Android MapActivity on map movement

Question

I want to monitor when someone moves to another place on the map in a MapActivity but I have no idea how to do that. Maybe some sort of OnMapChange() listener?

you might want to look into the onDraw method somewhere.. it will get called when the view needs to draw itself(like when the map is changing, moving, etc). just a thought – Ernaline

You can extend the MapView class to add the necessary map change event. http://bricolsoftconsulting.com/extending-mapview-to-add-a-change-event/

The post above shows you how to detect zooming and panning via virtually every way you can interact with the map: swipe (for pan), zoom control +/- (for zooming) and pinch (for combined pan and zoom).

Great project! Thank you for the link. I cleaned the repository somewhat in my fork. – Jacobsohn

I also have a small MapView class with three events, onClick, onPan and onZoom on my blog here. – Eponym
