(WIP) Kotlin extensions (KTX) for the HUAWEI Map Kit and its Utility Library.

Maps Android KTX

Description

This repository contains Kotlin extensions (KTX) for:

1. The Maps SDK for Android
2. The Maps SDK for Android Utility Library

It enables you to write more concise, idiomatic Kotlin. Each set of extensions can be used independently or together.

Requirements

• Kotlin-enabled project
• Kotlin coroutines
• API level 15+

Installation

If you are using the Maps SDK through Google Play Services:

dependencies {

    // KTX for the Maps SDK for Android library
    implementation 'com.google.maps.android:maps-ktx:2.1.1'

    // KTX for the Maps SDK for Android Utility Library
    implementation 'com.google.maps.android:maps-utils-ktx:2.1.1'

    // It is recommended to also include the latest Maps SDK and/or Utility Library versions
    // as well to ensure that you have the latest features and bug fixes.
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:17.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:2.1.1'
}

Alternatively, if you are using the Maps SDK through the standalone V3 BETA distribution:

dependencies {

    // KTX for the Maps SDK for Android V3 BETA Library
    implementation 'com.google.maps.android:maps-v3-ktx:2.1.1'

    // KTX for the Maps SDK for Android V3 BETA Utility Library
    implementation 'com.google.maps.android:maps-utils-v3-ktx:2.1.1'

    // It is recommended to also include the latest Maps SDK and/or Utility Library versions
    // as well to ensure that you have the latest features and bug fixes.
    implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.maps:maps:2.1.1-beta'
    implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils-v3:2.1.1'
}

Example Usage

With this KTX library, you should be able to take advantage of several Kotlin language features such as extension functions, named parameters and default arguments, destructuring declarations, and coroutines.

Demo App

This repository includes a demo app that illustrates the use of this KTX library.

To run the demo app, you'll have to:

1. Get a Maps API key
2. Create a file in the app directory called secure.properties (this file should NOT be under version control to protect your API key)
3. Add a single line to app/secure.properties that looks like MAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY, where YOUR_API_KEY is the API key you obtained in the first step
4. Build and run

Maps SDK KTX

Extension functions

Adding a Marker:

Before

GoogleMap googleMap = // ...
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-33.852, 151.211);
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions()
    .position(Sydney)
    .title("Marker in Sydney");
Marker marker = googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);

After

val googleMap = // ...
val sydney = LatLng(-33.852, 151.211)
val marker = googleMap.addMarker {
    position(sydney)
    title("Marker in Sydney")
}

Coroutines

Accessing a GoogleMap instance can be retrieved using coroutines vs. traditional the callback mechanism. The example here demonstrates how you can use this feature alongside with Lifecycle-aware coroutine scopes provided in Android’s Architecture Components. To use this, you'll need to add the following to your build.gradle dependencies: implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:<latest-version>'

Before

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    SupportMapFragment mapFragment = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));

    mapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback {
        @Override
        public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
            // Access GoogleMap instance here
        }
    });
}

After

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    val mapFragment = supportFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map) as? SupportMapFragment

    lifecycle.coroutineScope.launchWhenCreated {
        val googleMap = mapFragment?.awaitMap()
    }
}

Flow

Note: The following feature utilizes an experimental coroutine API. To use this, you will have to add the @OptIn(ExperimentalCoroutinesApi::class) at the site of its usage as well as the compiler flag -Xopt-in=kotlin.RequiresOptIn.

Listing to camera events can be collected via Kotlin Flow.

�_Before_

val googleMap = //...
googleMap.setOnCameraIdleListener = { //... }
googleMap.setOnCameraMoveCanceledListener { //... }
googleMap.setOnCameraMoveListener { //... }
googleMap.setOnCameraMoveStartedListener { //... }

After

// To be invoked within a coroutine scope
googleMap.cameraEvents().collect { event ->
    when (event) {
        is CameraIdleEvent -> //...
        is CameraMoveCanceledEvent -> //...
        is CameraMoveEvent -> //...
        Is CameraMoveStartedEvent -> //...
    }
}

Maps SDK for Android Utilities KTX

Extension functions

Checking if a LatLng is contained within a Polygon:

Before

Polygon polygon = // some polygon
LatLng latlng = // some latlng
boolean result = PolygonUtil.containsLocation(latlng, polygon.getPoints(), true);

After

val polygon: Polygon = // some polygon
val latlng: LatLng = // some latlng
val result: Boolean = polygon.contains(latLng)

Named parameters and default arguments

Creating a GeoJsonLayer object:

Before

GeoJsonLayer layer = new GeoJsonLayer(
    map, 
    geoJsonFile, 
    null, 
    polygonManager, 
    null, 
    groundOverlayManager
);

After

val layer = geoJsonLayer(
    map = map,
    geoJsonFile = geoJsonFile,
    polygonManager = polygonManager,
    groundOverlayManager = groundOverlayManager
)

Destructuring Declarations

Destructuring properties of a Point:

Before

Point point = new Point(1.0, 2.0);
double x = point.x;
double y = point.y;

After

val point = Point(1.0, 2.0)
val (x, y) = point
