Hi everyone I'm using osmdroid in my application. I have a list of Latitude and Longitude sets and want to show them on the map and each one should be clickable means when I click on one of them it opens new specific activity. so how i suppose to do that ?
I want to do something just like this :
Sadly i couldn't find much information about working with osmdroid so any help would be appreciated.
This is how i used osmdroid map
mapView.setTileSource(TileSourceFactory.MAPNIK);
IMapController mapController = mapView.getController();
mapController.setZoom(9.5);
GeoPoint startPoint = new GeoPoint(34.796830, 48.514820);
mapController.setCenter(startPoint);
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
mapView.setMultiTouchControls(true);
And this is overlays with geopoints :
List<OverlayItem> mItem = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
Drawable mMarker = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.marker_default);
GeoPoint point;
if (nearestDiscountsList.size()>0) {
for (int i = 0; i < nearestDiscountsList.size(); i++) {
point = new
GeoPoint(Double.parseDouble(nearestDiscountsList.get(i).getLatitude()),
Double.parseDouble(nearestDiscountsList.get(i).getLongitude()));
OverlayItem overlayItem = new OverlayItem("Here",
"sampleDescription", point);
overlayItem.setMarker(mMarker);
mItem.add(overlayItem);
}
}
But I do not know where to add these ):
Even any sample code about this will do the job.
I utilise the following code to put a route overlay onto an OSM droid map, using code gotten from the following tutorial (http://code.google.com/p/osmbonuspack/wiki/Tutorial_1) but slightly tweaked into a custom method, rather than being used in the OnCrerate method.
Now this does route and produces a green overlay on the map. However, there is a problem exhibited from the For Loop onwards. This is because road.mNodes is always size zero indicating that no instructions are coming down.
Incidently I also inspected RoadNodes and RoadItems and both were also size zero. This means the bubbles (ExtendedOVerlayItems) are never displayed on the route.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had this problem today and managed to solve it. The problem lies with an old version of the bonus pack. I updated to version osmbonuspack_v4.1.jar from osmbonuspack_v3.8.jar and it solved the problem. I also used the MapQuestRoadManager() option as opposed to the OSRMRoadManager().However, its worth bearing in mind that when doing this a few of the super type methods changed in the bonus pack - such as the onOpen() method on ExtendedOverlayItem required its parameter to be cast after calling.
final RoadManager manager= new MapQuestRoadManager();
manager.addRequestOption("routeType=fastest");
I've used below code for show GeoPoint on Android map:
drawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.annot_start);
point = new GeoPoint((int)(startLatitude*1E6), (int)(startLongitude*1E6));
overlayItem = new OverlayItem(point, startAddress, "");
itemizedOverlay[n]= new RouteItemizedOverlay(getDrawable(drawable), mapView);
itemizedOverlay[n].addOverlay(overlayItem);
mapOverlays.add(itemizedOverlay[n]);
But the pin point is not showing on the current place, it is shown below the point.
How to pin the point on correct position?
In ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> constructor use super(boundCenterBottom(marker));. May be it helps.
I want to do the following and am kind of stuck on these for a few days:
I was trying to draw polylines (I have encoded polylines, but have managed to decode those) that move when I move the map.
The only solution that I found was for Geopoints to be transformed into screen coordinates... which won't move if I move the map.
I used HelloItemizedOverlay to add about 150 markers and it gets very very slow.
Any idea what to do? I was thinking about threads (handler).
I was looking for some sort of a timer function that executes a given function periodically, say, every 1 minute or so.
I was also looking for ways to clear the Google map from all the markers/lines, etc.
Answers given below :
1) Here's a solution that I used :
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private List<Overlay> mapOverlays;
private Projection projection;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.zoomview);
mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
projection = mapView.getProjection();
mapOverlays.add(new MyOverlay());
}
#Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
return false;
}
class MyOverlay extends Overlay{
public MyOverlay(){
}
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapv, boolean shadow){
super.draw(canvas, mapv, 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);
GeoPoint gP1 = new GeoPoint(19240000,-99120000);
GeoPoint gP2 = new GeoPoint(37423157, -122085008);
Point p1 = new Point();
Point p2 = new Point();
Path path = new Path();
Projection projection.toPixels(gP1, p1);
projection.toPixels(gP2, p2);
path.moveTo(p2.x, p2.y);
path.lineTo(p1.x,p1.y);
canvas.drawPath(path, mPaint);
}

2) Here's what worked for me :
createMarkers()
{
for(elem:bigList)
{
GeoPoint geoPoint = new GeoPoint((int)(elem.getLat()*1000000), (int) (elem.getLon()*1000000));
OverlayItem overlayItem = new OverlayItem(geoPoint, elem.getName(), elem.getData());
itemizedOverlay.addOverlay(overlayItem);
}
itemizedOverlay.populateNow();
mapOverlays.add(itemizedOverlay); //outside of for loop
}
and in MyOverlay:
public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay)
{
m_overlays.add(overlay);
}
public void populateNow()
{
populate();
}

3) The best way is to use a timer class. A very detailed description of the timer class and how to use it is given at this link :
http://life.csu.edu.au/java-tut/essential/threads/timer.html
4) I used this code :
if(!mapOverlays.isEmpty())
{
mapOverlays.clear();
mapView.invalidate();
}
Hope these answers help atleast one other person. Thanks.
I have the same problem. We are developing an iphone app and an android app at the same time. I have 2500 + map overlays. No problem on iphone; a huge performance hit on android when calling populate() after adding all overlays. (Of course, my first try was to call populate() every time after adding an overlay; a typical mistake due to google's tutorial. Now I am calling populate() just once, after all 2500+ overlays have been added to the ItemizedOverlay.)
So the single populate() call takes over 40 seconds to complete on an htc hero device. I had to put in a busy indicator; no progress bar is possible because we cannot get any information about the progress of populate().
I tried another solution: not use ItemizedOverlay but add overlays by hand, subclassing Overlay. Result: indeed it is much faster to add all those overlays to the map; however, the map becomes unusable due to constant calling of the draw() method on each overlay. In my draw method, I tried to optimize as much as possible; I do not create a bitmap every time. My draw() method looks like this:
public void draw(android.graphics.Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
// our marker bitmap already includes shadow.
// centerPoint is the geopoint where we need to put the marker.
if (!shadow) {
Point point = new Point();
mapView.getProjection().toPixels(centerPoint, point);
canvas.drawBitmap(markerBitmap, point.x, point.y, null);
}
}
Here markerBitmap is precomputed. I don't know what else I could optimize. Is there some kind of populate() call required if we are not using ItemizedOverlay??? I could not find any good answers for that.
Right now I resort to caching the ItemizedOverlay once it has been created in a background thread. This way at least the user does not have to wait every time.
For #2, I don't think you solved anything there. Your hard-to-read code is showing how to put markers on overlay and then, how to add that overlay to the map. That's exactly how I do it. I have map with around 300 hotels and it takes around 5 seconds for Android on my Nexus One to create markers. The whole thing is running inside thread and I guess I will have to do some sort of progress bar to let user know what's going on.
I am working on app that already exists on iPhone and it seems iPhone doesn't have any issues to almost instantaneously draw these 300+ markers. I'll have hard time to explain existence of progress bar to my bosses.
If anybody have idea how to optimize this process... I will be grateful.
Here is my code:
...
for (int m = 0; m < ArrList.size(); m++) {
tName = ArrList.get(m).get("name").toString();
tId = ArrList.get(m).get("id").toString();
tLat = ArrList.get(m).get("lat").toString();;
tLng = ArrList.get(m).get("lng").toString();;
try {
lat = Double.parseDouble(tLat);
lng = Double.parseDouble(tLng);
p1 = new GeoPoint(
(int) (lat * 1E6),
(int) (lng * 1E6));
OverlayItem overlayitem = new OverlayItem(p1, tName, tId);
itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
Log.d(TAG, "NumberFormatException" + e);
}
}
I know I could save some time by avoiding this String > Double conversion, but I don't feel that would give me significant saving.. or it would?
For your 4th question.... simply use the mapOverlays.clear(); method and all the previous markers will be vanished.
code:
if(!mapOverlays.isEmpty()) {
mapOverlays.clear();
mapView.invalidate();
}
Multiple number of drawable objects can be added to a single Overlay which can then be added to the map. Hence, drawing x number of overlay's for x number of objects wouldnt be necessary unless the objects are of different types. Code snippet..
..
Here, CustomPinPoint is my class which extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem>
CustomPinPoint customPinPoint = new CustomPinPoint(drawable, Main.this);
OverlayItem tempOverLayItem = new OverlayItem(
touchedPoint, "PinPoint", "PintPoint 2"); //Point One
customPinPoint.insertPinPoint(tempOverLayItem);
tempOverLayItem = new OverlayItem(new GeoPoint(
(int)(-27.34498 * 1E6), (int)(153.00724 * 1E6)), "PinPoint",
"PintPoint 2"); //Point Two
customPinPoint.insertPinPoint(tempOverLayItem);
overlayList.add(customPinPoint); //Overlay added only once
I am new to Android GPS application development.I have to show multiple location in the map and if user touches any one of the location then it should display the information about that place.Now my problem is i could not able to get the exact location in the touch event.Is there any way to get the exact pointed location of image in the overlay.
The method onTouchEvent is as follow:
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event, MapView mapView)
You can retrieve the location of the point with the following:
Projection projection = mapView.getProjection();
GeoPoint g = projection.fromPixels((int)event.getX(),(int)event.getY());
Edit:
This is just an idea. Maybe you can have a look at the doc for ItemizedOverlay, and more particularly
onTap(int index)
I guess you will have to keep track of your overlays in an array and with the index, retrieve the corresponding overlay item
Something like this might be helpful to you?
If you want to get lat and long you can use the GeoPoint tapPoint to get them.
private mapLocation getHitMapLocation(MapView mapView, GeoPoint tapPoint)
{
mapLocation hitMapLocation = null;
RectF hitTestRecr = new RectF();
Point screenCoords = new Point();
Iterator iterator = mapLocationViewer.getMapLocations().iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext()) {
mapLocation testLocation = iterator.next();
mapView.getProjection().toPixels(testLocation.getPoint(), screenCoords);
hitTestRecr.set(-bubbleIcon.getWidth()/2,-bubbleIcon.getHeight(),bubbleIcon.getWidth()/2,0);
hitTestRecr.offset(screenCoords.x,screenCoords.y);
mapView.getProjection().toPixels(tapPoint, screenCoords);
if (hitTestRecr.contains(screenCoords.x,screenCoords.y)) {
pLocation = testLocation;
break; }
}
return hitMapLocation;
