I tried to implement the google map(android way) into my glass GDK application but It seems like glass does not support that at this moment. Is there anyway I can show a mapview in the gdk application? or do I have to show it through the mirror api map?
P.S
This is what I see when I try to show the map on glass. Any thought?
Pardon the reference to documentation, but read about location on Glass
Google Play Services is not available on Google Glass (at least not yet).
If you need maps, we are testing on google glasses our map API and now is working. Please take a look to:

I am trying to create an application that casts the google home response to chromecast. For example when asked from google home. "ok, google show me the recipe for pizza on TV". Google home should cast the instructions for making a pizza on my TV. Very similar to what it does for Netflix.
I haven't seen any tutorials for it or not even sure if API for this is available from Google. They showed the example for the same thing using calendar in this year's Google I/O.
If you know how to do this or know of a tutorial that can help me with this. Any pointers in right directions will be helpful.
I am also open to using Google Assistant on my phone instead of using Google Home.
Although Chromecast integration has been announced, it is not available yet, wasn't clear exactly what this integration would look like, or when it would be available.
I am trying to make an app which tracks the path of the user. I wish to use the google maps API for this. I know there is a specific "tracking API" but that is deprecated now. I used the tutorial at http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/beginners-guide-location-android but that only shows me my location. It doesn't show how to track.
I tried to use the google developers support documents, but its simply too confusing. I am a beginner, so if someone could just guide me I'd appreciate it. Kindly assume I know JUST the basics.
I have watched tutorials on how to integrate google maps in an android application. Before I put google maps in my android application, I want to know if you need internet connection to run the application that runs google maps?
--------------------Answer to question above has been solved---------------------
I have another question. What are the things that an offline map can do? Can the offline map do pathfinding? Can you get coordinates, distances and other map data from it? Or is it just a map that can only be viewed?
If you have watched tutorials about that you might have noted that the maps api needs permission.INTERNET which is also obvious as the maps need to be loaded from Google. How else should they come to your device or simulator?
I'm looking for information about how to create customized google map for Android. This question came into my head after I saw the Ingress game app. Does anyone of you know, how map work work in this application ?
I've read that you can create your own customized map using Maps Api v3 on Web and display it using WebView, but this doesn't seems to work like this.
Ingress on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticproject.ingress
Style Map feature is for you :)
have a look https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling
I'm trying to understand what i'm asking for...
I googled around with no success (of course, starting from official google developer site).
The result i would like achieve is the same behavior official Maps app from Google has, choosing to "make available offline" a part of the map and saving a selected area.
Does anyone know how to do it (if possible)? Can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
The Maps V2 API, at this time, does not give us any ability to control offline maps.
