[Google Maps API v3] Maps on Android
I have been developing an application using the Google Maps Javascript Api v3 for over a year now. I am now faced with the need to produce an android device version. So I started to look at the Maps Api in the Android SDK - it is almost empty. - no directions service - no region biasing for displays - no geocoding What is the right way of producing map applications for android devices which match the same powerful web based apps we are able to produce now - without simply hosting a mobile specialised web site ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Maps JavaScript API v3 group.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Maps on Android
Can use the webservices directly via a HTTP interface https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/webservices/ (that caters for directions and geocoding. No idea what region biasing for displays means) On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 5:40 PM, sgiddings mr.s.giddi...@gmail.com wrote: I have been developing an application using the Google Maps Javascript Api v3 for over a year now.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Maps on Android
Thank you for your reply Barry, However, how can I reproduce other aspects such as line, polyline and polygon drawing based on lat/lng coordonnates ? Are there any full examples for creating real world mapping applications in the same manner as with the v3 javascript api ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Maps JavaScript API v3 group.

[Google Maps API v3] Maps in Android with HTML5
I'm trying to make an application using google maps with HTML5. The
idea is then to be a native application for Android (later of iPhone),
encapsulated in a WebView. The problem I have is I do not read maps
API from Android device. If I test the page from Firefox works fine,
but to which I put into the Android is no way that it works. After
many trials I have something like this:
Activity code:
package com.sts;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class PruebaActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
//webView.getSettings().setGeolocationEnabled(true);
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
webView.loadUrl(file:///android_asset/www/index.html);
}
}
index.html (In the code hit the API call is commented that the
asynchronous call, but I've tried to call uncommented.)
html
head
meta name=viewport content=initial-scale=1.0, user-
scalable=no /
script type=text/javascript src=jquery-1.5.min.js /script
script type=text/javascript src=map.js /script
!--script type=text/javascript src=http://maps.google.com/maps/
api/js?sensor=true/script--
/head
body
div id=map_canvas style=width: 100%; height: 100%
/div
button onclick=LoadMap()Hola/button
/body
/html
And map.js:
var map = null;
function LoadMap() {
alert(Entra);
var mapLayout = document.getElementById(map_canvas);
map = new google.maps.Map(mapLayout, { mapTypeId:
google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, zoom: 18 });
if (navigator.geolocation) {
alert(Si);
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
map.setCenter(new
google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,
position.coords.longitude));
});
}
else {
alert(No);
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419));
}
}
$(document).ready(function(e) {
var script = document.createElement(script);
script.type = text/javascript;
script.src = http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?
sensor=truecallback=LoadMap;
document.body.appendChild(script);
});
This works in Firefox, but since Android never gets to call LoadMap
()
If you reference the API from the HTML and the document.ready LoadMap
call (), tells me: ReferenceError: Can not find variable: google at
file: / / / android_asset / www / map.js: 8
Any idea? Thank's.
