How to use

Initialize

At first, you must use to MapController#initialize(Context) to initial Google Maps at android.app.Application and remember to update AndroidManifest.xml.

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

    try {
        MapController.initialize(this);
    } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

        Toast.makeText(this, R.string.common_google_play_services_enable_text, Toast.Length_SHORT).show();
    }
}

Attach

When using it, You must create an instance to attach map from MapView / MapFragment's instance.

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements MapControllerReady {
    private MapView mv;
    private MapController mc;
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        mv = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.map);
        
        mc = new MapController(mv, this);
        // or use below statement
        // new MapController(mv, this);
    }

    @Override
    public void already(MapController controller) {
        controller.moveToMyLocation();
    }
}

Show my location

Typically, you can use MapController#showMyLocation() to show your location.

Move to my location

You can use MapController#moveToMyLocation() to move your current location. Also you can use MapController#animateToMyLocation() to move smoothly.

Get my location

You can use MapController#getMyLocation() to get your current location.

Tracking my location

If you want to track your location at runtime and do something. You can use MapController#startTrackMyLocation() like this:

mc.startTrackMyLocation(new ChangeMyLocation() {
    @Override
    public void changed(GoogleMap map, Location location, boolean lastLocation) {
        Toast.makeText(TrackingMyLocation.this, location.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});

And don't forget to stop tracking MapController#stopTrackMyLocation() when you leave the activity or service.

Move to specific location

If you want to move to specific location, you can use MapController#moveTo(LatLng) or MapController#animateTo(LatLng) like this:

LatLng latLng = new LatLng(25.03338, 121.56463);

mc.animateTo(latLng, new ChangePosition() {
    @Override
    public void changed(GoogleMap map, CameraPosition position) {
        Toast.makeText(ShowSpecificLocation.this, position.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});

Add marker

You can use MapController#addMarker(MarkerOptions) to add marker to map, like this:

mc.addMarker(opts, new MarkerCallback() {
    @Override
    public void invokedMarker(GoogleMap map, Marker marker) {
        Toast.makeText(AddMarker.this, marker.getId(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});

Add bulk markers

You can also use MapController#addMarkers(ArrayList<MarkerOptions>) to add bulk markers to map.
