A simple library to easily add Google static maps to your app.
- provides a UI widget to automatically determine map size and scale based which can be incorporated into an XML layout
- generates map URL and pulls the API key from the application's manifest
- also contains a LocationButton widget which can display a current/saved location and toggle between them interactively
To use, add this project as an Android library project and then add this to the
<application /> section of your manifest:
<meta-data
android:name="edu.mit.mobile.android.maps.GOOGLE_STATIC_MAPS_API_KEY"
android:value="AAeeSUeOKuhEuEu3eu43E2ue#jueEEuuU3hwm0" />
You can then either use the GoogleStaticMapView and register an
OnMapUpdateListener to get automatic map size updates, or you can directly
use the GoogleStaticMap class to generate the URL.
If you use the GoogleStaticMapView widget, we recommend using our
ImageCache library to make it easier to asynchronously load / cache
rendered maps.
