• Navigation• PRO tips for advanced users• Q&A
Let’s go back to school
º - degrees’ - minutes’’ - seconds
East (E)West (W)(N)
(S)
How to calculate it?23º25’24’’ S
23º25’24’’ S → – 23,439167 (double)(int) = 1E6 * (double) → – 23439167 (int)
Attention Problems Extras
- Positive and Negative values
- Latutude goes firstCalcuation problems
- Altitude- Azimuth- Speed

Google Maps Android v1 API (Deprecated?)
Note:Version 1 of the Google Maps Android API has been officially deprecated as of
December 3rd, 2012.This means that from March 18th, 2013 you will no longer be able to request an
API key for this version. No new features will be added to Google Maps Android API v1.However, apps using v1 will continue to work on devices. Existing and new
developers are encouraged to use Google Maps Android API v2.
Google Maps Android v1 API
private void setUpMap() {mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView);
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true); mapView.setOnSingleTapListener(new OnSingleTapListener() {
@Override public boolean onSingleTap(MotionEvent e) {} });
mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();myLocationOverlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mapView);
myLocationOverlay.enableMyLocation();myLocationOverlay.enableCompass(); myLocationOverlay.runOnFirstFix(new Runnable() {
@Override public void run() {MapController mapController =
mapView.getController();mapController.animateTo(currentLocation);mapController.setZoom(17);mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocationOverlay);
}});mapOverlays.add(myLocationOverlay);
Google Maps Android API v2
Google Maps Android API v2
Weaknesses:• No Android Emulator suport!• Poor documented…• Requires powerfull device to display 3D view
// Construct a CameraPosition focusing on PWr// and animate the camera to that position.
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder() .target(new LatLng(51.107359,17.059974)) // Sets the center of the map to C-13 .zoom(17) // Sets the zoom .bearing(90) // Sets the orientation of the camera to east .tilt(30) // Sets the tilt of the camera to 30 degrees .build(); // Creates a CameraPosition from the buildermap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
Google Maps Android API v2
SummaryIt would be quite nice to remember and take care about:
Efficency
Battery saving
Networking data
