GoogleMaps on android.

[Rocotoco Rodriguez]

Shai: i was looking about how to set the maximum zoom in a map and i found in https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/GoogleMap were i found the   GoogleMap.setMaxZoomPreference function who looks like what i need.

the problem is when i try to compile in androd , so the compiler returns the following error:

Compiling with JDK Java compiler API.
/tmp/build8361734456919142315xxx/MyApplication/src/main/java/com/codename1/googlemaps/InternalNativeMapsStub.java:45: error: incompatible types: void cannot be converted to int
        return impl.setMaxZoom(param0);
                              ^
/tmp/build8361734456919142315xxx/MyApplication/src/main/java/com/codename1/googlemaps/InternalNativeMapsImpl.java:492: error: cannot find symbol
                GoogleMap.setMaxZoomPreference(parZoom);
                         ^
  symbol:   method setMaxZoomPreference(int)
  location: class GoogleMap

Its possible that the google maps sdk is out of date on the server?

 Shai: i Found in the web that function is available in com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.4.0  , but searching in the error log, i found you use com.google.android.gms/play-services-maps/8.3.0/

how i can upgrade the version?

can you help me?

As far as I can tell we always use the latest: https://github.com/codenameone/codenameone-google-maps/

Where did you get the 8.3 number from?

[Rocotoco Rodriguez]

Shai: right now i dont find the page where i read it, but if you check https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/releases youll see that in the latest version , the api allows to set the maximum and the minimum zoom in the map.

i want to contribute with the project adding new functionalities, but im lost right now about how to improve that.

please, tell me why i cant use that procedure in the curret scenario.

thnks!

OK, looking at this again I see that this relates to the Android build process which currently depends on play services 8.3.
You can file an RFE to update it to the latest.

[Rocotoco Rodriguez]

Sorry, but what is a RFE? where?
