[android-beginners] Re: Using google Maps

[Friso Kluit]

What is the reason for removing the driving / walking directions from the 1.0 
SDK? Is there an alternative we can use?

You can use MapView APIs for android:
http://code.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/maps/MapView.html

Check out MapView sample code at ApiDemps/Views/MapViewDemo.
Unfortunately, the directions API  is not included for 1.0 release.

Anyone has some sample code which i can look at for me to start off
interfacing with Maps. In my app i will need to get from place A to B
showing me with the use of an arrow the direction i should take. (i.e
similar to a GPS system). I am very new to android :(.
Thanks to all that can help me.

[android-beginners] Re: LocationManager.getCurrentLocation

[Friso Kluit]

Thanks, that helped. But now I am facing another problem entering a simulated 
route in the emulator. I am using the DDMS, downloaded some GPX files, but none 
of them work in the Location Controls. Same for KML files created with Google. 
Where can I find some sample GPX or KML files that are compatible with the 
emulator?

Thanks again,
Friso

There is also more details on using the location API here:
http://code.google.com/android/toolbox/apis/lbs.html

I also placed sample source code that illustrates use of a
LocationListener here:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/files
(see LocationSample.zip):

I hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any additional
questions.

[android-beginners] LocationManager.getCurrentLocation

[Friso Kluit]

Hi,

I just installed the beta 0.9 this morning and facing some trouble with the GPS 
service. The below code fragment worked in m5, but the getCurrentProvider 
property is not available in beta 0.9 anymore.

What is the new way of getting current location?

Cheers,
Friso

this.myLocationManager = 
(LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

LocationProvider provider = this.myLocationManager.getProvider("gps");
this.myLocation = myLocationManager.getCurrentLocation(provider.getName());

// Create a new textview to display longitude / latitude
TextView tv = new TextView(this);

String lat = "Lat: " + myLocation.getLatitude();
String lon = "Lon: " + myLocation.getLongitude();
tv.setText(lat + "\n" + lon);

setContentView(tv);
