GoogleMap

public class GoogleMap extends Object

This is the main class of the Google Maps SDK for Android and is the entry point for all methods related to the map. You cannot instantiate a GoogleMap object directly, rather, you must obtain one from the getMapAsync() method on a MapFragment or MapView that you have added to your application.

Note: Similar to a View object, a GoogleMap can only be read and modified from the Android UI thread. Calling GoogleMap methods from another thread will result in an exception.

You can adjust the viewpoint of a map by changing the position of the camera (as opposed to moving the map). You can use the map's camera to set parameters such as location, zoom level, tilt angle, and bearing. For more information, see Camera and View.

IllegalArgumentException if the TileProvider is unspecified in the options.

public final void animateCamera (CameraUpdate update, GoogleMap.CancelableCallback callback)

Animates the movement of the camera from the current position to the position defined in the update and calls an optional callback on completion. See CameraUpdateFactory for a set of updates.

During the animation, a call to getCameraPosition() returns an intermediate location of the camera.

Parameters
update The change that should be applied to the camera.
callback The callback to invoke from the Android UI thread when the animation stops. If the animation completes normally, GoogleMap.CancelableCallback.onFinish() is called; otherwise, GoogleMap.CancelableCallback.onCancel() is called. Do not update or animate the camera from within GoogleMap.CancelableCallback.onCancel().

public final void animateCamera (CameraUpdate update)

Animates the movement of the camera from the current position to the position defined in the update. During the animation, a call to getCameraPosition() returns an intermediate location of the camera.

See CameraUpdateFactory for a set of updates.

Parameters
update The change that should be applied to the camera.

public final void animateCamera (CameraUpdate update, int durationMs, GoogleMap.CancelableCallback callback)

Moves the map according to the update with an animation over a specified duration, and calls an optional callback on completion. See CameraUpdateFactory for a set of updates.

If getCameraPosition() is called during the animation, it will return the current location of the camera in flight.

Parameters
update
durationMs The duration of the animation in milliseconds. This must be strictly positive, otherwise an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
callback An optional callback to be notified from the Android UI thread when the animation stops. If the animation stops due to its natural completion, the callback will be notified with GoogleMap.CancelableCallback.onFinish(). If the animation stops due to interruption by a later camera movement or a user gesture, GoogleMap.CancelableCallback.onCancel() will be called. The callback should not attempt to move or animate the camera in its cancellation method. If a callback isn't required, leave it as null.

public final void clear ()

Removes all markers, polylines, polygons, overlays, etc from the map.

public final CameraPosition getCameraPosition ()

Gets the current position of the camera.

The CameraPosition returned is a snapshot of the current position, and will not automatically update when the camera moves.

For more information about changing the camera's position, see Camera and View.

Returns
  • The current position of the Camera.

public IndoorBuilding getFocusedBuilding ()

Gets the currently focused building.

Returns
  • The current focused building or null if no building is focused.

public MapCapabilities getMapCapabilities ()

Returns the MapCapabilities instance.

Gets the type of map that's currently displayed. See MAP_TYPE_NORMAL, MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE, MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN for possible values.

Returns
  • The map type.

public final float getMaxZoomLevel ()

Returns the maximum zoom level for the current camera position. This takes into account what map type is currently being used, e.g., satellite or terrain may have a lower max zoom level than the base map tiles.

Note: This returns the maximum zoom level supported by the Google Maps API for the current camera position, and not the zoom level preference previously requested in setMaxZoomPreference(float).

For more information about changing the camera's zoom level, see Camera and View.

Returns
  • The maximum zoom level available at the current camera position.

public final float getMinZoomLevel ()

Returns the minimum zoom level. This is the same for every location (unlike the maximum zoom level) but may vary between devices and map sizes.

Note: This returns the minimum zoom level supported by the Google Maps API, and not the zoom level preference previously requested in setMinZoomPreference(float).

For more information about changing the camera's zoom level, see Camera and View.

Returns
  • The minimum zoom level available.

public final Location getMyLocation ()

This method is deprecated.
Use com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderApi instead. FusedLocationProviderApi provides improved location finding and power usage and is used by the "My Location" blue dot. See the MyLocationDemoActivity in the sample applications folder for example code, or the Location Developer Guide.

Returns the currently displayed user location, or null if there is no location data available.

Returns
Throws
IllegalStateException if the my-location layer is not enabled.

public final Projection getProjection ()

Returns a Projection object that you can use to convert between screen coordinates and latitude/longitude coordinates.

The Projection returned is a snapshot of the current projection, and will not automatically update when the camera moves. As this operation is expensive, you should get the projection only once per screen. Google Maps uses the Mercator projection to create its maps from geographic data and convert points on the map into geographic coordinates.

public final boolean isTrafficEnabled ()

Checks whether the map is drawing traffic data. This is subject to the availability of traffic data.

Returns
  • true if traffic data is enabled; false otherwise.

public final void moveCamera (CameraUpdate update)

Repositions the camera according to the instructions defined in the update. The move is instantaneous, and a subsequent getCameraPosition() will reflect the new position. See CameraUpdateFactory for a set of updates.

Parameters
update The change that should be applied to the camera.

public final void removeOnMapCapabilitiesChangedListener (GoogleMap.OnMapCapabilitiesChangedListener listener)

Removes a listener that's invoked when the map capabilities are changed.

public void resetMinMaxZoomPreference ()

Removes any previously specified upper and lower zoom bounds.

public final void setBuildingsEnabled (boolean enabled)

Turns the 3D buildings layer on or off.

Parameters
enabled true to enable the 3D buildings layer; false to disable 3D buildings.

public final void setContentDescription (String description)

Sets a contentDescription for the map.

This is used to provide a spoken description of the map in accessibility mode. The default value is "Google Map"

Parameters
description a string to use as a description.

public final boolean setIndoorEnabled (boolean enabled)

Sets whether indoor maps should be enabled. Currently, indoor maps can only be shown on one map at a time and by default, this is the first map added to your application. To enable indoor maps on another map, you must first disable indoor maps on the original map. If you try to enable indoor maps when it is enabled on another map, nothing will happen and this will return false. When Indoor is not enabled for a map, all methods related to indoor will return null, or false.

Parameters
enabled true to try to enable indoor maps; false to disable indoor maps.
Returns
  • whether it was possible to enable indoor maps.

public final void setInfoWindowAdapter (GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter adapter)

Sets a custom renderer for the contents of info windows.

Like the map's event listeners, this state is not serialized with the map. If the map gets re-created (e.g., due to a configuration change), you must ensure that you call this method again in order to preserve the customization.

Parameters
adapter The adapter to use for info window contents, or null to use the default content rendering in info windows.

public void setLatLngBoundsForCameraTarget (LatLngBounds bounds)

Specifies a LatLngBounds to constrain the camera target, so that when users scroll and pan the map, the camera target does not move outside these bounds.

Set to null to clear the bounding box completely. The new bounds replaces any previously specified bounding box.

When the LatLngBounds changes, the SDK adjusts all later camera updates to respect those bounds if possible. Note that there are technical considerations that may prevent the SDK from keeping the camera target strictly within the bounds. For example, floating point precision rounding errors or a very low zoom level.

Parameters
bounds The bounds to constrain the camera target within.

public final void setLocationSource (LocationSource source)

Replaces the location source of the my-location layer.

Parameters
source A location source to use in the my-location layer. Set to null to use the default location source.

public boolean setMapStyle (MapStyleOptions style)

Sets the styling of the base map.

Using the style options, you can apply custom styles to features and elements on the map. See MapStyleOptions for style definition details.

Parameters
style Map style options. Set to null to clear any previous custom styling.
Returns
  • true if the style was successfully parsed; false if problems were detected with the MapStyleOptions, including, e.g. unparsable styling JSON, unrecognized feature type, unrecognized element type, or invalid styler keys. If the return value is false, the current style is left unchanged.

public final void setMapType (int type)

Sets the type of map tiles that should be displayed. The allowable values are:

Parameters
type The type of map to display.

public void setMaxZoomPreference (float maxZoomPreference)

Sets a preferred upper bound for the camera zoom.

When the maximum zoom changes, the SDK adjusts all later camera updates to respect that maximum if possible. Note that there are technical considerations that may prevent the SDK from allowing users to zoom too deep into the map. For example, satellite or terrain may have a lower maximum zoom than the base map tiles.

The SDK resolves any conflicts in the minimum and maximum values. If you set the minimum zoom to a higher zoom level than the current maximum, then the SDK uses the new minimum value for both minimum and maximum. If you set the maximum zoom to a lower zoom level than the minimum, the SDK uses the new maximum value for both minimum and maximum. For example: Assume the current minimum zoom is 8 and the maximum is 14. Then you set the maximum zoom to 6. The SDK uses a minimum zoom of 6 and a maximum zoom of 6.

Parameters
maxZoomPreference The preferred upper bound.

public void setMinZoomPreference (float minZoomPreference)

Sets a preferred lower bound for the camera zoom.

When the minimum zoom changes, the SDK adjusts all later camera updates to respect that minimum if possible. Note that there are technical considerations that may prevent the SDK from allowing users to zoom too low.

The SDK resolves any conflicts in the minimum and maximum values. If you set the minimum zoom to a higher zoom level than the current maximum, then the SDK uses the new minimum value for both minimum and maximum. If you set the maximum zoom to a lower zoom level than the minimum, the SDK uses the new maximum value for both minimum and maximum. For example: Assume the current minimum zoom is 8 and the maximum is 14. Then you set the minimum zoom to 16. The SDK uses a minimum zoom of 16 and a maximum zoom of 16.

Parameters
minZoomPreference The preferred lower bound.

public final void setMyLocationEnabled (boolean enabled)

Enables or disables the my-location layer.

While enabled and the location is available, the my-location layer continuously draws an indication of a user's current location and bearing, and displays UI controls that allow a user to interact with their location (for example, to enable or disable camera tracking of their location and bearing).

In order to use the my-location-layer feature you need to request permission for either ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION unless you have set a custom location source.

If you have set a custom location source via setLocationSource(LocationSource) the Google Maps SDK for Android will not check whether the above permissions have been granted. However, you still need to make sure that the user has granted all the permissions required for your custom location source.

Parameters
enabled true to enable; false to disable.
Throws
SecurityException if location permission is not granted.

Sets a callback that's invoked when the My Location dot (which signifies the user's location) is clicked.

Parameters
listener The callback that's invoked when the My Location dot is clicked.

public final void setOnPoiClickListener (GoogleMap.OnPoiClickListener listener)

Sets a listener which will be triggered when a POI is clicked or tapped.

Parameters
listener Listener for POI click and tap events. Pass null to clear the listener.

public final void setOnPolygonClickListener (GoogleMap.OnPolygonClickListener listener)

Sets a callback that's invoked when a polygon is clicked.

Parameters
listener The callback that's invoked when a polygon is clicked. To unset the callback, use null.

public final void setOnPolylineClickListener (GoogleMap.OnPolylineClickListener listener)

Sets a callback that's invoked when a polyline is clicked.

Parameters
listener The callback that's invoked when a polyline is clicked. To unset the callback, use null.

public final void setPadding (int left, int top, int right, int bottom)

Sets padding on the map.

This method allows you to define a visible region on the map, to signal to the map that portions of the map around the edges may be obscured, by setting padding on each of the four edges of the map. Map functions will be adapted to the padding. For example, the zoom controls, compass, copyright notices and Google logo will be moved to fit inside the defined region, camera movements will be relative to the center of the visible region, etc.

Parameters
left the number of pixels of padding to be added on the left of the map.
top the number of pixels of padding to be added on the top of the map.
right the number of pixels of padding to be added on the right of the map.
bottom the number of pixels of padding to be added on the bottom of the map.

public final void setTrafficEnabled (boolean enabled)

Turns the traffic layer on or off.

public final void snapshot (GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback callback, Bitmap bitmap)

Takes a snapshot of the map.

This method is equivalent to snapshot(SnapshotReadyCallback) but lets you provide a preallocated Bitmap. If the bitmap does not match the current dimensions of the map, another bitmap will be allocated that fits the map's dimensions.

Although in most cases the object passed by the callback method is the same as the one given in the parameter to this method, in some cases the returned object can be different (e.g., if the view's dimensions have changed by the time the snapshot is actually taken). Thus, you should only trust the content of the bitmap passed by the callback method.

Parameters
callback Callback method invoked when the snapshot is taken.
bitmap A preallocated bitmap. If null, behaves like snapshot(SnapshotReadyCallback).

public final void snapshot (GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback callback)

Takes a snapshot of the map.

You can use snapshots within your application when an interactive map would be difficult, or impossible, to use. For example, images produced with the snapshot() method can be used to display a thumbnail of the map in your app, or a snapshot in the notification center.

Note: Images of the map must not be transmitted to your servers, or otherwise used outside of the application. If you need to send a map to another application or user, send data that allows them to reconstruct the map for the new user instead of a snapshot.

Parameters
callback Callback method invoked when the snapshot is taken.

public final void stopAnimation ()

Stops the camera animation if there is one in progress. When the method is called, the camera stops moving immediately and remains in that position.
