Android Google Maps Update Camera Before Snapshot Out of Order

I am trying to snapshot the Google Map image AFTER I set the map to the bounds of the Polyline. I have used separate code samples found on StackExchange to do both the moveToBounds() and Snapshot which work fine individually, but when run in sequence the Snapshot is of the map image BEFORE the map was updated. I assume I need to insert a OnCameraChangeListener but I cannot make it work. Do I need to somehow nest Callbacks? Please advise.
public void mapCapture() {
moveToBounds(gpsTrackingPolyline);
mMap.snapshot(new GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback() {
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap bitmap) {
// Write image to disk
try {
File bmpFile = new File(getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir(null), DEFAULT_BMP_FILENAME);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(bmpFile);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
private void moveToBounds(Polyline p)
{
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
List<LatLng> arr = p.getPoints();
for(int i = 0; i < arr.size();i++){
builder.include(arr.get(i));
}
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
int padding = 40; // offset from edges of the map in pixels
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, padding);
mMap.animateCamera(cu);
}

Don't know if you have found solution or if you still need it. But still here it goes. Yes you need a callback which will let you know when map has finished animation. Do something like this:
mMap.animateCamera(cu, new GoogleMap.CancelableCallback() {
#Override
public void onFinish() {
//your code related to snapshot
mMap.snapshot(new GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback() {
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap bitmap) {
// Write image to disk
//rest of your code
});
}
#Override
public void onCancel() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});

Passing a bitmap/uri to Box Android API v2

EDIT:
I wrote a function passing the Authenticated Box Client and Bitmap Bytestream. Was also informated the root directory on Box has an ID of 0. But I'm still unable to upload.
What I need to do is create a directory, if present don't and upload the file in that directory.
private void doUpload(final BoxAndroidClient client, final ByteArrayInputStream bs) {
if(client.isAuthenticated())
{
System.out.println("Trying to upload: In upload function");
AsyncTask<Null, Integer, Null> task = new AsyncTask<Null, Integer, Null>() {
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Null result) {
Toast.makeText(PagerActivity.this, "done uploading", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
Toast.makeText(PagerActivity.this, "start uploading", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected Null doInBackground(Null... params) {
try {
BoxDefaultRequestObject folreqObj = new BoxDefaultRequestObject();
BoxFolder newFol = new BoxFolder();
String parentId = newFol.getId();
BoxFileUploadRequestObject requestObj = BoxFileUploadRequestObject.uploadFileRequestObject("0", "bestphotonow.png", bs);
client.getFilesManager().uploadFile(requestObj);
/*
if(client.getFoldersManager().getFolder(parentId, folreqObj).getName()!=null)
{
BoxFileUploadRequestObject requestObj = BoxFileUploadRequestObject.uploadFileRequestObject(parentId, "bestphotonow.png", bs);
client.getFilesManager().uploadFile(requestObj);
}
else
{
BoxFolderRequestObject upreqObj = BoxFolderRequestObject.createFolderRequestObject("BestPhotoNow", parentId);
client.getFoldersManager().createFolder(upreqObj);
BoxFileUploadRequestObject requestObj = BoxFileUploadRequestObject.uploadFileRequestObject(parentId, "bestphotonow.png", bs);

So, I have a wallpaper app that fetches some images from a server. I'm trying to integrate box to be able to upload the picture in the current view (viewpager) to Box via Box Android API v2.
https://github.com/box/box-android-sdk-v2
I have been successful to authenticate the user via oauth. But, I'm really stuck at trying to upload the bitmap or uri direct to their upload call without having to launch a folder picker activity. This is what I have.
On click of a button for upload:
case R.id.boxcloudbutton:
imageLoader.loadImage(url, new SimpleImageLoadingListener(){
#Override
public void onLoadingComplete(String imageUri, View view, Bitmap loadedImage) {
Intent intent = OAuthActivity.createOAuthActivityIntent(getApplicationContext(), "vfoj4o6nxqblahh454wem", "J9TQWyFSblahV2C", false, "http://localhost");
intent.putExtra("boximageUri", imageUri);
System.out.println("BoxUri: "+imageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, BOX_RESULT);
super.onLoadingComplete(imageUri, view, loadedImage);
}
});
break;
I'm trying to pass either the bitmap or uri
and in the OnActivityResult
case BOX_RESULT:
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
// Get the error message for why authentication failed.
String failMessage = data.getStringExtra(OAuthActivity.ERROR_MESSAGE);
// Implement your own logic to handle the error.
// handleFail(failMessage);
} else {
// You will get an authenticated oath token object back upon success.
BoxAndroidOAuthData oauth = data.getParcelableExtra(OAuthActivity.BOX_CLIENT_OAUTH);
// If you don't want to supply a customized hub or parser, use null to fall back to defaults.
BoxAndroidClient client = new BoxAndroidClient( "vfoj4oxxxxxxxxxxtordlh454wem",
"J9TjxxxxxxxmRwux2V2C", null, null, null);
client.authenticate(oauth);
System.out.println("Data for Box: "+data.getExtras().getString("boximageUri"));
BoxFileUploadRequestObject requestObj = BoxFileUploadRequestObject.uploadFileRequestObject(0, "name", file);
BoxFile bFile = client.getFilesManager().uploadFile(requestObj);
}
break;
Here, I successfully get authenticated, but I do not recieve the uri or the bitmap in the Intent data that I passed.
More, if anyone has any idea of how I can pass bitmap to a file for a file upload for Box api v2, I would really appreciate some assistance!
Thanks,
Arnab

Try shifting around the responsibility....
When you go to the Oauth activity , do just the authentication and return the credentials or Token from that which grants permission for subsequent actions on Box api.
Choose correct api to POST a bitmap... Here you want an api call that allows the ByteArray corresponding to the bitMap to be loaded as a ByteArrayEntity in the body of a http POST action.
This answer sample of how to prepare a local bitmap instance for being wrapped in body of Post as byteArray.

How to take google Maps v2 snapshot?

i have to solve this with the new "snapshot maker" which is implemented in the google maps release august but i dont' know how to do this.
Can somone give me a simple example?
here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
static LatLng HAMBURG = new LatLng(47.524749, 21.632745);
GoogleMap map;
File dbFile;
private File imageFile;
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
PolylineOptions line = new PolylineOptions();
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
/*
* Adatbázis
*/
try {
dbFile = getDatabasePath("/mnt/sdcard/Download/TeleSensors.db");
} catch (Exception e) {
}
SQLiteDatabase myDataBase = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(
dbFile.getAbsolutePath(), null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);
Cursor curTAB = myDataBase.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM GPS_Values;", null);
Integer count = 0;
while (curTAB.moveToNext()) {
String s_latitude = curTAB.getString(1);
String s_longitude = curTAB.getString(2);
count++;
double latitude = Double.parseDouble(s_latitude);
double longitude = Double.parseDouble(s_longitude);
line.add(new LatLng(latitude, longitude));
Log.i("Coordinates",
s_latitude.toString() + " --- " + s_longitude.toString());
}
curTAB.close();
myDataBase.close();
// adatbázis vége
map.addPolyline(line);
// map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
// map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NONE);
map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
// map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);
// map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN);
// Move the camera instantly to hamburg with a zoom of 15.
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(HAMBURG, 15));
// Zoom in, animating the camera.
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15), 2000, null);
}
}
Thank you very mouch!

You have to call the Google maps snapshot method in a button listener because if you should take it too early, it will give you error bitmap width has to be larger than 0 or something like this.
Here is the code
private void button_listener() {
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/Download/TeleSensors.png");
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
map.snapshot(callback);
}
});
}

This one is better, it waits for your Map to be fully rendered, before taking the snapshot.
It was updated on 31-Oct-2013.
mMap.setOnMapLoadedCallback(new GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback() {
public void onMapLoaded() {
mMap.snapshot(new GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback() {
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap bitmap) {
// Write image to disk
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/map.png");
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
}
});
}
});
Extracted from http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.sg/2013/10/ghost-markers-in-your-neighborhood-new.html

Try for Kotlin Android like this when click on button to take google map snapshot:
val snapshotReadyCallback : GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback = GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback { selectedScreenShot ->
ivMapPreview.setImageBitmap(selectedScreenShot);
}
val onMapLoadedCallback : GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback = GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback {
mMap!!.snapshot(snapshotReadyCallback)
}
mMap!!.setOnMapLoadedCallback(onMapLoadedCallback)
Be successful.

I' ve tried the accepted answer but it didn't work then tried another approach that worked for me.
private void CaptureScreen() {
if(initMap()){
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap=null;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
saveImage(bitmap);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image Saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void saveImage(Bitmap bitmap) throws IOException{
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 40, bytes);
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "test.png");
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
fo.close();
}
};
mMap.snapshot(callback);
}
else{
Toast.makeText(this, "Map is not Initialized yet", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return ;
}
}

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/GoogleMap#snapshot(com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback, android.graphics.Bitmap)
public final void snapshot (GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback callback)
Takes a snapshot of the map. You can use snapshots within your application when an interactive map would be difficult, or impossible,
to use. For example, images produced with the snapshot() method can be
used to display a thumbnail of the map in your app, or a snapshot in
the notification center.

Capture screen shot of GoogleMap Android API V2

Final Update
The feature request has been fulfilled by Google. Please see this answer below.
Original Question
Using the old version of the Google Maps Android API, I was able to capture a screenshot of the google map to share via social media. I used the following code to capture the screenshot and save the image to a file and it worked great:
public String captureScreen()
{
String storageState = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
Log.d("StorageState", "Storage state is: " + storageState);
// image naming and path to include sd card appending name you choose for file
String mPath = this.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();
// create bitmap screen capture
Bitmap bitmap;
View v1 = this.mapView.getRootView();
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(v1.getDrawingCache());
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
OutputStream fout = null;
String filePath = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpeg";
try
{
fout = openFileOutput(filePath,
MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
// Write the string to the file
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fout);
fout.flush();
fout.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("ImageCapture", "FileNotFoundException");
Log.d("ImageCapture", e.getMessage());
filePath = "";
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("ImageCapture", "IOException");
Log.d("ImageCapture", e.getMessage());
filePath = "";
}
return filePath;
}
However, the new GoogleMap object used by V2 of the api does not have a "getRootView()" method like MapView does.
I tried to do this:
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.basicMap);
View v1 = mapFragment.getView();
But the screenshot that I get does not have any map content and looks like this:
Has anyone figured out how to take a screenshot of the new Google Maps Android API V2?
Update
I also tried to get the rootView this way:
View v1 = getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView();
This results in a screenshot that includes the action bar at the top of the screen, but the map is still blank like the screenshot I attached.
Update
A feature request has been submitted to Google. Please go star the feature request if this is something you want google to add in the future: Add screenshot ability to Google Maps API V2

Update - Google has added a snapshot method**!:
The feature request for a method to take a screen shot of the Android Google Map API V2 OpenGL layer has been fulfilled.
To take a screenshot, simply implement the following interface:
public abstract void onSnapshotReady (Bitmap snapshot)
and call:
public final void snapshot (GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback callback)
Example that takes a screenshot, then presents the standard "Image Sharing" options:
public void captureScreen()
{
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback()
{
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bitmap = snapshot;
OutputStream fout = null;
String filePath = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpeg";
try
{
fout = openFileOutput(filePath,
MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
// Write the string to the file
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fout);
fout.flush();
fout.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("ImageCapture", "FileNotFoundException");
Log.d("ImageCapture", e.getMessage());
filePath = "";
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("ImageCapture", "IOException");
Log.d("ImageCapture", e.getMessage());
filePath = "";
}
openShareImageDialog(filePath);
}
};
mMap.snapshot(callback);
}
Once the image is finished being captured, it will trigger the standard "Share Image" dialog so the user can pick how they'd like to share it:
public void openShareImageDialog(String filePath)
{
File file = this.getFileStreamPath(filePath);
if(!filePath.equals(""))
{
final ContentValues values = new ContentValues(2);
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, file.getAbsolutePath());
final Uri contentUriFile = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
final Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, contentUriFile);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share Image"));
}
else
{
//This is a custom class I use to show dialogs...simply replace this with whatever you want to show an error message, Toast, etc.
DialogUtilities.showOkDialogWithText(this, R.string.shareImageFailed);
}
}
Documentation is here

Below are the steps to capture screen shot of Google Map V2 with example
Step 1. open Android Sdk Manager (Window > Android Sdk Manager) then Expand Extras now update/install Google Play Services to Revision 10 ignore this step if already installed
Read Notes here https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/releases#august_2013
Step 2. Restart Eclipse
Step 3. import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback;
Step 4. Make Method to Capture/Store Screen/image of Map like below
public void CaptureMapScreen()
{
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/"
+ "MyMapScreen" + System.currentTimeMillis()
+ ".png");
// above "/mnt ..... png" => is a storage path (where image will be stored) + name of image you can customize as per your Requirement
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
myMap.snapshot(callback);
// myMap is object of GoogleMap +> GoogleMap myMap;
// which is initialized in onCreate() =>
// myMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_pass_home_call)).getMap();
}
Step 5. Now call this CaptureMapScreen() method where you want to capture the image
in my case i am calling this method on Button click in my onCreate() which is working fine
like:
Button btnCap = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnTakeScreenshot);
btnCap.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
CaptureMapScreen();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});

Edit: this answer is no longer valid - the feature request for screenshots on Google Maps Android API V2 has been fulfilled. See this answer for an example.
Original Accepted Answer
Since the new Android API v2 Maps are displayed using OpenGL, there are no possibilities to create a screenshot.

Since the top voted answer doesnt work with polylines and other overlays on top of the map fragment (What I was looking for), I want to share this solution.

Bitmap bmOverlay = Bitmap.createBitmap(
backBitmap.getWidth(), backBitmap.getHeight(),
backBitmap.getConfig());
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmOverlay);
canvas.drawBitmap(snapshot, new Matrix(), null);
canvas.drawBitmap(backBitmap, 0, 0, null);

I hope this would help to capture the screenshot of your map
Method call:
gmap.setOnMapLoadedCallback(mapLoadedCallback);
Method declaration:

try {
//do something with your snapshot
imageview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

};
GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback mapLoadedCallback = new GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback() {
#Override

};

Eclipse DDMS can capture the screen even it's google map V2.
Try to call /system/bin/screencap or /system/bin/screenshot if you have the "root". I learned that from How Eclipse android DDMS implement "screen capture"

how to take snapshot of google map?

I need to take snapshot of google map and save in local database. Please help me to take the snapshot of google map.
Thanks,
Monali

You can't make a print screen from inside your app unless the phone is rooted (don't have the code for that).
You can however make a print screen thru the emulator but that not the question here.
For the sake of completeness:
Emulator printscreen
You have to connect your phone via USB, go to Debug perspective in Eclipse, select the "Devices" tab, select your device in the list and click the "Screen Capture" icon.

You can see this library http://code.google.com/p/android-screenshot-library/ . It runs in background and can allow you to make screenshots without root.

Define function in button click event;
Button btnCap = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnTakeScreenshot);
btnCap.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
CaptureMapScreen();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
Here is a function CaptureMapScreen()
public void CaptureMapScreen()
{
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/"
+ "MyMapScreen" + System.currentTimeMillis()
+ ".png");
// above "/mnt ..... png" => is a storage path (where image will be stored) + name of image you can customize as per your Requirement
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
myMap.snapshot(callback);
// myMap is object of GoogleMap +> GoogleMap myMap;
// which is initialized in onCreate() =>
// myMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_pass_home_call)).getMap();
}

public void getSnapShot(){
