We Keep Coding

libGDX camera zoom is different on different devices:

I'm making a game on both desktop and android and the same code results in two different screens (cam.zoom is the same in both):
The desired result is the left screen and the code used to render is like so: (the image is 8000x4000 and is a place holder for my map)
public class MainMenuScreen implements Screen {
private final Application application;
private SpriteBatch batch;
private ShapeRenderer sr;
private OrthographicCamera cam;
private Viewport viewport;
private Button startGame;
private Texture background = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("background.jpg"));
public MainMenuScreen(final Application application) {
this.application = application;
cam = new OrthographicCamera(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
viewport = new FitViewport(WIDTH, HEIGHT, cam);
batch = this.application.batch;
sr = this.application.sr;
startGame = new Button(-50, -25, 100, 50);
startGame.setColour(new Color(0.01f, 0.35f, 0.47f, 1));
startGame.setText("Start game", this.application.font);
startGame.setHasBorder(true);
startGame.setBorderThickness(3);
startGame.setBorderColour(new Color(0.02f, 0.62f, 0.79f, 1));
startGame.setTextColour(new Color(0.02f, 0.62f, 0.79f, 1));
}
public void update() {
Vector2 mousePos = Extras.getMousePos(viewport);
if (startGame.isClickedOn(mousePos)) {
}
}
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
ScreenUtils.clear(0, 0, 0, 1);
batch.setProjectionMatrix(cam.combined);
sr.setProjectionMatrix(cam.combined);
update();
batch.begin();
batch.draw(background, -background.getWidth() / 2, -background.getHeight() / 2);
batch.end();
startGame.render(this.sr, this.batch);
}
How do I make sure all different devices have the same zoom in the camera?
A possible solution I don't know how to implement yet could be setting cam.zoom to a value dependent on the screen size somehow but there has to be a better way for this using libGDX itself.

First, are you trying to make the button size's same on all device's screen resolution? or you want to make camera zooming have same value?
Ok, How the variable WIDTH and HEIGHT was declared?if you have declared both with one spesific size. Its will be not same if you're trying in another resolutions.
EXAMPLE:
//Constant Spesific Value of WIDTH and HEIGHT Size.
public static final int WIDTH = 1280, HEIGHT = 720;
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Non-Constant Value of WIDTH and HEIGHT Size.
public static int WIDTH, HEIGHT;
...
//Define Both In Main.class
public MainGameScreen(){
WIDTH = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
HEIGHT = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();
}
However, LibGDX's screen resolution can be calculated. Some object size in your game must be spesific, when calculating the size between both WIDTH and HEIGHT you need to know, how the size will be same in all device with one spesific calculation.
EXAMPLE:
/* Button (256x72) in Screen Resolution (1280x720)
Button (160x48) in Screen Resolution (800x480) */
startGame = new Button(0,0, WIDTH/5, HEIGHT/10);
//Button (400x100) in All Screen (Constant Value)
startGame = new Button(0,0, 400, 100);
So, i suggest you to make a calculation to sizing some objects in your game. Because its will be different if you trying to make value in constant.
Ok, the next is, OrthographicCamera Which you want to make same value of zoom right? the cam.zoom is a floating value. Its not a constant value, but it was a variable value that can be changed in all time.
You can trying this code, if you want to zoom camera directly on game
if(Gdx.input.isTouched()){
//Zoom Out
cam.zoom += Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();
//Zoom In
cam.zoom -= Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();
}
Or if you talking about static-zoom, in a spesific value (not directly changed)
cam.zoom = 1f; //for 1 value of Zoom Out
I hope you understand what i means and im sorry if my answers can't be helpful for you, cause im still learning too, all about LibGDX.

#Alf Equilfe was the one who helped me get to it with his answer and here is the actual solution:
Set WIDTH, HEIGHT to a constant value independent of device size (make it so that any device can handle the size, in my case i chose 1024, 512) and make the aspect ratio the scale so it looks same on all devices.

Animate a car on google map on firebase change event [duplicate]

What is the best way to animate markers on Google Maps using v2 API?
I am working on a map-centered game where I track locations of people and display them on the map for each other to see. As people move, I want to animate a marker from his current to his latest position. Every person has a direction, so I need to rotate the marker appropriately.
What is the best way to do it using the new Google Maps API?

Some Google engineers have provided a nice demo video with some elegant sample code about how to animate markers from a starting point to an ending point, for all various versions of Android:
The relevant code is here:
https://gist.github.com/broady/6314689
And a nice demo video of all of it in action.
http://youtu.be/WKfZsCKSXVQ
OLD DEPRECATED ANSWER BELOW
In the documentation, it is mentioned that Marker Icons cannot be changed:
Icon
A bitmap that's displayed for the marker. If the icon is left unset, a default icon is displayed. You can specify an alternative coloring of the default icon using defaultMarker(float). You can't change the icon once you've created the marker.
Google Maps API v2 Documentation
You're going to have to keep track of specific markers, perhaps using a method similar to that described here: Link a Marker to an Object, then figure out which marker you need to update. Call .remove() on the marker, then create a rotated image depending on the "direction" you want, create a new Marker with that image, and add the new Marker to the map.
You do not need to "clear" the map, simply remove the marker you want to modify, create a new one, then add it back to the map.
Unfortunately, the new Maps API is not very flexible yet. Hopefully Google continues to improve upon it.

Full Example for DiscDev's answer (Above):
LatLng fromLocation = new LatLng(38.5, -100.4); // Whatever origin coordinates
LatLng toLocation = new LatLng(37.7, -107.7); // Whatever destination coordinates
Marker marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(firstLocation));
MarkerAnimation.animateMarkerToICS(marker, toLocation, new LatLngInterpolator.Spherical());
And for those of you who uses GPS / or any position provider that receives location updates:
Marker ourGlobalMarker;
// We've got a location from some provider of ours, now we can call:
private void updateMarkerPosition(Location newLocation) {
LatLng newLatLng = new LatLng(newLocation.getLatitude(), newLocation.getLongitude());
if(ourGlobalMarker == null) { // First time adding marker to map
ourGlobalMarker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(newLatLng));
}
else {
MarkerAnimation.animateMarkerToICS(ourGlobalMarker, newLatLng, new LatLngInterpolator.Spherical());
}
}
IMPORTANT:
Within 1MarkerAnimation.java If the animation duration is set to X,
and you are receiving location updates in a rate smaller then X, multiple animations will be triggered, and you might see the marker animation flickers a bit (which is not a nice user experience).
To avoid this, the animationMarkerToICS method (I took here animationMarkerToICS for example), should look something like this,
full method implementation:
private static Animator animator; // MAKING ANIMATOR GLOBAL INSTEAD OF LOCAL TO THE STATIC FUNCTION
...
// Ice Cream Sandwich compatible
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
public static void animateMarkerToICS(Marker marker, LatLng finalPosition, final LatLngInterpolator latLngInterpolator) {
TypeEvaluator<LatLng> typeEvaluator = new TypeEvaluator<LatLng>() {
#Override
public LatLng evaluate(float fraction, LatLng startValue, LatLng endValue) {
return latLngInterpolator.interpolate(fraction, startValue, endValue);
}
};
Property<Marker, LatLng> property = Property.of(Marker.class, LatLng.class, "position");
// ADD THIS TO STOP ANIMATION IF ALREADY ANIMATING TO AN OBSOLETE LOCATION
if(animator != null && animator.isRunning()) {
animator.cancel();
animator = null;
}
animator = ObjectAnimator.ofObject(marker, property, typeEvaluator, finalPosition);
animator.setDuration((long) ANIMATION_DURATION);
animator.start();
}
Enjoy.

Marker has a new function added as of rev.7 of API v2. Marker.setIcon, so you can use multiple icons to show direction.

Android / Google Maps API - Calculate width and height in pixel of the full Map

So im currently making an GoogleMaps based game. Because i wanted to make an camera, i need the size of the whole google map in pixel.
Heres what i mean :
I already tried :
// pre generated by android studios
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
int width = mapFragment.getView().getMeasuredWidth();
int height = mapFragment.getView().getMeasuredHeight();
String widthAndHeight = width+" "+height;
But it only returns null. Whats wrong with the snippet? Any other ways to calculate the full size of the google map ? Or does this just returns the size of the part of the map, which is currently displayed ?

Based on If I call getMeasuredWidth() or getWidth() for layout in onResume they return 0 you can get it working like this:
mapView = mapFragment.getView();
mapView.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
int width = mapView.getMeasuredWidth();
int height = mapView.getMeasuredHeight();
String widthAndHeight = width + " " + height;
}
});

Setting appropriate zoom Android Google Maps API [duplicate]

I have 10 markers in the GoogleMap. I want to zoom in as much as possible and keep all markers in view? In the earlier version this can be achieved from zoomToSpan() but in v2 I have no idea how about doing that. Further, I know the radius of the circle that needs to be visible.

You should use the CameraUpdate class to do (probably) all programmatic map movements.
To do this, first calculate the bounds of all the markers like so:
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (Marker marker : markers) {
builder.include(marker.getPosition());
}
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
Then obtain a movement description object by using the factory: CameraUpdateFactory:
int padding = 0; // offset from edges of the map in pixels
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, padding);
Finally move the map:
googleMap.moveCamera(cu);
Or if you want an animation:
googleMap.animateCamera(cu);
That's all :)
Clarification 1
Almost all movement methods require the Map object to have passed the layout process. You can wait for this to happen using the addOnGlobalLayoutListener construct. Details can be found in comments to this answer and remaining answers. You can also find a complete code for setting map extent using addOnGlobalLayoutListener here.
Clarification 2
One comment notes that using this method for only one marker results in map zoom set to a "bizarre" zoom level (which I believe to be maximum zoom level available for given location). I think this is expected because:
The LatLngBounds bounds instance will have northeast property equal to southwest, meaning that the portion of area of the earth covered by this bounds is exactly zero. (This is logical since a single marker has no area.)
By passing bounds to CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds you essentially request a calculation of such a zoom level that bounds (having zero area) will cover the whole map view.
You can actually perform this calculation on a piece of paper. The theoretical zoom level that is the answer is +∞ (positive infinity). In practice the Map object doesn't support this value so it is clamped to a more reasonable maximum level allowed for given location.
Another way to put it: how can Map object know what zoom level should it choose for a single location? Maybe the optimal value should be 20 (if it represents a specific address). Or maybe 11 (if it represents a town). Or maybe 6 (if it represents a country). API isn't that smart and the decision is up to you.
So, you should simply check if markers has only one location and if so, use one of:
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(marker.getPosition()) - go to marker position, leave current zoom level intact.
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(marker.getPosition(), 12F) - go to marker position, set zoom level to arbitrarily chosen value 12.

Google Map V2
The following solution works for Android Marshmallow 6 (API 23, API 24, API 25, API 26, API 27, API 28). It also works in Xamarin.
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
//the include method will calculate the min and max bound.
builder.include(marker1.getPosition());
builder.include(marker2.getPosition());
builder.include(marker3.getPosition());
builder.include(marker4.getPosition());
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
int width = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int height = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
int padding = (int) (width * 0.10); // offset from edges of the map 10% of screen
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, width, height, padding);
mMap.animateCamera(cu);

I couldnt use the onGlobalLayoutlistener, so here is another solution to prevent the
"Map size can't be 0. Most likely, layout has not yet occured for the map view. Either wait until layout has occurred or use newLatLngBounds(LatLngBounds, int, int, int) which allows you to specify the map's dimensions." error:
mMap.setOnMapLoadedCallback(new GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback() {
#Override
public void onMapLoaded() {
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(builder.build(), 15));
}
});

So
I needed to use addOnGlobalLayoutListener to get the appropriate sample
for example, your Google Map is inside RelativeLayout:
RelativeLayout mapLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.map_layout);
mapLayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
//and write code, which you can see in answer above
}
});

Working fine for me.
From this code, I am displaying multiple markers with particular zoom on map screen.
// Declared variables
private LatLngBounds bounds;
private LatLngBounds.Builder builder;
// Method for adding multiple marker points with drawable icon
private void drawMarker(LatLng point, String text) {
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(point).title(text).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.icon));
mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
builder.include(markerOptions.getPosition());
}
// For adding multiple markers visible on map
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (int i = 0; i < locationList.size(); i++) {
drawMarker(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(locationList.get(i).getLatitude()), Double.parseDouble(locationList.get(i).getLongitude())), locationList.get(i).getNo());
}
bounds = builder.build();
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 0);
mMap.animateCamera(cu);

Note - This is not a solution to the original question. This is a solution to one of the subproblems discussed above.
Solution to #andr Clarification 2 -
Its really problematic when there's only one marker in the bounds and due to it the zoom level is set to a very high level (level 21). And Google does not provide any way to set the max zoom level at this point. This can also happen when there are more than 1 marker but they are all pretty close to each other. Then also the same problem will occur.
Solution - Suppose you want your Map to never go beyond 16 zoom level. Then after doing -
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, padding);
mMap.moveCamera(cu);
Check if your zoom level has crossed level 16(or whatever you want) -
float currentZoom = mMap.getCameraPosition().zoom;
And if this level is greater than 16, which it will only be if there are very less markers or all the markers are very close to each other, then simply zoom out your map at that particular position only by seting the zoom level to 16.
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(16));
This way you'll never have the problem of "bizarre" zoom level explained very well by #andr too.

Show All Markers with Google map
In these Methods store all Markers and automatically zoom to show all markers in google map.
// Declare the Markers List.

banPoint=BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.location_icon_2);
LatLng ban = new LatLng(latitude2, longitude2);
MarkerOptions bengalureMarker = new MarkerOptions();
bengalureMarker.position(ban);
bengalureMarker.icon(banPoint);
markerList.add(bengalureMarker);
// You can add any numbers of MarkerOptions like this.
showAllMarkers();
}
public void showAllMarkers()
{
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (MarkerOptions m : markerList) {
builder.include(m.getPosition());
}
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
int width = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int height = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
int padding = (int) (width * 0.30);
// Zoom and animate the google map to show all markers
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, width, height, padding);
googleMap.animateCamera(cu);
}

I had similar problem, using following code solved the issue:
CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 200, 200, 5) generally the location differences in my case are no more than two neighbour cities.
zoom to fit all markers on map google maps v2

I have one other way to do this same thing works perfectly. so the idea behind to show all markers on the screen we need a center lat long and zoom level. here is the function which will give you both and need all marker's Latlng objects as input.
public Pair<LatLng, Integer> getCenterWithZoomLevel(LatLng... l) {
float max = 0;
if (l == null || l.length == 0) {
return null;
}
LatLngBounds.Builder b = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (int count = 0; count < l.length; count++) {
if (l[count] == null) {
continue;
}
b.include(l[count]);
}
LatLng center = b.build().getCenter();
float distance = 0;
for (int count = 0; count < l.length; count++) {
if (l[count] == null) {
continue;
}
distance = distance(center, l[count]);
if (distance > max) {
max = distance;
}
}
double scale = max / 1000;
int zoom = ((int) (16 - Math.log(scale) / Math.log(2)));
return new Pair<LatLng, Integer>(center, zoom);
}
This function return Pair object which you can use like
Pair pair = getCenterWithZoomLevel(l1,l2,l3..);
mGoogleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(pair.first, pair.second));
you can instead of using padding to keep away your markers from screen boundaries, you can adjust zoom by -1.

I worked the same problem for showing multiple markers in Kotlin using a fragment
first declare a list of markers
private lateinit var markers: MutableList<Marker>
initialize this in the oncreate method of the frament
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater,
container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
//initialize markers list
markers = mutableListOf()
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_driver_map, container, false)
}
on the OnMapReadyCallback add the markers to the markers list
private val callback = OnMapReadyCallback { googleMap ->
map = googleMap
markers.add(
map.addMarker(
MarkerOptions().position(riderLatLng)
.title("Driver")
.snippet("Driver")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED))))
markers.add(
map.addMarker(
MarkerOptions().position(driverLatLng)
.title("Driver")
.snippet("Driver")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_GREEN))))
Still on the callback
//create builder
val builder = LatLngBounds.builder()
//loop through the markers list
for (marker in markers) {
builder.include(marker.position)
}
//create a bound
val bounds = builder.build()
//set a 200 pixels padding from the edge of the screen
val cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds,200)
//move and animate the camera
map.moveCamera(cu)
//animate camera by providing zoom and duration args, callBack set to null
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10f), 2000, null)

Determine a reasonable zoom level for Google Maps given location accuracy

I am trying to center a Google Map to the user location while giving a reasonable zoom level taking into account the accuracy of that location. Could anybody describe how should I compute it? Which variables are involved, how do you achieve this?

What you are looking for is the formula that calculates the zoom level based on the accuracy of the location.
I managed to come up with this formula which (in my tests) worked pretty well.
This can be simplified (might not seem so) to this:
This scary looking thing is what you want.
EquatorLength is 40,075,004 meters. While the Meters/Pixel can be calculated by diving the diameter of the accuracy circle by the length of the device screen (in pixels).
Here's a sample program that I used to test this formula:
GoogleMap mMap;
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
mMap = ((MapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
// Enable user's location layer
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
// Location lat-lng
LatLng loc = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
// Location accuracy diameter (in meters)
float accuracy = location.getAccuracy() * 2;
// Screen measurements
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();

Few things to note:
This answer is based on this and implements it to check the values generated
Accuracy is the radius of user's location and according to the docs it can be up to 68% correct.
Any corrections are very welcome.

If you're looking for something simple:
var zoom = Math.min(20, Math.max(1, Math.log2(591657550/accuracy)-2));
Tweak -2 to get the desired zoom.
Checkout this answer for a chart corresponding zoom with accuracy.

Thanks #Simas! I picked up your algo to make this extension to GMSMapView to calculate for the ideal zoomLevel given the accuracy of a CLLocation.
I had to make adjustments to consider devices with Retina displays since each pixel is not exactly the same as 1 point on the screen:
extension GMSMapView {
func getIdealZoomLevel(usingLocation location:CLLocation)->Float {
let retinaScale = Double(UIScreen.mainScreen().scale)
let equatorLength : Double = 40075004 // in meters
var metersPerPixel = equatorLength / 256
let accuracy = location.horizontalAccuracy
// I used height because I'm on landscape, but moving forward I'll have to get the Min of the width and height.
// I also took only 75% of the height to give it some margin
let screenWidth : Double = Double( self.frame.size.height) * 0.75
var display = metersPerPixel * (screenWidth / retinaScale)
var zoomLevel : Float = 0.0
while (display > accuracy) {
metersPerPixel /= 2
display = metersPerPixel * (screenWidth / retinaScale)
zoomLevel += 1
}
return zoomLevel
}
}
It's for a Swift project I'm working on and right now, I'm able to display a good proximity enclosing the radius within the given CLLocation.
Hope this helps.
