I'm wondering how to get the map to appear inside the CardView, like in the images below, highlighted in pink.
On the left is Strava, it shows the map with the route highilghted. On the right is Google Calendar, it has a map of the location of the calender event.
I would really appriciate some pointer on where to look in the apis to achieve this.
Regards,Luke
You need to use a MapView to achieve this.
This is part of Androids Lite Mode.
Create your card, and add the MapView inside the CardView.
Then in your onCreate(), you create the actual map and set the MapView to display that map.

I have implemented google map in my application, I want to animate my marker like below.
How can I achieve this?
Check this link,https://github.com/aarsy/GoogleMapsAnimations
GoogleMapsAnimations" is an awesome first of its type android library for showing a ripple and radar animations on a google map, e.g show catchment area of an earthquake where ripples have been felt, give prominence to certain markers which need to be highlighted. Also add a ripple when your user is moving on the map and give a #PokemonGo type ripple effect and also add a radar type effect to show users that you are searching in certain area

Then just use the image you have posted as the marker
On the Foursquare activity screen, a map is displayed at the top of the scrollable activity feed, and the text appears to "float" above the map. When the map is tapped it expands to fill the screen. What kind of Android views are they using here?
I think it's a FrameLayout, with the map fragment below and a listview above, being the first element of the list an empty transparent rectangle. When you click that first element an animation is triggered to hide the listview and set the map's configuration.
I'm trying to achieve a similar screen. That's the general idea, not sure yet about the details, I'll add some code later if I can.
Can't be certain, but I'm 99% sure that they are using the Google Maps api, with markers added. Check out this link for more information: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/marker
I am trying to add a button to my maps itemizedoverlay. Now i can draw an empty speech bubble using itemizedoverlay. But i want to add a button on it. I have tried to define that button as another overlay and add it to another geopoint and manage to make it seems like it is on the bubble. But when I zoom in or out, the location of the speech bubble and button change. I have tried to set them on the same geopoint. But after that the tap function of itemized overlay didn't run properly. I have checked a lot things such as https://github.com/jgilfelt/android-mapviewballoons. I am not allowed to use external library. So i need you help. Thanks in advance...
i want to do the following. I am having a google map that displays my position. I have created separately a compass. Now what I want is to combine them and put the compass on top of my map. I do not know where to start for it, and how I skould implement it since data of te compass are also being updated every second I move?
If you have any tutorials please give me link cause I have not been able to find any.
In my previous app I have used a class extending Overlay but this was for only putting a pin or something like this.
You may add the image as a custom control: example (it's the home-button in the example)
Recently I show the ubicabs taxi booking app. I found very nice functionality inside it. In this app they have google maps for showing markers, but they have used very good UI component for that. Also I found one more uniqueness is that whenever user moves or change the position of marker through touch it will fetch the current location. One thing that I know is that it is using the onTouchEvent of Overlay but how to create that marker balloon and how to get updated location on the basis of that marker.
I am attaching a preview of that marker here. Also would like to know that how can we scroll the text inside that balloon?
The best overlay open project I have found so far is this one, link. But it is nothing compared to the picture above. Would also like to know how they created this! Great Question and picture ;)
