Example project using Android Google maps SDK on Android with Jetpack compose.
This has changed within the last year or so. Now there's a new compose API for Google maps. Previously we had to use an AndroidView
. Technically this new API (GoogleMap
) still uses an AndroidView
under the hood, but it's easier to work with.
Asking for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
permission. This is required to show the users location on the map.
Display polygons with markers.
Display your location (if you've accepted the permission).
- You will need to enable billing on your google cloud console to complete this example. You won't be charged anything as long as you stay under the daily request limit. Then add your API key to
local.properties
.
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=<YOUR_KEY>
- If the user declines the permission request twice they will need to manually enable the permission from system settings for the app (or uninstall and reinstall). That's a whole other topic - I'm just assuming they accept in this example.
- Need
androidx.appcompat:appcompat
dependency forMapEffect
. I was seeing anAppCompatTextView
exception being thrown if I didn't include it.
