How to Implement Android Google Map Custom Overlay Function Using Gestures

In the Google map V2, groundoverlay function has been added. The overlay on Google map is nothing but image overlays which are tied to coordinates. And when you drag or zoom into the map, they move. The Android Google map custom overlay is basically an image that is being fixed on map.

They allow developers to fix a single image at one area on the Google map. However this is not the only functionality it provides, you can also implement a drawable map in your Android app.

In this Android app tutorial, we’re going to demonstrate one demo in which, you’ll be able to integrate Google maps with a drawable function to discover the desired places in the particular area.

Getting Started

First, you’ll need to integrate Google maps in your Android application. For this, you can read our article on how to integrate Google maps to obtain current location.

Next, go to the developer console.

Now to track drawing on the map, Extend SupportMapFragment for tracking touch.

public class MapFragment extends SupportMapFragment {

    private OnTouchListener mListener;

public class TouchableWrapper extends FrameLayout {

    public TouchableWrapper(Context context) {

        super(context);

    }

    @Override

    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {

        switch (event.getAction()) {

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:

                mListener.onTouch();

                break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:

                mListener.onTouch();

                break;

        }

        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);

    }

}

After tracking the touch, use Drawingpanel to draw touch point on canvas.

public class DrawingPanel extends View implements View.OnTouchListener

  for (Path p : paths) 

{

    canvas.drawPath(p, mPaint);

}

Add Dependency in .gradle file.

//For animation

compile 'com.daimajia.androidanimations:library:1.1.2@aar'

compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0'

// For map calculations

compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.3.4'

Next, add tracking in Activity.

once map loaded implement draglistner of drawing panel.

1. initialize drawing panel

private FrameLayout flMapContainer;

private DrawingPanel drawingpanel;

flMapContainer = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.flMapContainer);

drawingpanel = new DrawingPanel(this);

drawingpanel.setVisibility(View.GONE);

drawingpanel.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#50000000"));

flMapContainer.addView(drawingpanel);

 2. Set Draging listner

drawingpanel.setOnDragListener(new DrawingPanel.OnDragListener() {

    @Override

    public void onDragEvent(MotionEvent motionEvent) {

3. Get details from ACTION_DOWN, ACTION_MOVE

//declared variable

private ArrayList<LatLng> latLngs;

private Projection projection;

private GoogleMap mMap;

//Track touch point

float x = motionEvent.getX();

float y = motionEvent.getY();

int x_co = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(Math.round(x)));

int y_co = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(Math.round(y)));

//get Projection from google map

projection = mMap.getProjection();

Point x_y_points = new Point(x_co, y_co);

LatLng latLng = mMap.getProjection().fromScreenLocation(x_y_points);

if (latLngs == null)  public LatLngBounds toBounds(LatLng center, double radius) {

LatLng southwest = SphericalUtil.computeOffset(center, radius * Math.sqrt(2.0), 225);

LatLng northeast = SphericalUtil.computeOffset(center, radius * Math.sqrt(2.0), 45);

return new LatLngBounds(southwest, northeast);

}

latLngs = new ArrayList<LatLng>();

latLngs.add(latLng);

4. Get details from ACTION_UP

private PolygonOptions polygonOptions;

private LatLngBounds bounds;

double maxDistanceFromCenter;

private LatLng latLng;

private LatLngBounds latLngBounds;

//Join all points and draw polygon

polygonOptions.strokeWidth(10);

polygonOptions.strokeColor(ContextCompat.getColor(MapActivity.this, R.color.colorPrimary));

polygonOptions.addAll(latLngs);

mMap.addPolygon(polygonOptions);

drawingpanel.setVisibility(View.GONE);

//find radius and center from drawing

LatLng latLng1 = getPolygonCenterPoint(latLngs);

LatLng latLngxmin = projection.fromScreenLocation(drawingpanel.getPointXMin());

LatLng latLngxmax = projection.fromScreenLocation(drawingpanel.getPointxMax());

LatLng latLngymin = projection.fromScreenLocation(drawingpanel.getPointYmin());

LatLng latLngymax = projection.fromScreenLocation(drawingpanel.getPointYmax());

if (drawingpanel.getPointXMin().x != 0 && drawingpanel.getPointXMin().y != 0)

    maxDistanceFromCenter = distance(latLng1.latitude, latLng1.longitude, latLngxmin.latitude, latLngxmin.longitude);

double tempdistance = 0;

if (drawingpanel.getPointxMax().x != 0 && drawingpanel.getPointxMax().y != 0)

    tempdistance = distance(latLng1.latitude, latLng1.longitude, latLngxmax.latitude, latLngxmax.longitude);

if (tempdistance > maxDistanceFromCenter)

    maxDistanceFromCenter = tempdistance;

if (drawingpanel.getPointYmin().x != 0 && drawingpanel.getPointYmin().y != 0)

    tempdistance = distance(latLng1.latitude, latLng1.longitude, latLngymin.latitude, latLngymin.longitude);

if (tempdistance > maxDistanceFromCenter)

    maxDistanceFromCenter = tempdistance;

if (drawingpanel.getPointYmax().x != 0 && drawingpanel.getPointYmax().y != 0)

    tempdistance = distance(latLng1.latitude, latLng1.longitude, latLngymax.latitude, latLngymax.longitude);

if (tempdistance > maxDistanceFromCenter)

    maxDistanceFromCenter = tempdistance;

drawingpanel.clear();

5. Get LatLngBounds to check marker is in or not

public LatLngBounds toBounds(LatLng center, double radius) {

    LatLng southwest = SphericalUtil.computeOffset(center, radius * Math.sqrt(2.0), 225);

    LatLng northeast = SphericalUtil.computeOffset(center, radius * Math.sqrt(2.0), 45);

    return new LatLngBounds(southwest, northeast);

}
