Android project setup

Keys

To use any of the Phunware MaaS SDKs you'll need to add the following entries to your AndroidManifest.xml, making sure to replace the value properties with your actual App ID and Access Key:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.phunware.maas.APPLICATION_ID"
    android:value="YOUR_APP_ID"/>

<meta-data
    android:name="com.phunware.maas.ACCESS_KEY"
    android:value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"/>
Permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<!-- Optional: Cache floor map tiles to external cache if internal cache is unavailable -->
<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
    android:maxSdkVersion="28" />

Usage

Creating the Map Manager

The entry point of communication with the Mapping SDK is through the Phunware Map Manager. Here's how you can obtain an instance of the Map Manager:

mapManager = PhunwareMapManager.create(this)

We strongly recommend that you hold your Map Manager instance in your Application class, so that it can survive configuration changes like orientation changes.

Adding the Map Fragment

To integrate the Phunware Map in your app, add the map fragment in your desired screen's XML file:

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:name="com.phunware.mapping.SupportMapFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Get the map fragment instance in your host Activity or Fragment by calling:

val mapFragment = supportFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map) as SupportMapFragment

Loading the Map Fragment

Load the map on the fragment by calling getPhunwareMapAsync(). You'll need to provide an implementation of OnPhunwareMapReadyCallback as a parameter:

mapFragment.getPhunwareMapAsync(callback: OnPhunwareMapReadyCallback)

Your OnPhunwareMapReadyCallback implementation will require you to override onPhunwareMapReady(). When this method is called, it means your map instance is ready for use.

override fun onPhunwareMapReady(phunwareMap: PhunwareMap) {
}

Linking the Map with the Map Manager

In order to perform operations on the map through the Map Manager, like adding a building, we need to link the Map Manager with the Map we just loaded. You should do so inside your onPhunwareMapReady():

override fun onPhunwareMapReady(phunwareMap: PhunwareMap) {
    mapManager.setPhunwareMap(phunwareMap)
}

Adding a Building

Now that the Map Manager has a Map instance that's visible on your screen, you can add your building. You should do so inside the same callback. For example:

override fun onPhunwareMapReady(phunwareMap: PhunwareMap) {
    mapManager.setPhunwareMap(phunwareMap)
    mapManager.addBuilding(buildingId.toLong(), object : Callback<Building> {
        override fun onSuccess(building: Building) {
            // Handle loaded Building.
        }

        override fun onFailure(throwable: Throwable) {
            // Handle failure.
        }
    })
}

Enabling real time location on the Map

In order to see your location on the map, you need to integrate with Phunware's Location SDK. To enable your location, simply create a PwManagedLocationProvider and pass it to the Map Manager along with the building you just added to the map. Then, enable location on the Map Manager by setting mapManager.isMyLocationEnabled to true:

mapManager.addBuilding(buildingId.toLong(), object : Callback<Building> {
    override fun onSuccess(building: Building) {
        val provider = PwManagedLocationProvider(application, building.id, null)
        mapManager.setLocationProvider(managedProvider, building)
        mapManager.isMyLocationEnabled = true
    }

    override fun onFailure(throwable: Throwable) {
        // Handle failure.
    }
})

You're all set to see your building on the map with your real time location!
