Hi,

This b4Xlib contains a custom view (cvMap) which can display Open Street Map.

View attachment 109081



The tiles are retrieved from the internet and cached in a database. You can add shapes and images on the map.

UI :
- Lat/lng Center of the map
- Zoom Level
- Compass Direction with rotation
- Scale
- Button Menu
- Grid
- Center
- GPS position and bearing

Event :
- ready
- Lat/lng changed
- Zoom Level Changed
- Compass Direction Changed
- Shape Clicked
- Map Clicked
- Center Lat/lng clicked
- Button Menu clicked
- Scale clicked
- Compass Clicked
- GPS Clicked

Tile Server
2 new properties :

• tileServer : Choose your tile server (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_servers), default : https://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/
• userAgent : request to the tile server requires a user agent in the header. You can now set your own user Agent : default : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0

This 2 properties are available in the designer or with setter/getter from the cvmap : userAgent, tileServer

Dependencies :
- Core
- SQL
- OKHttpUtils2
- XUI
- XUI views

Other files in the b4xlib :
- coMapUtilities : code module with Types, functions, helpers
- clTileManager : standard class module to load tile from database and/or internet and save them into the database
- clMapShapeCirgle : standard class to draw circle on the map
- clMapShapeLine : standard class to draw line on the map
- clMapShapePolygon : standard class to draw polygon on the map
- clMapShapeImage : standard class to draw image on the map
- layout cvmap.bal and cvmap.bjl
- images for the compass and gps



How to use it :
- Just add the cvMap custom view with the designer
- create sub to handle events if necessary
- set options (lat/lng, zoom.....)

B4A example and B4J example included

As a map buff I'm very interested in this, however I may be being stupid but I can't see the zip!

EDIT: I see it's just magically appeared - thank you.

New Version :
Add GPS Layer

Show the GPS Position and direction (black circle with blue arrow for direction)

lots of work! i'm guessing geocoding will be included in the next version. in keeping with your osm link, if you need any help with nominatim, let me know.

 

[Star-Dust]

Very interesting, good job.
Do you think it can also work on B4J and B4i?

Do you think it can also work on B4J and B4i?

Try? ?

 

[Star-Dust]

Try? ?

It was an understatement to say if it would make it cross-platform.

Thank you.

For B4J, it should not be too difficult
For BAI : I don't know, I don't use it

You are right.

This class is now a B4XLib for B4A and B4J, sorry I don't use B4I.

Copy B4Xmap.b4xlib in your additional folder

Two examples : B4Amap.b4a and B4Jmap.b4j

Thank's. If you let me I will try to go for B4i in the next few days

1) convert the layout cvmap.bal
2) look for each #if B4A in cvmap.bas, clmaptilemanager.bas and write specific B4I code

I hope it will be ok

I will be trying it today both on b4a and b4i...

Can it use offline maps?

and b4i...

The examples are for B4A and B4J. I don´t think it will work on B4i.

B4I is not supported, only B4A and B4J

the tiles are retrieved from internet (open street map server) and store in a database. So, offline, you can see tiles that you have already seen once.

You're right, I don't use B4I, only B4A and B4J.

Perhaps it's not difficult to adapt for B4I. Most of the code use B4X element (B4XView,B4XBitmap,B4XCanvas...)

 

[Star-Dust]

I have adapted a version for b4i. Obviously it would have been much better to recreate everything with B4XPages, but I don't have the time.

PS. I have not reported everything on B4XLib. If I can in the next few days
PS.2. (Hint) Maybe all panel/pane declarations should be changed in B4XView and created panels with XUI.CreatePanel.

Thank you for your work.

I don't use B4XPage for this project because of the single orientation wich is B4A is a problem for this kind of application.

PS2 : You're right, I will change in the next update

Thanks to Star-Dust for his advices and his translation in B4I

Small update with xui.Createpanel instead "dim p as pane" (B4J) or "dim as panel" (B4A).

B4Xmap.b4xlib updated in Post #1
