How to get two MapFragments in the same activity - Google Map Api


I need to display two MapFragments with two different locations in an activity. In my XML file I have two MapFragments called "map" and "map_two", and in java my code in onCreate is :

com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment mapFragment = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(map);
        mapCount = 1;
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
        com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment mapFragmentTwo = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(map_two);
        mapCount = 2;
        mapFragmentTwo.getMapAsync(this);

Then I override onMapReady :

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    if (mapCount == 1){
    mMap = googleMap;
    LatLng vannes = new LatLng(47.66, -2.75);
    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(vannes).title("Vannes"));
    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(vannes));

    } else if (mapCount == 2){
        mMap = googleMap;
        LatLng bordeaux = new LatLng(44.833328, -0.56667);
        mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(bordeaux).title("Bordeaux"));
        mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(bordeaux));

    } 
}

My issue is that the two maps show the same location, whereas I want to show two different locations. Do you see how to make it ?

Thank you,

Alex


Solution

  • The best way to do that, is create 2 different callbacks for each map:

    public OnMapReadyCallback onMapReadyCallback1(){
            return new OnMapReadyCallback() {
                @Override
                public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
                    mMap = googleMap;
                    LatLng vannes = new LatLng(47.66, -2.75);
                    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(vannes).title("Vannes"));
                    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(vannes));
                }
            };
        }
    
        public OnMapReadyCallback onMapReadyCallback2(){
            return new OnMapReadyCallback() {
                @Override
                public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
                    mMap = googleMap;
                    LatLng bordeaux = new LatLng(44.833328, -0.56667);
                    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(bordeaux).title("Bordeaux"));
                    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(bordeaux));
    
                }
            };
        }
    

    After add these 2 methods in your Activity, you have to set them in your Maps:

    com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment mapFragment = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(map);
            mapCount = 1;
            mapFragment.getMapAsync(onMapReadyCallback1());
            com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment mapFragmentTwo = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(map_two);
            mapCount = 2;
            mapFragmentTwo.getMapAsync(onMapReadyCallback2());
