Building Mobile Apps with Google Maps Android API v2. This tutorial/course is created by David Gassner and it has been retrieved from Lynda which you can download for absolutely free. Developer and Mobile Apps skills are covered in this course.

Maps make mobile apps more useful; they can help users find businesses and areas of interest, get directions, or gain insights into new communities. In this course, learn to add interactive maps to your Android apps with Google Maps Android API v2. David Gassner first shows you how to set up the tools, get an API key, and import and link to Google Play services. After an introduction to presenting simple maps with the MapView and MapFragment classes, the course describes how to set a map’s initial state, switch between different map types, work with map markers, draw shapes, and work with zoom controls, the My Location button, and various user gestures. Finally, learn to add a map to an existing app and prepare it for distribution.

Note: An Android device with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) or higher, and that has Google Play Store installed, is required to use the course exercises. (Kindle Fire and Nook devices do not qualify.) Finished mapping apps can be deployed on Android 2.2 (Froyo) or later.

Topics includes:

• Setting up the developer tools
• Adding required permissions
• Getting a Google Maps API key
• Importing and linking the Google Play services
• Setting a map’s initial state
• Geocoding an address
• Getting the current location programmatically
• Adding map markers
• Handling marker events
• Drawing lines, polygons, and circles
• Adding maps to existing apps

My name is David Gassner, and this is Building Mobile Apps with Google Maps Android API v2. After setting up the required tools, and getting required API key for an app, I’ll dive into the API, showing you how to display maps with the “Map View” and “Map Fragment” classes. I’ll demonstrate code that switches between map types, sets a map to a particular location, and displays markers and info windows. Then, I’ll describe how to draw shapes on a map, including lines, polygons, and circles.

And in the final chapter, I’ll show you how to add a map to an existing app that you’ll be able to install from the Google Play Store. I hope that this course helps you get started adding interactive maps to your own Android apps.

My name is David Gassner, and this is Building Mobile Apps with Google Maps Android API v2. After setting up the required tools, and getting required API key for an app, I’ll dive into the API, showing you how to display maps with the “Map View” and “Map Fragment” classes. I’ll demonstrate code that switches between map types, sets a map to a particular location, and displays markers and info windows. Then, I’ll describe how to draw shapes on a map, including lines, polygons, and circles.

And in the final chapter, I’ll show you how to add a map to an existing app that you’ll be able to install from the Google Play Store. I hope that this course helps you get started adding interactive maps to your own Android apps.

Description

Building Mobile Apps with Google Maps Android API v2. This tutorial/course is created by David Gassner and it has been retrieved from Lynda which you can download for absolutely free. Developer and Mobile Apps skills are covered in this course.

Maps make mobile apps more useful; they can help users find businesses and areas of interest, get directions, or gain insights into new communities. In this course, learn to add interactive maps to your Android apps with Google Maps Android API v2. David Gassner first shows you how to set up the tools, get an API key, and import and link to Google Play services. After an introduction to presenting simple maps with the MapView and MapFragment classes, the course describes how to set a map’s initial state, switch between different map types, work with map markers, draw shapes, and work with zoom controls, the My Location button, and various user gestures. Finally, learn to add a map to an existing app and prepare it for distribution.

Note: An Android device with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) or higher, and that has Google Play Store installed, is required to use the course exercises. (Kindle Fire and Nook devices do not qualify.) Finished mapping apps can be deployed on Android 2.2 (Froyo) or later.

Topics includes:

• Setting up the developer tools
• Adding required permissions

Maps make mobile apps more useful; they can help users find businesses and areas of interest, get directions, or gain insights into new communities. In this course, learn to add interactive maps to your Android apps with Google Maps Android API v2. David Gassner first shows you how to set up the tools, get an API key, and import and link to Google Play services. After an introduction to presenting simple maps with the MapView and MapFragment classes, the course describes how to set a map’s initial state, switch between different map types, work with map markers, draw shapes, and work with zoom controls, the My Location button, and various user gestures. Finally, learn to add a map to an existing app and prepare it for distribution.

Note: An Android device with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) or higher, and that has Google Play Store installed, is required to use the course exercises. (Kindle Fire and Nook devices do not qualify.) Finished mapping apps can be deployed on Android 2.2 (Froyo) or later.

Topics includes:

• Setting up the developer tools
• Adding required permissions
• Getting a Google Maps API key
• Importing and linking the Google Play services
• Setting a map’s initial state
• Geocoding an address
• Getting the current location programmatically
• Adding map markers
• Handling marker events
• Drawing lines, polygons, and circles
• Adding maps to existing apps

My name is David Gassner, and this is Building Mobile Apps with Google Maps Android API v2. After setting up the required tools, and getting required API key for an app, I’ll dive into the API, showing you how to display maps with the “Map View” and “Map Fragment” classes. I’ll demonstrate code that switches between map types, sets a map to a particular location, and displays markers and info windows. Then, I’ll describe how to draw shapes on a map, including lines, polygons, and circles.

And in the final chapter, I’ll show you how to add a map to an existing app that you’ll be able to install from the Google Play Store. I hope that this course helps you get started adding interactive maps to your own Android apps.
