OMH Maps 1.0 Client Library

Note: This repository will be deprecated in August 2024. Developers should use the following repositories:

Overview

OMH Maps Client Library is an Android SDK that simplifies the integration of maps on both Google Mobile Services (GMS) and non-GMS devices. It provides a unified interface and components for a consistent map experience, eliminating the need for separate codebases for different Android builds. This repository contains a detailed Getting Started guide to help developers learn and effectively implement the OMH Maps Client Library into their Android projects. For a general overview and understanding of the philosophy behind OMH, please visit the official website at https://www.openmobilehub.com.

A single codebase, running seamlessly on any device

For instance, the following screenshots showcase multiple devices with Android, both with GMS and Non-GMS. The same app works without changing a single line of code, supporting multiple map provider implementations (Google Maps and OpenStreetMap).

Getting started

This section describes how to setup an Android Studio project to use the OMH Maps SDK for Android. For greater ease, a base code will be used within the repository.

Note: To quickly run a full-featured app with all OMH Maps functionality, refer to the Sample App section and follow the provided steps.

Set up the development environment

  1. Android Studio is required. If you haven't already done so, download and install it.
  2. Ensure that you are using the Android Gradle plugin version 7.0 or later in Android Studio.

Clone the repository

To clone the repository and checkout the starter-code branch, use the following command in your Terminal:

git clone --branch starter-code https://github.com/openmobilehub/omh-maps.git

Set up your Google Cloud project for applications with Google Services(Google Maps)

Complete the required Cloud Console setup following the next steps, for more information see Documentation

Steps

Set up your project

  1. In the Google Maps Cloud Console, on the project selector page, click Create Project to begin creating a new Cloud project, Go to the project selector page.
  2. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Cloud project, Confirm that billing is enabled for your project.

Enable APIs

  1. To use Google Maps Platform, you must enable the APIs or SDKs you plan to use with your project, Enable the Maps SDK for Android.

Get an API Key

  1. This step only goes through the API Key creation process. If you use your API Key in production, we strongly recommend that you restrict your API key. You can find more information in the product-specific Using API Keys page.
  2. The API key is a unique identifier that authenticates requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes. You must have at least one API key associated with your project.
  3. Go to the Google Maps Platform > Credentials page, Go to the Credentials page.
  4. On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key. The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key.
  5. Click Close. The new API key is listed on the Credentials page under API keys. (Remember to restrict the API key before using it in production.)

Note: To continue it is necessary to complete the creation of an API key. If you had problems please visit Set up your Google Cloud project.

Add the API key to your app

You should not check your API key into your version control system, so it is recommended storing it in the local.properties file, which is located in the root directory of your project. For more information about the local.properties file, see Gradle properties files.

  1. Open the local.properties in the project level directory, and then add the following code. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key.

    MAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

  2. Save the file.

  3. In your maps-starter-sample module level AndroidManifest.xmlfile, under the application element add the meta-data element as follows:

    <manifest ...>
   <application ...>
      ...
      <meta-data
         android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
         android:value="${MAPS_API_KEY}" />
   </application>
</manifest>

  4. In your "maps-starter-sample" module-level AndroidManifest.xml add the required permissions, for more information see permissions.

    <manifest ...>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
   <application ...>
      ...
   </application>
</manifest>

Gradle configuration

To integrate the OMH Maps into your project, it is necessary to add a few Gradle dependencies.

Add OMH Core plugin

To incorporate OMH Maps into your project, you have two options: utilize the OMH Core Plugin or directly include the OMH Client libraries dependencies. The subsequent instructions will outline the necessary steps for including the OMH Core Plugin as a Gradle dependency.

  1. In your maps-starter-sample" module-level build.gradleunder theplugins` element add the plugin id.

    plugins {
   ...
   id("com.openmobilehub.android.omh-core")
}

  2. Save the file and sync Project with Gradle Files.

Configure the OMH Core plugin

In this sample app, we utilize the omhConfig definition to expand the capabilities of the existing Android Studio variants. For more details, refer to the OMH Core Plugin Docs.

Basic configuration

  1. In your maps-starter-sample module-level build.gradle file add the following code at the end of the file.
...
dependencies {
   ...
}

omhConfig {
   bundle("singleBuild") {
      maps {
         gmsService {
            dependency = "com.openmobilehub.android:maps-api-googlemaps:1.0"
         }
         nonGmsService {
            dependency = "com.openmobilehub.android:maps-api-openstreetmap:1.0"
         }
      }
   }
   bundle("gms") {
      maps {
         gmsService {
            dependency = "com.openmobilehub.android:maps-api-googlemaps:1.0"
         }
      }
   }
   bundle("nonGms") {
      maps {
         nonGmsService {
            dependency = "com.openmobilehub.android:maps-api-openstreetmap:1.0"
         }
      }
   }
}

In this step, you defined the OMH Core Plugin bundles to generate multiple build variants with specific suffixes as their names. For example, if your project has release and debug variants with singleBuild, gms, and nonGms OMH bundles, the following build variants will be generated:

  • releaseSingleBuild, releaseGms, and releaseNonGms
  • debugSingleBuild, debugGms, and debugNonGms
Variant singleBuild

  • Define the Service. In this example is maps.

  • Define the ServiceDetails. In this example are gmsService and nonGmsService.

  • Define the dependency and the path. In this example are com.openmobilehub.android:maps-api-googlemaps:1.0" and com.openmobilehub.android:maps-api-openstreetmap:1.0.

    Note: It's important to observe how a single build encompasses both GMS and Non-GMS configurations.

Variant gms

  • Define the Service. In this example is maps.

  • Define the ServiceDetails . In this example is gmsService.

  • Define the dependency and the path. In this example is com.openmobilehub.android:maps-api-googlemaps:1.0".

    Note: gms build covers only GMS (Google Mobile Services).

Variant nonGms

  • Define the Service. In this example is maps.

  • Define the ServiceDetails . In this example is nonGmsService.

  • Define the dependency and the path. In this example is com.openmobilehub.android:maps-api-openstreetmap:1.0.

    Note: nonGms build covers only Non-GMS configurations.

  1. Save and sync Project with Gradle Files.

  2. Now you can select a build variant. To change the build variant Android Studio uses, do one of the following:

    • Select Build > Select Build Variant... in the menu.
    • Select View > Tool Windows > Build Variants in the menu.
    • Click the Build Variants tab on the tool window bar.

  3. You can select any of the 3 variants for the :Maps-starter-sample:

    • singleBuild variant builds for GMS (Google Mobile Services) and Non-GMS devices without changes to the code.(Recommended)
    • gms variant builds for devices that has GMS (Google Mobile Services).
    • nonGms variant builds for devices that doesn't have GMS (Google Mobile Services).

    Note: In the rest of this guide, we will use the debugSingleBuild variant to demonstrate the same build running on GMS and Non-GMS devices.

  4. Open maps-starter-sample module-level MainApplication class and add the required imports below the package name. The file is in the same level as the MainActivity:

    import com.omh.android.maps.api.factories.OmhMapProvider

    Then initialize the OmhMapProvider as follows:

     class MainApplication : Application() {

     override fun onCreate() {
         super.onCreate()
         
     OmhMapProvider.Initiator()
         .addGmsPath(BuildConfig.MAPS_GMS_PATH)
         .addNonGmsPath(BuildConfig.MAPS_NON_GMS_PATH)
         .initialize()
     }
 }

    Important: If you encounter the error "Missing BuildConfig.MAPS_GMS_PATH and BuildConfig.MAPS_NON_GMS_PATH in BuildConfig class". Follow the next steps:

    • Sync Project with Gradle Files.
    • Select Build from the menu at the top in Android Studio.
    • Click on Clean Project and await.
    • Click on Rebuild Project and await.

Add the map into your app

The main interfaces that you will be interacting with are called OmhMap, OmhMapView and OmhLocation. It contains all your basic maps and location functions like displaying a marker, map gestures, getting current location and more. Additionally a fragment OmhMapFragment is provided, this fragment manages the life cycle of the map.

Add a Map fragment

OmhMapFragment is the simplest way to place a map in an application. Fragment has to declare android:name that sets the class name of the fragment to OmhMapFragment, which is the fragment type used in the maps fragment file.

  1. Insert the XML fragment snippet into the fragment_map.xml.
...
    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/fragment_map_container"
        android:name="com.omh.android.maps.api.presentation.fragments.OmhMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
...

And the complete fragment's layout should look similar to this example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MapFragment">

   <fragment
           android:id="@+id/fragment_map_container"
           android:name="com.omh.android.maps.api.presentation.fragments.OmhMapFragment"
           android:layout_width="0dp"
           android:layout_height="0dp"
           app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
           app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
           app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
           app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
  1. Change the variant to debugSingleBuild.
  2. Click Run for the maps-starter-sample.

Display your current location

An OmhMap must be acquired using getMapAsync(OmhOnMapReadyCallback). This class automatically initializes the maps system and the view.

  1. Implement the OmhOnMapReadyCallback interface and override the onMapReady() method, to set up the map when the OmhMap object is available:

     import android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
 import android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
 import android.content.pm.PackageManager
 import android.os.Bundle
 import android.util.Log
 import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment
 import android.view.LayoutInflater
 import android.view.View
 import android.view.ViewGroup
 import androidx.activity.result.contract.ActivityResultContracts
 import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat
 import com.omh.android.maps.api.factories.OmhMapProvider
 import com.omh.android.maps.api.presentation.fragments.OmhMapFragment
 import com.omh.android.maps.api.presentation.interfaces.location.OmhFailureListener
 import com.omh.android.maps.api.presentation.interfaces.location.OmhSuccessListener
 import com.omh.android.maps.api.presentation.interfaces.maps.OmhMap
 import com.omh.android.maps.api.presentation.interfaces.maps.OmhOnMapReadyCallback
 import com.omh.android.maps.api.presentation.models.OmhMarkerOptions
 import com.omh.android.maps.starter_sample.databinding.FragmentMapBinding

 class MapFragment : Fragment(), OmhOnMapReadyCallback {

     // ...

     override fun onMapReady(omhMap: OmhMap) {
         if (!hasPermissions()) {
             Log.e("permission error", "Not required permissions to get current location")
             return
         }
     
         val onSuccessListener = OmhSuccessListener { omhCoordinate ->
             omhMap.moveCamera(omhCoordinate, 15f)
             val omhMarkerOptions = OmhMarkerOptions().apply { 
                 title = "My Current Location"
                 position = omhCoordinate 
             }
             omhMap.addMarker(omhMarkerOptions)
         }
         val onFailureListener = OmhFailureListener { exception ->
             Log.e("location error", exception.localizedMessage, exception)
         }
         // Safe use of 'noinspection MissingPermission' since it is checking permissions in the if condition
         // noinspection MissingPermission
         OmhMapProvider.getInstance().provideOmhLocation(requireContext()).getCurrentLocation(onSuccessListener, onFailureListener)
     }
 
     private fun hasPermissions() = arrayOf(ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION).all {
         ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(requireContext(), it) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
     }
 }

  2. In your fragment's onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) method, get the OmhMapFragment by calling FragmentManager.findFragmentById(). Then use getMapAsync() to register for the map callback:

     override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
     super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

     // Request permissions, this can be done in another way, see https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting
     registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()) {
         // Obtain the OmhMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
         val omhMapFragment = childFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_map_container) as? OmhMapFragment
         omhMapFragment?.getMapAsync(this)
     }.launch(arrayOf(ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION))
 }

  3. Click Run for the maps-starter-sample menu option (or the play button icon) to run your app and see the map with the device's location.

    Important: For a better experience and accuracy try a phone with a SIM card.
