I want to generate map link and want send mail of that link. when user will click on that link map should be opened in the browser with that location.I have generated the link and also it shows the location but problem is it does not shows the pin for current location.How to modify the link so that i can get the pin on map. The link which i have generated is as follows,
https://www.google.com/maps/preview/#"+latitude+","+longitude+",16z

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=latitude&mlon=longitude#map=zoom/latitude/longitude
where mlat and mlon specifiy the position of the marker.

Android- Draw Path from KML File in MapView

I've been working on this for a while now, but I still have not gotten the result I'm looking for. I'm trying to create an app to display our mountain bike trails so you can see where you are when you're on them. I started by manually copying coordinates from my kml file and pasting them as Geopoints with this code which worked until I got to point 80. Then the LogCat gave an error rejecting large method, and I still have hundreds more to go:

Then I tried to parse the kml file as in this example: How to draw a path on a map using kml file?
But this is taking my coordinates and finding the nearest streets and overlaying a route. My coordinates are not along the street they are in a park off road, so how else should I do it?
Right now I'm open to any suggestions. Is there a better way to parse the kml file, do it locally vs going to http://maps.google.com/maps?, overlaying it as an image, or a whole new direction completely... Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Android map performance with > 800 overlays of KML data

I have some a shape file which I have converted to a KML file that I wish to read coordinates from and then draw paths between the coordinates on a MapView. With the help of this great post: How to draw a path on a map using kml file? I have been able to read the the KML into an ArrayList of "Placemarks". This great blog post then showed how to take a list of GeoPoints and draw a path: http://djsolid.net/blog/android---draw-a-path-array-of-points-in-mapview
The example in the above post only draws one path between some points however and since I have many more paths than that I am running into some performance problems. I'm currently adding a new RouteOverlay for each of the separate paths. This results in me having over 800 overlays when they have all been added. This has a performance hit and I would love some input on what I can do to improve it.
Here are some options I have considered:
Try to add all the points to a List which then can be passed into a class that will extend Overlay. In that new class perhaps it would be possible to add and draw the paths in a single Overlay layer? I'm not sure on how to implement this though since the paths are not always intersecting and they have different start and end points. At the moment I'm adding each path which has several points to it's own list and then I add that to an Overlay. That results in over 700 overlays...
Simplify the KML or SHP. Instead of having over 700 different paths, perhaps there is someway to merge them into perhaps 100 paths or less? Since alot of paths are intersected at some point it should be possible to modify the original SHP file so that it merges all intersections. Since I have never worked with these kinds of files before I have not been able to find a way to do this in GQIS. If someone knows how to do this I would love for some input on that. Here is a link to the group of shape files if you are interested:

Edit: There are of course some more files I'm using but that I have not posted. You can download the complete Eclipse project here: http://danielkvist.net/se.zip
Have you considered rendering all the paths to a bitmap and then use that as a overlay, and of-course you would need to render it again if the user zooms in or out or moves the map alot. Making the bitmap 2 or 4 times as large as the screen (be care-full not to use up all memory here) you should be able to get some zooming in and out a-swell as allow for a bit of panning until you need to render it again.
Rendering it like a quad-tree (with week references to the bitmaps in the tree) would allow for some caching and possibly big performance improvements.
Going with a quad-tree is not an easy approach but might be worth the effort if you have the time and knowledge for it. I believe this roughly is how the google maps handles its map tiles.

Here I get x,y=0,0 for the geopoint 34.123018,-118.146278;
and again I get x,y=240,340 when I re-run the app.
If I clear data, I get x,y=0,0
and then When I re-run I get different value for the same aforementioned lat/long.
It would be a great help if anyone can clear my conception
EDITED:
I have found the reason, which is totally unusual to me.
The projection value to pixel may vary.
as http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/reference/com/google/android/maps/MapView.html#getProjection%28%29 says that
"The Projection of the map in its current state. You should not hold on to this object for more than one draw, since the projection of the map could change."
So, x,y can be 0,0 or can be anything. Whatever might be the projected x,y value is, it will always represent same lat,long.
The problem that leads me to such thinking unfortunately was the following line:
T=((x3+(w*w*x1)+(w*y3)-(w*x1))/(w*w+1));
It provides different value. If I break this into 3 lines then T provides correct result. Though, I never had to face such situation in C++. This is something weird.
Anyway, I would still want to know the reason behind the value of the projection being different.
I believe the answer to your question is that the zoom function in MapView is animated, that means it doesn’t complete immediately. So, the different projections you are getting results from them being taken during the zoom animation where the locations in the map are changing at the same time you are taking them.
To confirm that, you can make a delay of a couple of seconds between the map center/zoom change and taking the projections and you should always get the same projection values.
Good luck,
Luis

Google Map key in Android?

I am developing an android app in which i have to show map view i have done it once in a previous app but the key i used in the previous is not working int his app .
It is just showing a pin in the application with blank screen.
Do i have to use a different Map key for each project , If not Kindly help me how can i use my previous Key in this.
and also I tried generating a new key but gave the the same key back .
Here is the code i used
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.map);
btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.mapbtn);
str1=getIntent().getStringExtra("LATITUDE");
str2=getIntent().getStringExtra("LONGITUDE");
mapView = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.mapView1);
//View zoomView = mapView.getZoomControls();
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
//mapView.setSatellite(true);
mc = mapView.getController();
btn.setOnClickListener(this);
MapOverlay mapOverlay = new MapOverlay();
List<Overlay> listOfOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
listOfOverlays.clear();
listOfOverlays.add(mapOverlay);
String coordinates[] = {str1, str2};
double lat = Double.parseDouble(coordinates[0]);
double lng = Double.parseDouble(coordinates[1]);
p = new GeoPoint(
(int) (lat * 1E6),
(int) (lng * 1E6));
mc.animateTo(p);
mc.setZoom(17);
mapView.invalidate();
//mp.equals(o);
}
#Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
class MapOverlay extends com.google.android.maps.Overlay
{
#Override
public boolean draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView,
boolean shadow, long when)
{
super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);
Paint mPaint = new Paint();
mPaint.setDither(true);
mPaint.setColor(Color.RED);
mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
mPaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
mPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
mPaint.setStrokeWidth(2);
//---translate the GeoPoint to screen pixels---
Point screenPts = new Point();
mapView.getProjection().toPixels(p, screenPts);
//---add the marker---
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.pin);
canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, screenPts.x, screenPts.y-50, null);
return true;
}
Thanks....
amandeep there are two kinds of key for maps debug key and release key
debug key is for your system on which you are developping your application
that can be used for every application and the seconde one is release key that is different for every application and for each application you have to create new one
http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/mapkey.html
Difference between Debug and Signing key
Map Key is Only restricted to a Single Machine as it includes Java libraries, JDK and all, so debug.keystore is also a single file and by this you will always get a UNIQUE Map Key.
You will have to Generatea new Map Key only when you Shift your Machine(CPU) or reinstall your OS.
Another advice to Just remove code of Overlay and just Check it again is it working fine. Or there is a problem in Overlay Class. Clean and Rebuild the Application.
Hope you have given these permissions also.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
Are you trying to run the app on emulator? if yes Then use the default key , I f you are signing out the apk then running on a device use the same key to sign as you used for the last app and use the generated google map api key .
Are you getting grids as output ??
Two possible reasons key or internet(internet over proxy)

to see marker you need to do next
Drawable drawable = ...set your marker drawable
drawable.setBounds(-drawable.getIntrinsicWidth() / 2, -drawable.getIntrinsicHeight(), drawable.getIntrinsicWidth() / 2, 0);
overlayitem.setMarker(drawable);
Just to make things clear here is a quote from reference
"The setBounds(Rect) method must be called to tell the Drawable where it is drawn and how large it should be."
Your code has one minor mistake.
Change
Rect dst = new Rect( top_left.x, bottom_right.y,bottom_right.x,top_left.y );
to
Rect dst = new Rect( top_left.x, top_left.y,bottom_right.x,bottom_right.y );
and you should be good.
Remember that draw() is called each time the overlay needs to be rendered. When the map is being moved by the user, this could happen multiple times per second!!
You need to load the resource only ONCE, then only draw the bitmap onto the canvas during the draw invocation.
Also, your current implementation is highly coupled with the actual Activity.
in your activity
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
...
map.getOverlays().add(new PNGMapOverlay(getResources(), R.drawable.bitmap_id));
}
// allows re-factoring into separate class/file
class MapOverlay extends com.google.android.maps.Overlay
{
private Bitmap bitmap;
public MapOverlay(Resources resources, int resourceId) {
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(resources, resourceId);
}
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
...
canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, src, dst, null);
}
}
Change this code
min = new GeoPoint((int)(lat1 * 1E6), (int)(lng2 * 1E6)); // bounding rectangle
max = new GeoPoint((int)(lat2 * 1E6), (int)(lng1 * 1E6));
instead of
min = new GeoPoint((int)(lat1 * 1E6), (int)(lng1 * 1E6)); // bounding rectangle
max = new GeoPoint((int)(lat2 * 1E6), (int)(lng2 * 1E6));
and try its working.
You have to add overlays into your listOfOverlays. Then only it will be shown on the map. For that you have to create an overlayitem using ur geopoint and then add it to the list of overlays.
For eg:
GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint((int) (latitude * 1E6), (int) (longitude * 1E6));
OverlayItem overlayItem = new OverlayItem(point, "", "");
listOfOverlays.addOverlay(overlayItem);
mapView.invalidate();
Try and see. If you face any issue, please add as comments.
I just spent ages pulling my hair out with the same problem as you. Turned out removing android:layout_weight="1" from my MapView declaration resolved the problem. Don't ask me why!
