I want to use google map in my android app in specific area. for example in special country. How can I check that my current location is in that place?
updates:
for example how to check that I am in New Delhi city
You can try using LatLngBounds and LatLngBounds.contains()
private LatLngBounds NewDelhi = new LatLngBounds(your special area SE LatLng , NE LatLng );
if(NewDelhi.contains(your location LatLng))
//Do something
Get city name from Location:
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(myLocation.getLatitude(), myLocation.getLongitude(), 1);
String cityName = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
//String stateName = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(1);
//String countryName = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(2);

How to get complete address from latitude and longitude?
I want to get following values from Latitude and Longitude in android
Street Address
City / State
Zip
Complete Address
How to achieve this?
maybe using google map api can help you to get location detail
Geocoder geocoder;
List<Address> addresses;
geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
String knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName();

I have got a reference from and almost I have use this method - How to get complete address from latitude and longitude?
Geocoder geocoder;
List<Address> addresses;
geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1); // Here 1 represent max location result to returned, by documents it recommended 1 to 5
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
String knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName(); // Only if available else return NULL
I am developing a bus tracking application where I am getting the location using service from server. Now, with that I want to show the bus movement and draw a proper polyline. I achieved a part of this but facing two main issues:
Every time bus marker is showing, it is not getting removed. So, the older footprint of the bus is still present. Although I reached destination, I am seeing many bus icons.
I am able to draw the polyline by joining the latitude and longitude but it is showing sometimes a straight line.
I have attached two screenshots for that.
The code which I used is here:
private void setmMap() {
progressDialog.show();
if (broadcastReceiver == null)
broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("Testing", "inside the setmap");
// show progress dialog
try {
double latitude = intent.getDoubleExtra("lat", 22.560214);
double longitude = intent.getDoubleExtra("longi", 22.560214);
Log.d("SetMap", intent.getExtras().getString("time"));
LatLng startLocation = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
m.setPosition(startLocation);
points.add(startLocation);
PolylineOptions options = new PolylineOptions().width(5).color(Color.BLUE).geodesic(true);
for (int i = 0; i < points.size(); i++) {
LatLng point = points.get(i);
options.add(point);
}
line = mMap.addPolyline(options); //add Polyline
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(startLocation));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(startLocation, 15));
progressDialog.cancel();
Geocoder geocoder;
List<Address> addresses;
geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
String strLoc = "Latitude:: "+latitude+" ::Longitude:: "+longitude+" ::Address:: "+address+" "+city+" "+
state;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),strLoc, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
progressDialog.cancel();
}
}
};
registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, new IntentFilter("carLocationService"));
}
Thanks,
Arindam.
1) you din't show part of code where marker m added, possible that code runs several times;
2) seems bus location sensor's polling period is quite large and does not allow tracking bus turns (bus can make several turns between it's known locations). So you need to interpolate path between known bus locations for example with Google Directions API.
Right now I currently am displaying the Latitude/Longitude within my Android Studio MapsActivity Marker by using the following:
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(latLng);
markerOptions.title(String.valueOf(latLng));
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE));
currentLocationMarker = mMap.addMarker((markerOptions));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
My goal is to display the entire address.
Use geocoder to get address from latlng
Geocoder geocoder;
List<Address> addresses;
geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1); // Here 1 represent max location result to returned, by documents it recommended 1 to 5
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
whenever I click on a particular location in Google Map, I want that location's name to be displayed in a text view. Is there any way I can do it?
Get lat_lng value for particular location, then lat lng value pass to geocoder method.
public void getgetLocationAddress(Context context,double lat,double lng){
Geocoder geocoder;
List<Address> addresses;
geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
try {
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1); // Here 1 represent max location result to returned, by documents it recommended 1 to 5
address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
// System.out.println("SDK_DATA"+address+"..."+city +country);
//Here address set to your textview
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} }
I'm building an app where I need to apply bounds on user's location (Lat,Lng) to be within city perimeters like Uber. How can I achieve this?
This one is when within city perimeters
This one is not in city or Uber's service zone.
I have tried this approach. I'm using geocoder and fetching the address of the location and matching city parameters.
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, lon, 1);
if (addresses != null && !addresses.isEmpty()) {
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
String knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName();
}
Can I use Geofencing? If yes then how?
