Hi I have been trying to get and pinpoint the location of the phone (user current location) however I have no luck. I hope somebody can help me with the code.
Just to add some more, I am receiving a "Couldn't get connection factory client" error. Does this have something to do with the ability to return the user location?
If it helps I have been following the tutorial by thenewboston.
Or does this have something to do with my API key? But I can receive the map properly, but cannot pinpoint the user's current location
The main code:
public class Map extends MapActivity implements LocationListener{
MapView map;
long start;
long stop;
MyLocationOverlay compass;
MapController controller;
int x,y;
GeoPoint touchedPoint;
Drawable d;
List<Overlay> overlayList;
LocationManager lm;
LocationListener ll;
String towers;
int lat = 0;
int longi = 0;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
map = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.mapview);
map.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
touch t = new touch();
overlayList = map.getOverlays();
overlayList.add(t);
compass = new MyLocationOverlay(Map.this, map);
overlayList.add(compass);
controller = map.getController();
GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(832332,4121093);
controller.animateTo(point);
controller.setZoom(8);
d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pointer);
//placing location
lm =(LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria crit = new Criteria();
towers = lm.getBestProvider(crit, false);
Location loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(towers);
if(loc != null){
lat = (int) (loc.getLatitude() *1E6);
longi = (int)(loc.getLongitude()*1E6);
GeoPoint location = new GeoPoint(lat, longi);
OverlayItem overlayitem = new OverlayItem(location , "wassup", "2nd string");
CustomPinPoint custom = new CustomPinPoint(d, Map.this);
custom.insertPinPoint(overlayitem);
overlayList.add(custom);
}else{
Toast.makeText(Map.this, "Location is null", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
lm.requestLocationUpdates(towers, 1500, 1, this);
}
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
compass.disableCompass();
super.onPause();
lm.removeUpdates(this);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
compass.enableCompass();
super.onResume();
lm.requestLocationUpdates(towers, 500, 1, this);
}
I think you can ignore the alertdialog
public class touch extends Overlay {
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e, MapView m){
if(e.getAction()== MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
start = e.getEventTime();
x = (int) e.getX();
y = (int) e.getY();
touchedPoint = map.getProjection().fromPixels(x, y);
}
if(e.getAction()== MotionEvent.ACTION_UP){
stop = e.getEventTime();
}
if(stop-start >1200){
AlertDialog alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(Map.this).create();
alert.setTitle("Option");
alert.setMessage("Pick the option");
alert.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
alert.setButton("Place pointer pinpoint",

overlayList.add(custom);
}
});
alert.setButton2("Get address",

Here is the example how to do that easily, try to implement this logic into your project:
public class MyMapActivity extends MapActivity {
private MapView map;
private MapController controller;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mymap);
initMapView();
initMyLocation();
map.invalidate();
}
private void initMapView() {
map = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.map);
controller = map.getController();
map.setSatellite(true);
map.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
}
private void initMyLocation() {
final MyLocationOverlay overlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this, map);
overlay.enableMyLocation();
//overlay.enableCompass(); // does not work in emulator
overlay.runOnFirstFix(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Zoom in to current location
controller.setZoom(15);
controller.animateTo(overlay.getMyLocation());
}});
}
}
Well this is embarrassing, it turns out that my code is correct and the problem was that the device's GPS wasn't turned on. Well I hope my code can help anyone in need. Cheers!

I am trying to use the Google maps API on my android app. I have set an overlay item at a particular geopoint co-ordinate. On opening the activity, it uses the default mapview of the google map with the correct location of the overlay item for that geotpoint. My question is, how do I set the view to be zoomed in for that geopoint so one would actually see the location in a better fashion rather than having to manually zoom in by tracing the overlay item. I wish to zoom it so I can see the local area so the user can at least derive useful information from it.
My code is as follows:
/---- HelloItemizedOverlay.java -------/
public class HelloItemizedOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> {
private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
Context mContext;
public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay)
{
mOverlays.add(overlay);
populate();
}
public HelloItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker) {
super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public HelloItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker, Context context) {
super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
mContext = context;
}
#Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return mOverlays.get(i);
}
#Override
public int size() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return mOverlays.size();
}
#Override
protected boolean onTap(int index) {
OverlayItem item = mOverlays.get(index);
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
dialog.setTitle(item.getTitle());
dialog.setMessage(item.getSnippet());
dialog.show();
return true;
}

#noobcoder I have used the same example, and if i get your question right, you can use the following method to zoom to a particular point.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/reference/com/google/android/maps/MapController#animateTo(com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint, java.lang.Runnable)
It worked at least for me.
view = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.themap);
mapController = view.getController();
point = new GeoPoint((int) (38.897089* 1E6), (int) (-77.051437* 1E6));
mapControler .animateTo(point );
mapControler .setZoom(17); //Set zoom level as you want..,.
Try this..,.
I would like to know is how can I add various different icons to google maps? at the moment i can add one, but want to add different ones selected from a list or whatever to place on the map.
here is my code for MainActivity:

If someone can point me in the right direction or have a tutorial on hoe to do it would be really helpfull, as i am completey stump from this point on-wards!
Thanks.
You can use this library – Android MapView Balloons. This project provides an easy way to annotate map overlay items with a simple information balloon when using the Android Maps.
Edit: I see in your CustomPinPoint class you do not have the createItem programmed. Technically, your "CustomPinPoint" class is an overlay class; it's a single layer with multiple pinpoints. You create the layer, and add points to that layer.
Use this:
#Override
protected void createItem(Object o, Drawable d) {
OverlayItem i = new OverlayItem(<Geopoint location>,<name>,<title>);
i.setMarker(d);
pinpoints.add(i);
}
This adds a pinpoint to your layer, with a custom marker. You should populate() the layer as soon as you're done adding all the icons.
So:
CustomPinPoint pinpoint = new CustomPinPoint();
[...]
In your Map activity
pinpoint.createItem(o, d); //Where o is the object info you want the marker to be about, and d is the custom drawable.
[...]
In your Map activity
map.getOverlays(pinpoint);
Something like that. I'm really bad at explaining things, but I hope this makes sense.
Hi all I am trying to implement an overlay onto my google map. However I am receiving a fatal error at runtime and it seems to be some sort of NullPointerException.

mapView is null so get NPE first give refrences from xml file
mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView);
then get overlays
overlayList = mapView.getOverlays();
and
if(null!=overlayList&&overlayList.size()!=0){
overlayList.add(t);
}
Why NullPointerException ?
You are getting Overlay of mapview before define MapView so, you will got null pointer expection..
So first define mapview control after then use it.
mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView);
overlayList = mapView.getOverlays();
When I click the certain place in the map in android it shows the alert Dialog ? You want to save the location into particular list for example My place or Favorite so that I can move that place to particular list in.
Thanks in Advance......

Have you tried to override the onTap method in your customOverlays ?
public class CustomOverlays extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem>
{
#Override
public boolean onTap(GeoPoint arg0, MapView arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return super.onTap(arg0, arg1);
}
}
