AndroidLocation with Zoom Level Control, using SeekBar

Further works on last exercise, MapView to center on the current location from GPS. A SeekBar to change Zoom Level is implemented. Also add valid checking in Start-up Location, skip if invalid; to prevent from Unexpected Stop.



Modify main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

<LinearLayout

<TextView

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Longitude:"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/latitude"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Latitude:"
/>
<SeekBar
android:id="@+id/zoombar"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:max="20"
android:progress="0"/>
</LinearLayout>
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:id="@+id/mapview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:clickable="false"
android:apiKey="-----Your Own API Key here-------------"

  1. You are my go to for tutorials. Thank you for that. I am working with maps rite now and "MapController" is not being recognized. Any suggestions to work around this or solve?
