Wow, its almost nostalgic watching a video from you mitch, welcome back

[도둘리-ik]

It's the ultimate guide of google map sdk for compose. Without this guide, one would get frustrated.
Thank you so much!

Can these clusters behave like geofences, on events like entering, dwelling and exiting?

[Relaxwithpeter]

Hello, how can i draw those clusters or muitlpolygone in android osm android library

[dennismozart]

Whats vars dy, dx, yT, yB, xR and xL from `calculateCameraViewPoints` ? (Like What the D, T, B, R and L stands for on those variable naming conventions? ) Trying to understand the center logic.

Hey there Android devs,
I do not see map on my screen, can I get a quick response in this regard?

@Mitch: Is there is any way to create project KMP using jetpack library rather than jetpack compose. There is no setting while creating project of KMP. It is by default creating project using jetpack compose library. There should be a option to do so while creating project of KMP .

can we add 3d markers on to the map(from google maps sdk) ..if so can you make a video about it

[julianborrego]

Why do they suggest putting the api key in the local gradle file? Wouldnt this require every dev working on the project to manually add the key?

[marcopierucci]

Great video! But do you have one explaining you initial integration with maps and compose ( Before map compose was released) . I have to integrate a map sdk with similar aspects to maps and it does not have a composable equivalent

[shehabeldinadel]

Do I have to add my credit card details? Isn't there any other alternatives?

[EscapeePrisoner]

I'm so sorry for correcting you here. You keep saying "lat lang". But it's actually lat long. As in Lattitude and Longitude. Those being the names of the navigation variables in use for centuries. May I recommend orienteering as a great way to learn about maps and navigation. No doubt there is a club near you. <3

Hey mitch, can you please guide us how to get Android development internships as beginner at big tech companies, thank you

I Hate it the google job in Android Studio! I'm learning and just make a inferno in my life!

[yonxu]

Hi, thanks for the video. I have learnt a lot. I have a question. Could you advise how to get a snapshot (image) of a location?
I tried to do something like this but for some reason the image is not showing.
```
val mapBitmap: MutableState<Bitmap?> = remember { mutableStateOf(null) }
...
if (mapBitmap.value != null) {
Image(
bitmap = mapBitmap.value!!.asImageBitmap(),
contentDescription = "Map snapshot",
)
}
...
// get snapshot bitmap
GoogleMap {
MapEffect { map ->
map.snapshot { snapshot ->
// Got snapshot here
mapBitmap.value = it
}
}
}
...
```
Any ideas?

is there a way to use maps with android studio without having to pay for it? I want to use it for a university project. If not do you know any free alternatives? Thanks :)

[kemosabi]

Nice to see you again Mitch :) Seems like you gain weight
