is there a way to open a virtual tour with google maps api v2 for Android? (something similar to this: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.772031,-122.432005,3a,75y,12.85h,79.63t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1srR8mp3c5XZoAAAAGOphoBg!2e0!3e2 )
I would like to click on a place in a gmap and offer the possibility (among other informations) to open a virtual tour (even in a webview, but how can I create the above link?)
Photo Sphere is an Android camera feature that allows you to create immersive 360 degree panoramas - similar to Street View . You can take a series of photos and automatically turn them into a seamless 360 degree panorama . Then, you can easily share your photo sphere with Google Maps .
In order to have the Google maps displayed into your App, you should include it into your activity:
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Google Map
private GoogleMap googleMap;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
try {
// Loading map
initilizeMap();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* function to load map. If map is not created it will create it for you
* */
private void initilizeMap() {
if (googleMap == null) {
googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
R.id.map)).getMap();
// check if map is created successfully or not
if (googleMap == null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
initilizeMap();
}
}
And also include to your code a marker for where you want to open your virtual tour:
// latitude and longitude
double latitude = ;
double longitude = ;
// create marker
MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("Hello Maps ");
// adding marker
googleMap.addMarker(marker);
Then update it to interact accordingly to the current position coordinates provided:
public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
if(markerClicked){
if(polyline != null){
polyline.remove();
polyline = null;
}
rectOptions.add(marker.getPosition());
rectOptions.color(Color.RED);
polyline = myMap.addPolyline(rectOptions);
}else{
if(polyline != null){
polyline.remove();
polyline = null;
}
rectOptions = new PolylineOptions().add(marker.getPosition());
markerClicked = true;
}
return true;
}
}
Once a Photo Sphere was made as an open format, anyone can create and view them on the web or on mobile devices, only having to use Panorama Class/Interface for that:
// This listener will be called with information about the given panorama.
OnPanoramaInfoLoadedListener infoLoadedListener =
new OnPanoramaInfoLoadedListener() {
@Override
public void onPanoramaInfoLoaded(ConnectionResult result,
Intent viewerIntent) {
if (result.isSuccess()) {
// If the intent is not null, the image can be shown as a
// panorama.
if (viewerIntent != null) {
// Use the given intent to start the panorama viewer.
startActivity(viewerIntent);
}
}
// If viewerIntent is null, the image is not a viewable panorama.
}
};
// Create client instance and connect to it.
PanoramaClient client = ...
...
// Once connected to the client, initiate the asynchronous check on whether
// the image is a viewable panorama.
client.loadPanoramaInfo(infoLoadedListener, panoramaUri);
Which will allow you to have a Photo Sphere viewer as part of your App.
