I'm working with Google Maps in my android app. I need to recenter the map to the client's current location. I used the following statement -
map.setmylocationenabled(true);
This displays a button on the top right but clicking that doesn't work.
The button click listener:
mMap.setOnMyLocationButtonClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationButtonClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onMyLocationButtonClick() {
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(myLatLng).title("My Location"));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(myLatLng, zoomLevel));
return false;
}
});
Just take the code from my other answer here, and modify your button click listener to request another location:
mMap.setOnMyLocationButtonClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationButtonClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onMyLocationButtonClick() {
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
return false;
}
});
The code in onLocationChanged() will then re-center the camera position, and then un-register for location updates again:
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
{
mLastLocation = location;
if (mCurrLocationMarker != null) {
mCurrLocationMarker.remove();
}
//Place current location marker
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(latLng);
markerOptions.title("Current Position");
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_MAGENTA));
mCurrLocationMarker = mGoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
//move map camera
mGoogleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(11));
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
}
}
