Hi basically want to insert the map in within a div of id #gmaps to have something like this:

How can I do this ?

There is code inside GoogleMaps.m _removeMapView that re-adds a map view when the map is embedded (lines 201-206 in current code). Therefore if, in JS, you call map.closeDialog() the map will get removed and then instantly re-added - basically you see the map re-draw itself.

I'd suggest that this code should be removed, and that closeDialog should remove the map from the screen.

Tried the basic IOS tutorial - twice - and could not get it to work. Cordova 3.4.1-0.1.0. xCode 5.1.1. API set up + key. GoogleMaps-iOS-1.7.2 sdk (for manual attempt).

Missing files (wrong places it seems). Compilation errors. Really wanted this to work. Started through the "manual process" but got lost at the AppDelegate step and files not matching.

Is there any hope for this to work / get fixed?

Thanks, Randy

Want To Remove All markers When Google Map Window is Close.

There is no way to do the below in v1.0.9

map.getBounds().contains(marker.getPosition())

I get the following error when I click "Init a map" for the second time, after closing the initial map:

Java Error
android.widget.FrameLayout$LayoutParams cannot be casted to android.widget.AbsoluteLayout$LayoutParams

Any help? I could help fixing this if I had any idea how to recompile the plugin...

Hi!
I use phonegap instead of cordova.
I do step by step "Tutorial for Windows".
At 5 step i use command:

phonegap plugin add plugin.google.maps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="HERE_MY_KEY"

but only get

[phonegap] adding the plugin: plugin.google.maps
[Error: Variable(s) missing: API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID]
[error] Variable(s) missing: API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID

in terminal.

Hello.

Excellent plugin, really love using it.

Is it possible for you to put Direction features

Thanks

Hi.

HTML select box items are suddenly disappearing after appearing for 1-2 seconds,this is only happening when i include the map plugin.

i have tested by deleting the map plugin and it works, any workaround for this.

Thanks

const GOOGLE_SYDNEY = new plugin.google.maps.LatLng(-33.867487,151.20699);
map.addMarker({
'position': GOOGLE_SYDNEY,
'draggable': true //<--- does not work on Android
});

map.getCameraPosition didn't work drung camerachange event, even try after map init also failure cause undefine function exception. and it will let map can't run anymore. By the way, I only try it on IOS emulator.

It appears there is no map.getZoom method to retrieve the current zoom level.

I have using cordova 3.4.1 to build android app.Because of the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition function sometimes not working,I must reboot my phone often to use it.
So I install the phonegap-googlemaps-plugin, I have installed it successful and see the google map in android,but the map.getMyLocation function never fire callback, and I can't get my location.
I am sure I have turn on the device's all the gps settings.
My android version is 4.1.2.
here is my code below, why it not works?

var onDeviceReady = function(){
        window.map = plugin.google.maps.Map.getMap();
        alert(typeof map); //execute 
        alert(typeof map.getMyLocation); //execute 
        map.addEventListener(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_READY, function(map){
            alert('map init');//execute 
            map.showDialog();//execute I can see the earth map
            map.getMyLocation(function(location) {
                alert('get location');  //never execute 
                alert(typeof location);//never execute 
                alert(JSON.stringify(location));//never execute 
                alert(location.latLng.lat);//never execute 
                alert(location.latLng.lng);//never execute 
            });  
    });
}
document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);

Thank you for build the plugin.

Hi you,
i interested your plugin, but i can not install in android. You can detail use guide install android !
Tks you, wish you a good day !

Hi,
I followed step by step the installation instruction.
However once in Xcode if i try to build the project I get an error at line 93 dispatch_release(gueue);
The message state:

ARC forbids explicit message send of 'release'
'release' is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode

Here the screenshot of the error.

Mac Book Pro OSX 10.9.2
Xcode Version 5.1 (5B130a)

With GoogleMaps you can zoom with CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds so that a group of locations are all visible. It also supports defining a margin in pixels to leave clear in the corners of the map, so that the furthest away locations are not directly at the edges of the screen. This is a highly useful feature in many cases, so I would recommend implementing it :)

Hey guys,

seems like a very good pluggin. I've followed the install process step by step and when doing the following command:

cordova plugin add plugin.google.maps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="YOUR_ANDROID_API_KEY_IS_HERE" --variable API_KEY_FOR_IOS="YOUR_IOS_API_KEY_IS_HERE"

With my own credentials, nothing happen in the command line but a ">" added at the following line :
YohannM$ cordova plugin add plugin.google.maps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="AI***************" --variable API_KEY_FOR_IOS=“AI********************"
`>

What should I do from here ?
Note:
the "`" before the ">" sign is here only to have the sign shown otherwise this forum understand it as a citation
when doing echo $JAVA_HOME I can't see anyting but I've installed it properly
when doing which android I don't have anything but I have installed eclipse and SDK properly form the official doc.
I'm working with mac osx 10.9

thanks

I saw the code and found there is a camera idle, does it support now or feature?

Dear Masashi Katsumata,

I really appreciate your work and everybody know its best plugin of Google maps.
but the problem is i add this plugin by CLI

=>cordova plugin add \phonegap-googlemaps-plugin-master --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="Google Simple API Key"

=>cordova plugin add com.google.playservices

i compiled the cordova project and run on my android device it work good.

but when i add more plugin like device,motion,camera,etc
an error occurred state Class not found.

Thanks

In the constructor of the mentioned GoogleMapsViewController.m "initOptions" field is initialized with a reference to the passed "options param:

• (id)initWithOptions:(NSDictionary *) options {
  ...
  initOptions = options;
  ...
  }

In order to avoid BAD_ACCESS in "- (void)viewDidLoad" options should be copied using
initOptions = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:options];

There may be a better solution but this worked for me.

The moveCamera and animateCamera events fire immediately. For example, if I animate the camera with a duration of 3000 milliseconds, if I put an alert inside the callback it fires immediately proving that the duration has not been elapsed.

I'd really like to animate the position of the map view. The scenario I'm imagining is that the user presses a button and the map slides to the right to reveal a menu hidden underneath the map (displayed in the cordova web view).

I've looked at the code, and it seems to me that the logical place to put support for this on the JS side would be to add an "animated" flag to the map.refreshLayout method. I guess that the animation duration could be a default value which could get overridden in params passed into the getMap method.

Hi,

first let me thank you for this plugin. It's awesome and makes us happy, espacially when coming from the JavaScript Version of GoogleMaps.

I want to ask what general hints you have when we want to add a search bar over the map and show search results in front of the map? Do you already implement something like that? We struggle with layouting the view.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Can we render html code in snippet? i mean any image tag / link etc

Hi, first thank you for the plugin. It works great! But I’m experiencing one issue both in my app and the sample SimpleMap apk on Android phone. After the map shows, Phonegap will lose control over the back button. Then every back button press closes the whole application. I’m not sure if it is an issue of the Phonegap or the plugin. Do you know any solution for this? Thanks.

Hi, i need to put a image over the map in order to keep it always in the center at the map. Also i need to set a button over the map. How can i do that?

When the following code is used the marker does not fire the click event:

    map.addMarker({
        icon: icon,
        position: new plugin.google.maps.LatLng(stops[i].latitude, stops[i].longitude),
    }, function(marker) {
        marker.addEventListener(plugin.google.maps.event.MARKER_CLICK, function(){
            alert("HELLO!");
    });

Also, it might be better to use the 'touchend' event to bind as this will respond much faster than click.

I am attempting to install the phonegap-googlemaps-plugin via the instructions linked below:

https://github.com/wf9a5m75/phonegap-googlemaps-plugin/wiki/Tutorial-for-Mac

The installation seems to go well but when I try to build by project I get the following build error:

Hey there again. We needed a function to get the lat lng boundaries the map is currently showing and figured others may need it too so I'm sharing the code with you:

         final JSONObject result = new JSONObject();
         final JSONObject northeast = new JSONObject();
         final JSONObject southwest = new JSONObject();
         northeast.put("lat", latLngBounds.northeast.latitude);
         northeast.put("lng", latLngBounds.northeast.longitude);
         southwest.put("lat", latLngBounds.southwest.latitude);

Is there an event that fires after the map has been moved?

For example:

1. The map is still
2. I pan around and move the camera
3. When the map is still after being moved, fire event

Dear Masashi Katsumata,

Does it support cluster markers ?

Thanks

The marker rotation property and the setRotation() method have no effect on markers.

Also, using setPosition() on a marker on iOS (iPhone 5) immediately crashes the application as soon as it is invoked.

Hi,
Nice work, but i'd like to know how to implement Gmap Libraries such as PlaceService, should i use javascript or you need to implement it in your plugin ?

var polygon = new plugin.google.maps.Polygon();
polygon.remove();

Does not work the above code.

Hello

On iOS 6 is the closebar at the bottom not fully visible. There are 20px (40px on Retina-Display) margin. I Think, it’s because the Statusbar on iOS 7 ist not there.

Is there any Workaround for this?

Thanks in advance.

It's probably not possible to embed the map into a view, but is there the ability to adjust the layout of the overlay to make it appear to be part of a view?

Dear Masashi Katsumata,

map window does not have any close event ?

Thanks

Is it possible to add option to map.showDialog(); in the Javascript to arrange the map in a specific location on the screen.

eg:

map.showDialog({
  position: {
    landscape: {
      top: "20px",
      bottom: "10px"
    },
    portrait: {
      top: "30px",
      bottom: "0"
    }
  }
});

I think it is feature, but before that, can I did it by java script code?
