I want to geocode address as soon as map center has been changed.
How can I handle map moveend with new Google Maps for Android V2? (I'm talking about the case then user drags map by finger)

Here is a possible workaround for determining drag start and drag end events:
You have to extend SupportMapFragment or MapFragment. In onCreateView you have to wrap your MapView in a customized FrameLayout (in example below it is the class "TouchableWrapper"), in which you intercepts touch events and recognizes whether the map is tapped or not. If your "onCameraChange" gets called, just check whether the map view is pressed or not (in example below this is the variable "mMapIsTouched").
Example code:
UPDATE 1:
Customized FrameLayout:
private class TouchableWrapper extends FrameLayout {
@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
switch (ev.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
mMapIsTouched = true;
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
mMapIsTouched = false;
break;
}
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
}
In your customized MapFragment:
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup parent,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mOriginalContentView = super.onCreateView(inflater, parent,
savedInstanceState);
mTouchView = new TouchableWrapper(getActivity());
mTouchView.addView(mOriginalContentView);
return mTouchView;
}
@Override
public View getView() {
return mOriginalContentView;
}
In your camera change callback method:
private final OnCameraChangeListener mOnCameraChangeListener =
new OnCameraChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onCameraChange(CameraPosition cameraPosition) {
if (!mMapIsTouched) {
refreshClustering(false);
}
}
};
Check out new maps api.
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
mMap = map;
mMap.setOnCameraIdleListener(this);
mMap.setOnCameraMoveStartedListener(this);
mMap.setOnCameraMoveListener(this);
mMap.setOnCameraMoveCanceledListener(this);
// Show Sydney on the map.
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(-33.87365, 151.20689), 10));
}
@Override
public void onCameraMoveStarted(int reason) {
if (reason == OnCameraMoveStartedListener.REASON_GESTURE) {
Toast.makeText(this, "The user gestured on the map.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (reason == OnCameraMoveStartedListener
.REASON_API_ANIMATION) {
Toast.makeText(this, "The user tapped something on the map.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (reason == OnCameraMoveStartedListener
.REASON_DEVELOPER_ANIMATION) {
Toast.makeText(this, "The app moved the camera.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
@Override
public void onCameraMove() {
Toast.makeText(this, "The camera is moving.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onCameraMoveCanceled() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Camera movement canceled.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onCameraIdle() {
Toast.makeText(this, "The camera has stopped moving.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

OUTDATED Use the new maps API instead. See answer from punksta.
After using AZ13's solution above, and running into the problem mentioned in the comments, I created the following solution, that solves the issue more reliably. However, since I am using a timer after the onRelease event to determine whether the map is still animating, there is a slight delay in this solution.
The code can be found on Github via this link: https://github.com/MadsFrandsen/MapStateListener
My solution can be used from an activity in the following way:
new MapStateListener(mMap, mMapFragment, this) {
@Override
public void onMapTouched() {
// Map touched
}
@Override
public void onMapReleased() {
// Map released
}
@Override
public void onMapUnsettled() {
// Map unsettled
}
@Override
public void onMapSettled() {
// Map settled
}
};
I would try a onCameraChangeListener. The listener is called every time a movement of the camera is finished. The listener will also give you the new location. In my tests the listener was called pretty often during dragging maybe there is a better solution.
Starting with play-services-maps 9.4.0 you can simply use GoogleMap.OnCameraMoveStartedListener
, GoogleMap.OnCameraMoveListener
and GoogleMap.OnCameraIdleListener
.
If, for some reason, you want to use the older API which is now deprecated you can use onCameraChangeListener
. But you have to be aware of two things:
onCameraChange()
might be called many times while you drag the map OR only once (when dragging stopped).onCameraChange()
can be slightly different from the final camera position.The following code takes both issues into account:
private static final int MESSAGE_ID_SAVE_CAMERA_POSITION = 1;
private static final int MESSAGE_ID_READ_CAMERA_POSITION = 2;
private CameraPosition lastCameraPosition;
private Handler handler;
private GoogleMap googleMap;
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap theGoogleMap) {
googleMap = theGoogleMap;
handler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (msg.what == MESSAGE_ID_SAVE_CAMERA_POSITION) {
lastCameraPosition = googleMap.getCameraPosition();
} else if (msg.what == MESSAGE_ID_READ_CAMERA_POSITION) {
if (lastCameraPosition.equals(googleMap.getCameraPosition())) {
Log.d(LOG, "Camera position stable");
}
}
}
};
googleMap.setOnCameraChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnCameraChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onCameraChange(CameraPosition cameraPosition) {
handler.removeMessages(MESSAGE_ID_SAVE_CAMERA_POSITION);
handler.removeMessages(MESSAGE_ID_READ_CAMERA_POSITION);
handler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(MESSAGE_ID_SAVE_CAMERA_POSITION, 300);
handler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(MESSAGE_ID_READ_CAMERA_POSITION, 600);
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event, MapView mapView){
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
return true;
return false;
}

The simplest way is to use setOnCameraIdleListener method to handle your move end state of touch listener on your map fragment. see the example below:
mMap.setOnCameraMoveStartedListener(new GoogleMap.OnCameraMoveStartedListener() {
@Override
public void onCameraMoveStarted(int i) {
mapPin.startAnimation(animZoomOut);
}
});
mMap.setOnCameraIdleListener(new GoogleMap.OnCameraIdleListener() {
@Override
public void onCameraIdle() {
mapPin.startAnimation(animZoomIn);
}
});
I think the event onclick in the map is: map.setOnMapClick... But event drag is: map.onCameraChangeListener because I call a log.e in both of that functions and it shown like onClick view and onDrag view . So just using them for you.
Enhanced solution with an Handler inner Class in Xamarin Android, based on Tobus answer:
public void OnMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap)
{
_googleMap = googleMap;
if (_googleMap != null)
{
_cameraPositionHandler = new CameraPositionlHandler(_googleMap);
_googleMap.CameraChange += OnCameraChanged;
}
}
void OnCameraChanged (object sender, GoogleMap.CameraChangeEventArgs e)
{
_cameraPositionHandler.RemoveMessages(MESSAGE_ID_SAVE_CAMERA_POSITION);
_cameraPositionHandler.RemoveMessages(MESSAGE_ID_READ_CAMERA_POSITION);
_cameraPositionHandler.SendEmptyMessageDelayed(MESSAGE_ID_SAVE_CAMERA_POSITION, 300);
_cameraPositionHandler.SendEmptyMessageDelayed(MESSAGE_ID_READ_CAMERA_POSITION, 600);
}
With the following inner Class:
private class CameraPositionlHandler : Handler
{
private CameraPosition _lastCameraPosition;
private GoogleMap _googleMap;
public CameraPositionlHandler (GoogleMap googleMap)
{
_googleMap = googleMap;
}
public override void HandleMessage(Message msg)
{
if (_googleMap != null)
{
if (msg.What == MESSAGE_ID_SAVE_CAMERA_POSITION) {
_lastCameraPosition = _googleMap.CameraPosition;
} else if (msg.What == MESSAGE_ID_READ_CAMERA_POSITION) {
if (_lastCameraPosition.Equals(_googleMap.CameraPosition)) {
Console.WriteLine("Camera position stable");
//do what you want
}
}
}
}
}
On camera idle is what you should use now
googleMap.setOnCameraIdleListener(new GoogleMap.OnCameraIdleListener() {
@Override
public void onCameraIdle() {
//Called when camera movement has ended, there are no pending animations and the user has stopped interacting with the map.
}
});
