I want to develop an Android application to detect some target and show play icon over it. When user click the play icon, augmented reality played on another activity.
I use ARToolkit as a SDK. The Interaction example is the best match my requirements. But the problem is i cant make the play icon clickable and in that example, the whole view is clickable.
In brief, how can i get marker coordinates on Android view?
The play button you want to place is a 3D object inside a GLSurfaceView, there is no "View" associated to that object, so you can't just use an OnClickListener.
ARToolkit gives you the marker coordinates on 3DSpace, but that I don't think that coordinates are what you are asking for.
As I see it, you have 2 main options:
You made a play button that appears in the screen (not overlaid on the marker) and then you use it as a normal View. You can link the visibility to the object to the event of the marker being found or not.
You process the touch event on the GLSurfaceView doing raycasting and checking if it hits the object that is the play button.
Option 1 is the simplest, option 2 is what you describe.

I'm trying to make an android application that has an interactive map.
Then when the app is run and the user selects the map option it will enable location services to show the user where they are on the custom map- and notify them if they are outside of the bounds predetermined.
If they are within the predetermined bounds, I want to show their location on the map while the map is being viewed.
I'd also eventually like to add "areas" to the map that allows a button press or interaction. Example: a "button press" that would allow text to display.
I'm just looking to see if there a either a solution built into to the google map API already, or if there is another open-source solution that has already been made.
For your so called "areas" you can use markers that are clickable and can add listener to them to perform custom click (open new Fragment/Activity or show some info image text etc.). This is good place to start :
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/marker
For predetermined bounds you will need a projection that translate between screen location(coordinates) to geographic coordinates and vice versa.
Nice info for projection can be found here :
https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/Projection

I am working on android tracking application.
I need to show Connected friends on MapView. Each Friends marker contains image(Person image) and two buttons(Make Call and message) .
Note : The two buttons should show after image pressed.
I try this sample http://www.nasc.fr/android/android-using-layout-as-custom-marker-on-google-map-api/. It shows only TextView.
Is there any way to add custom marker with button or any other ideas to achieve this?
Below image shows the map-view that i want to add live views.
Thanks in Advance
If I'm not wrong, you're looking for infowindowadapter. Did you try infowindowadapter ? If not please implement it .

Thanks. Let me know if it helps.
Finally i ended up with my result with the below link
Google Maps Android API v2 - Interactive InfoWindow (like in original android google maps)
Its quiet interesting to hack layouts.
Thanks,
From the Google Maps V2 documentation:
Note: The info window that is drawn is not a live view. The view is rendered as an image (using View.draw(Canvas)) at the time it is returned. This means that any subsequent changes to the view will not be reflected by the info window on the map. To update the info window later (e.g., after an image has loaded), call showInfoWindow(). Furthermore, the info window will not respect any of the interactivity typical for a normal view such as touch or gesture events. However you can listen to a generic click event on the whole info window as described in the section below.
Therefore, you can't add buttons to the markers. An idea could be have that buttons somewhere in your layout and show/hide them when the user selects a marker.
In the new Google Maps for Android API v2, I can very easily get custom markers and info windows to display. However, I'm trying to have multiple buttons inside of my info window, that each perform a different onClick action but the problem is, the map treats the InfoWindow as it's own button object (no matter where I click on the InfoWindow, it presses the entire thing). Does anyone know how to customize this a bit more?
Just found this in the documentation.
As mentioned in the previous section on info windows, an info window
is not a live View, rather the view is rendered as an image onto the
map. As a result, any listeners you set on the view are disregarded
and you cannot distinguish between click events on various parts of
the view. You are advised not to place interactive components — such
as buttons, checkboxes, or text inputs — within your custom info
window.
Unfortunately, that answers it. I was trying to add the same function as you.
I'm using Polaris map library in my android app.
https://github.com/cyrilmottier/Polaris
I've Google Map with some geo points. I'm reading them from database. I've added two buttons on the map activity - "next" and "previous" to navigate between points.
mc.animateTo(geopoints.get(arrayID));
"arrayID" is the id of the next geo point and "mc" is map controller.
It works great but I want to add one more feature.
I want annotation to be visible by default while moving between points. After click on the "next" button I want to be moved to the next point on my map and it's annotation should be visible (not only after clicking on it).
Probably there is an easy way to do it.
I should probably do something with calloutView but I can't figure it out how to do that.
I made something like this. But it's not working properly.
MapCalloutView calloutView;
calloutView = new MapCalloutView(getApplicationContext());
calloutView.setDisclosureEnabled(true);
calloutView.setClickable(true); calloutView.setLeftAccessoryView(getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.accessory, calloutView, false));
calloutView.show(mMapView, geopoints.get(arrayID), false);
calloutView.setData(annotations.get(arrayID));
It is showing me bubble but it creates new calloutView which is wrong I think. For example Polaris listeners are not working. I can't deselect callout etc...
My mistake! It was so easy...
I don't need to play with MapcalloutView in Polaris.
mMapView.setSelectedAnnotation(arrayID);
I’m new to development, specifically Android. Through tutorials, I’ve managed to display a map with a marker for a building that displays a “toast” box with text identifying that building, when tapped (I fashioned it after the “Noo Yawk” example). I need to display a new full screen with a photo of that building and text describing it, and use the back button to return to the map. I need to do this for at least 30 buildings.
Do I need to start a new activity for each building? It would seem complicated and resource intensive. If so, where will the photo and text reside? Do I need to have a button in the layout to call the map again? Or is there a simpler way to do this? Given the number of buildings, will content management or a database be required?
Thanks in advance and forgive my ignorance. I’ve parsed so many articles and tutorials that I’m becoming confused.
I would just show Dialog with ImageView (photo), TextView (information) and Button (to close Dialog).
Android dialog Screen Example
I think it would be better to keep photo and info inside database and pass them into Dialog before show.
You can display any view on top of the view. Add marker to your map and listen for onClick events on your marker. (see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener)
Within the onClick event you show a view on top of the map.
Do not try to use the InfoWindows of the Maps API as the InfoWindows are rendered as an image and not as a live view. Therefor async loading of your images is not possible with InfoWindows.
