This is a skeleton projects + full tutorial for using Google Maps v2 on Android with ActionBarSherlock 4.3.1

Introduction

This repository contains a number of projects that will help you get up to speed with Google Maps v2 on Android with ActionBarSherlock 4.3.1

It contains the following folders

• GoogleMapsV2SkeletonV11 (Skeleton project targetted at API level 11 and higher)
• GoogleMapsV2SkeletonV8 (Skeleton project using Support Library targetted at API level 8 and higher)
• GoogleMapsV2WithActionBarSherlock (the complete sample application)
• ActionBarSherlock (The ActionBar we all love, available in this repository for your convenience.)
• google-play-services_lib (The Google Play Services lib, available in this repository for your convenience.)

Note : This project was created for Eclipse ADT so on the master branch you can checkout the projects, import them in Eclipse and you should be good to go. For people working with Android Studio, I've created a new branch called androidstudio_migration1 where you can checkout a Gradle enable version that you can import in Android Studio and get started immediately.

API keys

In order to run this application on your phone you'll first need to get an API key.

Instructions on how to setup your API key can be found in the Setting up an Android Maps V2 Project article.

You'll need to paste the API key into your application manifest on the following line:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"/>

Library issues

If you attempt to run an Android sample app with your own copy of ActionBarSherlock, you might run into the following issue:

Found 2 versions of android-support-v4.jar in the dependency list,
but not all the versions are identical (check is based on SHA-1 only at this time).
All versions of the libraries must be the same at this time.
Versions found are:
Path: C:\PROJECTS\Android\GoogleMapsV2WithActionBarSherlock\libs\android-support-v4.jar
	Length: 484258
	SHA-1: bd6479f5dd592790607e0504e66e0f31c2b4d308
Path: C:\PROJECTS\Android\ActionBarSherlock-4.3.1-0\actionbarsherlock\libs\android-support-v4.jar
	Length: 271754
	SHA-1: 53307dc2bd2b69fd5533458ee11885f55807de4b
Jar mismatch! Fix your dependencies

The reason being that 2 different Android Support Library v4 JAR files are present in the projects getting built. (one provided by ActionBarSherlock and one provided by your project). The solution is simple : Ensure that ActionBarSherlock is using the same version of the Android Support Library v4 JAR as the one your project is using.

In the enclosed ActionBarSherlock in this github repository the support JAR has already been replace. : https://github.com/ddewaele/GoogleMapsV2WithActionBarSherlock/tree/master/actionbarsherlock/libs

Camera moved during cancellation

Hi. I am unable to find out how are you able to keep camera moving even when user zooms in or outs. According to Android docs

"If the animation stops due to interruption by a later camera movement or a user gesture, onCancel() will be called. The callback should not attempt to move or animate the camera in its cancellation method."

That means we can't use camera movement in onCancel(). So when a user touches the screen, the animation is stopped. Please provide a solution or hint to this.

(P.S. If we try to move camera in cancellation, it throws an exception saying "camera moved during cancellation". So our safe bet is to do nothing in onCancel(), but then the animation will stop)

add sample code for following SO marker question

How to import into Android Studio

I am new to Android Studio (AS) - so in AS I chose clone from Repository-> git, which downloaded the files.
Then it complaines about not beeing a Gradle-project - how can I convert this git to a gradle-project?
Otherwise, if I try to run I get an error:
org.junit not found
