Is there any way If I have like 100 geo points added in my MapActivity and I want to show only these which are like 1000m away from my current location. The other ones should not be visible on the map.
Any suggestions?
With some help of the first answer I find this solution :
if(location != null){
Location locA = new Location("gps");
GeoPoint myLoc = new GeoPoint((int)(location.getLatitude() * 1E6), (int)(location.getLongitude() * 1E6));
mapController.animateTo(myLoc);
String sqlbars = "SELECT DISTINCT id, latitude, longitude, address, " +
" (SELECT category FROM bars_categories WHERE bar_id=bars.id) AS category " +
" FROM bars WHERE is_active=1";
Cursor curBars = dbHelper.executeSQLQuery(sqlbars);
if(curBars != null){
if(curBars.getCount() > 0){
for(curBars.move(0);curBars.moveToNext();curBars.isAfterLast()){
double latitude = curBars.getDouble(curBars.getColumnIndex("latitude"));
double longitude = curBars.getDouble(curBars.getColumnIndex("longitude"));
final List<Overlay> mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
Drawable drawable = SofiaLiveNearbyActivity.this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pin_map_icon);
int markerWidth = drawable.getIntrinsicWidth();
int markerHeight = drawable.getIntrinsicHeight();
drawable.setBounds(0, markerHeight, markerWidth, 0);
final HelloItemizedOverlay itemizedoverlay = new HelloItemizedOverlay(drawable, SofiaLiveNearbyActivity.this);
GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint((int)(latitude * 1E6),(int)(longitude *1E6));
OverlayItem overlayitem = new OverlayItem(point, "Type: "+category+"\n----------------\nAddress: "+address, id);
locA.setLatitude(latitude);
locA.setLongitude(longitude);
float distance = location.distanceTo(locA);
if(distance < 1000.0){
itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem);
mapOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);
}
}
}
curBars.close();
}
and it worked.
