How can I handle map move end using Google Maps fo

Question

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)

Answer 1

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.
        }
 });

OUTDATED Use the new maps API instead.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
  }
};

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();
}

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:

1. onCameraChange() might be called many times while you drag the map OR only once (when dragging stopped).
2. The camera position in the last call of 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);
        }
    });
}

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);
    }
});

Answer 6

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.
