I have solved this issue by following the below mentioned link

__https://bingmapsandroidsdk.codeplex.com/workitem/3__

Also you have to remove the splash screen in order to work it seamlessly. Hoping it will help somebody :)

New Post: Bing Maps Android SDK develoepr account required

rbrundritt — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:29:32 GMT

You can find where to insert this in the Constants file in the SDK. There is a property on the first line called BingMapsKey: http://bingmapsandroidsdk.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/70a7aec40f92#BingMapsAndroidSDK/src/org/bingmaps/app/Constants.java

That said, the recommended approach for targeting all mobile platforms is to use the Bing Maps V7 AJAX control directly and host inside of a WebBrowser control or to use PhoneGap. This Android SDK is deprecated.

New Post: Zoom function

sssjjcc — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:56:09 GMT

Hi,

I have checked the BingmapsSDK source code and have one question for the zoom function. Why does BingmapsSDK need to overrite the onTouchEvent function on org.bingmaps.sdk.BingMapsView? The zoom function seems much smoother when I remove the overrite function. Does anyone have any idea? My testing target is Nexus S, Android 4.1.2.

New Post: Zoom function

sssjjcc — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:22:20 GMT

Hi All

I had implemented zoom function on my app. But sometime it's not too smooth when using gesture to zoom in/out.

I checked the source code, it did call JavaScript zoom function when doing zoom in/out, but it seems not work.

Does anybody have the same problem and know who to solve it?

Here is the source

	this.ZoomIn = function(x, y){
		var z = _map.getZoom();
		_map.setView({ zoom: z + 1 });
	};
	
	this.ZoomOut = function(x, y){
		var z = _map.getZoom();
		_map.setView({ zoom: z - 1 });
	};

Actually, I didn't change any code of BingMapsAndroidSDK.

Thanks.

New Post: Offline caching - Bing Maps Android SDK

Storing any of the map data offline is against the terms of use for Bing Maps and not allowed.

Is there a place to report violations of those terms of use?

Because I would like to save time explaining to customers that we can't cache Bing Aerial Iimagery for offline use when they say "Well, this other Android app is doing it".

I'll name names. Trimble Outdoors.

If there is some licensing scheme that makes this available, then let me know. Every answer I have received from Bing is consistent with the above. Caching tiles is never allowed ever under any possible licensing scheme.

New Post: EntityClickedListener problem

Ivan846 — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:19:59 GMT

Hi guys
I have this kind of problem :
I added HashMap metadata for valid Pushpin p into EntityLayer pointsLayer

p.Title = point.getTitle();
HashMap<String, Object> metadata = new HashMap<String, Object>();
metadata.put(Constants.Codes.POINT_DESCR, point.getDescr());
metadata.put(Constants.Codes.POINT_TITLE, point.getTitle());
pointsLayer.add(p,metadata);

Pushpin p has a title, so it can be clicked on a map. I didn't change any code inside BingMapsView.java or BingMapsAndroid.js or default EntityClickedListener inside Initialize() method.
Inside DialogLauncher.java is code for displaying AlertDialog with information about Pushpin p (title, description)

My problem is, that this AlertDialog is displayed 2 times. After debugging I found out, that the method

entityClicked(String layerName, int entityId)

inside

BingMapsView.java -> final class BingMapsJavaScriptInterface
is called twice, so that's why the AlertDialog is also showed twice.
I need to know, why is this happening, and how to show the AlertDialog once, and how to make entityClicked method being called once too

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm asking this question in the right place but If I'm not, you can at least, point me in the right direction.

I'm developing an Android Application and I'm using the Bing Maps Android SDK. But, I need to cache a city for the user, even without internet connection, still be able to see the city map.

So, basically I need to cache a small portion of the map for offline use.

Is that possible with this SDK?

Many thanks,

Luís

New Post: Use Bing Maps V7 with PhoneGap

rbrundritt — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 08:42:34 GMT

This SDK was created a while ago and is only supported on Android 2.x devices. This SDK is built on top of the Bing Maps V7 AJAX control. This control can also be used to create web based application that work on Android devices. In addition it can also be used with PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com) if you want to create a native application. This is the recommended development route as this will allow all new functionality in Bing Maps v7 to become instantly available to your application.

New Post: can't get project to work in Eclipse

spGaryDeanBlakely — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:37:21 GMT

I downloaded BingMapsAndroidSDK_v1.5 and I can't get it to build in Eclipse. Keeps saying the manifest file is missing. Also, there is clearly no support so I guess I will use google maps instead.

New Post: Is this the main Bing Maps on Android platform

spGaryDeanBlakely — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:57:43 GMT

I'm thinking of using Bing Maps on Android and I'm checking out whats going on. This forum is Dead. The few posts here, most don't have responses.

So, what's going on? If this is THE forum for this technology then it's DOA, no?

New Post: map not updating when scrolling until finger up

mospehraict — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:00:54 GMT

Hi, I tried to use this SDK on Android, and have a question. When I am scrolling the map (with my finger), when the map scrolls to the unknown part (the part which tiles haven't been loaded yet), it doesn't seem to refresh until the finger is up. The question is if this is by design, or there's some way to force refresh during the scrolling, which would look much more user-friendly. Thanks

New Post: Getting distance from Bing API

danuofr12 — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:49:58 GMT

Hello all,

The code below is receiving information for turn by turn instructions but I am lacking the distance field in the JSON object. Am I missing a option to get this field. Otherwise the data is sorted by distance so I am not sure why I couldn't get the distance value.

Thanks!
