Google Map Tutorial Android (Advance)

Hello Android Guys...hope you doing great!!

We know already how to get Google map in our Android App see my earlier tutorial post
Google Map Tutorial Android (Basic)

Note: Because we need to Get Google map API key to Get map in our app
I have wrote step by step simple tutorial see and put in you main.xml file see below

Obtain Google Maps Android API Key

Okay so today we are going to add some more new things to our Google Maps

1. Enter location name and Go to particular location
2. Bookmark location (POI) place of interest on map
3. Get the location name/coordinates where you touched on map
4. Zoom-in and Zoom-out map location

Let's start coding stuff..create an Android app with

-------------------------------------------
App Name: GoogleMapAdvance
Package Name: com.rdc
Android SDK: Android SDK 2.3.3 / Google API 10
Default MapActivity Name: ActivityGoogleMap
-------------------------------------------

 }

 // create inner class to add marker at any place on g-map

   return true;
  }

  // get the location where you touched on map
  @Override

    Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(getBaseContext(),

     String add = "";
     if (addresses.size() > 0) {
      for (int i = 0; i < addresses.get(0)
        .getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++)
      add += addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(i) + "\n";
     }

    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return true;
   } else
    return false;
  }

 }

}

main.xml

Note: make sure you must have Google Map API key to put in Map View in main.xml file
(This is the mistake often made by newbie)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout

  android:weightSum="1">
  <Button

 </LinearLayout>
<!-- you need to replace your Google map API key here see apiKey="" -->
</LinearLayout>

and Manifest file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 package="com.rdc.gmap"
 android:versionCode="1"

   <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
   <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
   </intent-filter>
  </activity>

 </application>
</manifest>

Default Output screen will load as Bangalore and Mark it

if you touch any place on map it shows details like this

when you enter any location and click Go...it loads new location...

Google Map Tutorial Android (Basic)

In this tutorial we will learn how can we add google map into our android app in a very easy & simple way.

Note: Because the Maps library is not a part of the standard Android library, you must remember four things at-least to get G-Map in our app .

1. Obtaining a Google Maps Android API Key to get G-Map view in our app.
2.Select Android SDK with Google APIs (when create new app)
3. We need to extends MapActivity
4. Your emulator also created with Google API SDK to run Google map apps (before run app).

so let's try this small app

First is first: Obtain Google Maps Android API
***************************************************************************
1. Create a folder in C drive called "C:\Android"

2. Go to this path "C:\Program Files\Java\<JDK_version_number>\bin"
or where you installed java, copy "keytool.exe" file and put in our created folder " Android ".

3. Now we need to look for "debug.keystore" for probably you can find here

Windows Vista: C:\Users\\.android\debug.keystore
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\.android\debug.keystore
OS X and Linux: ~/.android/debug.keystore

In my system i got here "C:\Users\RDC\.android\debug.keystore"

Now copy this file and put into our folder " Android "

4. open command prompt and go to bin folder in prompt.
then hit command
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we need to copy MD5 key so right click on command prompt and "mark" then copy and save in Text file. see below image...

Copy MD5 key and open this developer-page and sign in.
then paste here MD5 fingerprint and Generate API key this way

after generating key the result screen will be

you can use this key whenever wants to develop Google map app in this development environment only.

Okay Great!! now we are ready to go...make sure don't use mine key its valid only for my development environment so use your own key :D

*****************************************************************************

Let's create new android app this way..

-------------------------------------------
App Name: AlertBoxBasic
Package Name: com.rdc
Android SDK: Android SDK 2.3.3 / API 10
Default MapActivity Name: ActivityGoogleMap
-------------------------------------------

ActivityGoogleMap.java

package com.rdc.gmap;

import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;

public class ActivityGoogleMap extends MapActivity {
    
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        //to add zoom in and zoom out default buttons
        MapView mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView);
        mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    }
    
    @Override
 protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  return false;
 }
}

look important Google API key in main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:orientation="vertical"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent">
 <com.google.android.maps.MapView
  android:id="@+id/mapView"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:enabled="true"
  android:clickable="true"
  android:apiKey="0iuCzAK4N1AoTya_fr62sB7NXXPqkWqF-OCNMEg" />

</LinearLayout>

and Manifest file must be like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 package="com.rdc.gmap"
 android:versionCode="1"
 android:versionName="1.0">
 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
 <application
  android:icon="@drawable/icon"
  android:label="@string/app_name">

  <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
  <activity
   android:name=".ActivityGoogleMap"
   android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
   android:label="@string/app_name">
   <intent-filter>
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
   <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
   </intent-filter>
  </activity>

 </application>
</manifest>

Now create Emulator using Google API SDK see below image

The output Screen will be like this..

วิธี Root ตระกูล Galaxy v. 2.3.6 + All phone และรุ่นอื่นๆได้หลายรุ่นครับตัวนี้

ไฟล์ คลิก

ขึ้นตอนการ Root

1.หลังจากได้ไฟล์ Universal_GB_ROOT_v8.zip มาแล้ว ให้นำไฟล์ดังกล่าวไปไว้ใน Memory Card โดยไม่ต้องคลาย zip

2.ทำการปิดเครื่อง Cooper แล้วเปิดมาใน recovery mode โดยการกดปุ่ม Home และ Power พร้อมกันค้างไว้สักครู่ จนขึ้นหน้าจอสีดำๆ มีตัวอักษรเป็น command line

3.ให้กดปุ่มลดเสียงเลื่อนเลือกเมนู apply update from sd card จากนั้นกดปุ่ม home เป็นการตกลง

(กรณีเมนูเลือกระบุว่า apply update from sd\update.zip ให้เปลี่ยนชื่อไฟล์ที่โหลดมาจาก Universal_GB_ROOT_v8 เป็น update นั้นคือมันเจาะจงว่าจะอ่านชื่อนั่น )

4.จากนั้นจะมีรายการไฟล์ต่างๆ บน sd card ขึ้นมา ให้เลื่อนเลือก Universal_GB_ROOT_v8.zip แล้วกด home อีกครั้ง

5.รอสักครู่ เครื่องจะเข้าสู่กระบวนการ Root ซึ่งใช้เวลาไม่กี่วินาที

6.ถ้าหน้าจอขึ้นว่า Complete ก็ให้เลื่อนเลือกเมนู Reboot System now เพื่อทำการรีสตาร์ทเครื่อง เป็นอันเสร็จ

7.เมื่อเครื่องบูทขึ้นมาแล้ว ก็จะเข้าหน้าจอปกติ ให้เรากดที่ Application แล้วดูว่ามีไอคอน Super User ขึ้นมาหรือไม่ ถ้ามี แสดงว่าเจ้า Cooper ของเราได้ Root เรียบร้อยแล้ว โดยไอคอน App [Super User] จะขึ้นอัตโนมัติ

รุ่นที่สามารถใช้ได้

UNIVERSAL GINGERBREAD ROOT-UNROOT for SAMSUNG GALAXY GT-S5570, GT-S5570B, GT-S5570I, GT-S5570L, GT-S5660, GT-S5660M, GT-S5660L, GT-S5670, GT-S5670B, GT-S5670L, GT-S5830, GT-S5830B, GT-S5830D, GT-S5830L, GT-S5830T, GT-B7510, GT-S5360, GT-S5360L, GT-S5360T, GT-S5363, GT-S5690

ยกเว้น Ace 5830i
