check if Latlng is inside polygon

Question

I'm drawing Polygon on city in order to check if current position is inside this polygon or not, and i'm doing that with below code:-

 ArrayList<LatLng> polyLoc = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
polyLoc.add(new LatLng(24.643932, 46.297718));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(24.695098, 46.555897));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(24.921971, 46.476246));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(25.147185, 46.366383));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(25.155886, 47.249409));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(24.929444, 47.346913));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(24.691355, 47.106587));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(24.449060, 47.219197));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(24.293947, 46.973377));
    polyLoc.add(new LatLng(24.641436, 46.299092));

And i checking if the current position is inside this polygon or not by this way :-

if (hasPermission() && gpsTracker.canGetLocation()) {
        if (isPointInPolygon(new LatLng(gpsTracker.getLatitude(), gpsTracker.getLongitude()), polyLoc)) {
            cash.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            cashIcon.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        } else {
            cash.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            cashIcon.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
        Log.d(TAG, "reservationDialog: " + gpsTracker.getLatitude() + gpsTracker.getLongitude());
    }

here is my isPointInPolygon method :

private boolean isPointInPolygon(LatLng tap, ArrayList<LatLng> vertices) {
    int intersectCount = 0;
    for (int j = 0; j < vertices.size() - 1; j++) {
        if (rayCastIntersect(tap, vertices.get(j), vertices.get(j + 1))) {
            intersectCount++;
        }
    }

    return ((intersectCount % 2) == 1); // odd = inside, even = outside;
}

private boolean rayCastIntersect(LatLng tap, LatLng vertA, LatLng vertB) {

    double aY = vertA.latitude;
    double bY = vertB.latitude;
    double aX = vertA.longitude;
    double bX = vertB.longitude;
    double pY = tap.latitude;
    double pX = tap.longitude;

    if ((aY > pY && bY > pY) || (aY < pY && bY < pY)
            || (aX < pX && bX < pX)) {
        return false; // a and b can't both be above or below pt.y, and a or
        // b must be east of pt.x
    }

    double m = (aY - bY) / (aX - bX); // Rise over run
    double bee = (-aX) * m + aY; // y = mx + b
    double x = (pY - bee) / m; // algebra is neat!

    return x > pX;
}

I don't know why it's not working, what i'v missed here?

Answer 1

I don't know why your code didn't work.

But you can use PolyUtil.containsLocation (new LatLng (latitude, longitude), polyLoc, true)

This would return false if the position outside the polygon.
