Rotation of the TileView

[corsc]

I attempted to add rotation support to the TileView by using View.rotate() using the something like this:

                    this.mDegree = (float) Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2((event.getY(0) - event.getY(1)),
                                    (event.getX(0) - event.getX(1)))) + rotation_angle;
                    this.mDeltaDegree = this.mDegree - this.mStartDegree;
                    this.mTileView.setRotation(this.mDeltaDegree);
                    this.mTileView.updateViewport();
                    this.mTileView.requestRender();

Unfortunately when i zoom in and the rotate 90 degrees i get the "letterbox" effect.

I have tried forcing the DetailLevel.getIntersections() to return more tiles and I have tried to fool various components into drawing more or expanding the viewport with no success.

Do you have any suggestions as to what I could try next?

Thanks

I appreciate what you're trying to do, and it'd be a very cool addition, but I think it'd require a massive rewrite to all the major components - I think you're taking on a very big job.

I'd probably start where you mentioned (intersections), which will likely require some crazy math - next would be "anti-rotating" markers and callouts, then figuring out touch events. I think the basic setRotation isn't going to be sufficient.

If you decide to move forward with it, let me know if I can help by pointing out or explaining how certain things work. That said, I think it's probably a lot to bite off

Thanks for your quick reply. I will take this to my client but given their timeline this kind of huge change is unlikely to get approved. Thanks for all your help
