B4J Library jSD_OpenMaps

Star-Dust · Mar 11, 2025

As many currently know GoogleMaps' Webapi do not work correctly on the webview because the latest versions use webgl

I decided to do a new library that uses OpenMap and Leaflet with the same methods and events of the Googlemaps library. I also created a second OpenMapext class that adds some GoogleMapsExt commands to maintain compatibility and minimize changes to the existing code. The code we used with GMAPS with Javaobject to obtain extra functions is no longer usable. Tested with Java 19,

B4i and B4i version here

Update 1.16

Fixed the bug. If you had more maps that raised the events all in the first map

I have laid the foundations for a multiplatform version.
At the moment it is in the B4A version and is being tested, subsequently I will make the necessary modifications to also work on B4I...

Several commands have changed because in B4A and B4I they become asynchronous and you will need to use 'WAIT FOR'. This means that the B4J source will not be perfectly compatible with the B4A/B4i source

Star-Dust · Feb 22, 2026

Update rel. 1.17

LatLonToAddress (lat As Double, lon As Double) As ResumableSub

    Log($"Click: ${Point.Latitude} - ${Point.Longitude}"$)
    WAIT FOR (GMapExt.LatLonToAddress(Point.Latitude,Point.Longitude)) COMPLETE (Address As String)
    Log(Address)
End Sub
