Map recentering has a weird behavior about polaris HOT 7 CLOSED

Are you located in NYC? The sample app has user tracking enabled so once a new fix is received it moves the map to make it visible. That may be a reason.

Do you have a way to make a screencast/video of the strange behavior?

I am located in Switzerland. It also does it with the GPS off. I don't think this is related.

I think you can easily reproduce it using the steps I gave.

I'll try to make a video tonight.

@jschmid: Do you have more information on this bug? A video showing the bug in action? The version of your Android? The device you are running Polaris on?

Sorry, I thought you reproduced it successfully since you tagged it as a bug.

See http://youtu.be/9e3DGYnwjEY

The first click is a normal click.
The second one is the faulty one. You can see that the map goes all the way to the right instead of just going a few pixels to the left.
The third click is a normal one. the map moves to the right so that one can see the callout. I think the same thing should happen on the second click, but it should go to the left, not to the right.

Do you see what I mean?

This is a galaxy nexus 4.1.2, but i don't think it matters.

Thank you very much for the video. I can see what you are talking about now.

So, I hate to say that but I think there is no way to fix this bug simply because it is not related to Polaris. It's actually a bug that comes from the Google Maps framework an,d more specifically the animateTo(GeoPoint) method in MapController :(.

See MapViewUtil for more information on it

Unfixable

Smooth per-pixel scrolling internally uses MapController.animateTo(GeoPoint) which is responsible for the weird animation. No way to fix this.
