Google Map – Layout file<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you have to add the map fragment into the xml layout file. Its syntax is given below \u2212<\/p>\n\n\n\n <fragment<\/p>\n\n\n\n android:id=”@+id\/map”<\/p>\n\n\n\n android:name=”com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment”<\/p>\n\n\n\n android:layout_width=”match_parent”<\/p>\n\n\n\n android:layout_height=”match_parent”\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Map – AndroidManifest file<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The next thing you need to do is to add some permissions along with the Google Map API key in the AndroidManifest.XML file. Its syntax is given below \u2212<\/p>\n\n\n\n <!–Permissions–><\/p>\n\n\n\n <uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE” \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n <uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.INTERNET” \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n <uses-permission android:name=”com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n READ_GSERVICES” \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n <uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n <!–Google MAP API key–><\/p>\n\n\n\n <meta-data<\/p>\n\n\n\n android:name=”com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY”<\/p>\n\n\n\n android:value=”AIzaSyDKymeBXNeiFWY5jRUejv6zItpmr2MVyQ0″ \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n Customising Google Map<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can easily customise google map from its default view , and change it according to your demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adding Marker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can place a maker with some text over it displaying your location on the map. It can be done via addMarker() method. Its syntax is given below \u2212<\/p>\n\n\n\n final LatLng TutorialsPoint = new LatLng(21 , 57);<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marker TP = googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n .position(TutorialsPoint).title(“TutorialsPoint”));<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Changing Map Type<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also change the type of the MAP. There are four different types of map and each gives a different view of the map. These types are Normal,Hybrid,Satellite and terrain. You can use them as below<\/p>\n\n\n\n googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);<\/p>\n\n\n\n googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);<\/p>\n\n\n\n googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);<\/p>\n\n\n\n googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN);<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enable\/Disable zoom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also enable or disable the zoom gestures in the map by calling the setZoomControlsEnabled(boolean) method. Its syntax is given below \u2212<\/p>\n\n\n\n googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(true);<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from these customization, there are other methods available in the GoogleMap class that help you customise the map.
