how to programmatically move a mapView (osmdroid)
android, android-mapview, java, osmdroid, touch-event
Solution
You can call `mapView.scrollTo(x, y)`.
Another possibility is `mapView.getController().animateTo()` (with animation) or `mapView.getController().setCenter()` (without animation).
It takes an IGeoPoint as a parameter which you can instantiate with your coordinates:
new GeoPoint(latitude, longitude)
Problem
I have a LinearLayout with a mapView, zoomIn button, zoomOut button. the app receives touchevents and it is supposed to manage the LinearLayout children with the given information (X coordinate, Y coordinate , type of touch event) I am able to zoomIn and ZoomOut with the following code, but I am not able to move the map: ``` @Override public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent event) { int action = event.getAction(); switch(action) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: savedTouchedX = event.getX(); savedTouchedY = event.getY(); break; case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: doPanning(event, mapView); break; case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: doPanning(event, mapView); savedTouchedX = -1; savedTouchedY = -1; break; default: break; } return true; } }); //move mapView private boolean doPanning(MotionEvent e, MapView mapView) { if(savedTouchedX >= 0 && savedTouchedY >= 0) { IGeoPoint mapCenter = mapView.getMapCenter(); GeoPoint panToCenter = new GeoPoint((int)(mapCenter.getLatitudeE6() + (e.getY() - savedTouchedY) * 1E5),(int)(mapCenter.getLongitudeE6() - (e.getX() - savedTouchedX) * 1E5)); mapView.getController().setCenter(panToCenter); } savedTouchedX = e.getX(); savedTouchedY = e.getY(); return true; } .... public void lookForButton(String msg){ String[] strArray = msg.split(" "); final MotionEvent m; int x=Integer.valueOf(strArray[1]); int y=Integer.valueOf(strArray[2]); int type=Integer.valueOf(strArray[3]); switch (type){ case 2: m = MotionEvent.obtain(226707,226707,0/*ACTION_DOWN*/,x,y,0); runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { memecontentView.dispatchTouchEvent(m); } }); break; case 3: m = MotionEvent.obtain(226707,226707,1/*ACTION_UP*/,x,y,0); runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { memecontentView.dispatchTouchEvent(m); } }); break; case 5: m = MotionEvent.obtain(226707,226707,2/*ACTION_MOVE*/,x,y,0); runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { memecontentView.dispatchTouchEvent(m); } }); break; } } public void ZoomInButton(View v){ mapView.getController().zoomIn(); } public void ZoomOutButton(View v){ mapView.getController().zoomOut(); } ``` How can I programmatically move mapview with the given information (X coordinate, Y coordinate , type of touch event)?
