This Activity code will provide basic functionality for including a Google Map using a SupportMapFragment.
The Google Maps V2 API includes an all-new way to load maps.
Activities now have to implement the OnMapReadyCallBack interface, which comes with a onMapReady() method override that is executed every time we run SupportMapFragment.getMapAsync(OnMapReadyCallback); and the call is successfully completed.
Maps use Markers, Polygons and PolyLines to show interactive information to the user.
MapsActivity.java:
public class MapsActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
// Add a marker in Sydney, Australia, and move the camera.
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}
}
Notice that the code above inflates a layout, which has a SupportMapFragment nested inside the container Layout, defined with an ID of R.id.map. The layout file is shown below:
activity_maps.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
<fragment
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/map"
tools:context="com.example.app.MapsActivity"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>
</LinearLayout>
This is the Basic Google Map integration
