I am working on an application where is want to show the user his heading location, like in Apple maps (magnetic direction) which is a small triangle and will rotate as the user moves physically using the app. I am using Google Maps SDK and would like to know if Google provides this option, i have researched a bit but dint get. Also, their official Google Map App doesn't have the feature.
Also i would like to know if there is any other better option for the same.
Simply add mapView.myLocationEnabled = YES; should works for your require.
Except you want this feature works well in China.

The problem
So, I am developing a react native application and I am facing the callenge of selecting multiple images from the user gallery. Just like apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter and even Reddit do. So with that in mind, i tried to use launchImageLibraryAsync from expo-image-picker but, as specified in their documentation, the "multiple selecion" of images is only supported on the web.
What I have thinked of
So, based on several searches, it seemed like i had to build my own "Gallery". To do this, so far i've tried to use #react-native-community/cameraroll and expo-media-library, but both of them requires that we pass the first property to the getPhotos (for #react-native-community/cameraroll) or to the getAssetsAsync (for expo-media-library) functions, which defines the first items to be fetched. This is a problem because I do not want to fetch like 20 items and then, when the user reaches the end of the list, it fetches more 20 items. I need something like this (this example is from Telegram). You can see that the app never stops me from scrolling, it goes all the way through my entire gallery.
What would also be nice
If you use reddit mobile, you can see that you can also select multiple photos using the several Apps like Google Photos, Files, Google Drive and so on.
This would be even nicer because I wouldn't need to implement a custom made Picker. Do you guys know how could I implement this?
OBS: I am using Expo with Bare Workflow, so I can use just about any package. I also opened a discussion at the Expo repo about it. You can check it here: https://github.com/expo/expo/discussions/15210.
Thank you in advance :)
I have been using this package called expo-images-picker check it out. It has similar function to what you need. It works in Mobile as well.

First of all I am new in Xamarin.Form. I am trying to get best from Google but some of functionality I am not able to get even searched a lot.
I am creating a Xamarin.Form app. In that app I want to provide a functionality of image filter. In that, the image captured by user or get from their internal memory should by filter.
I have tried to search on google to get some idea for it in Xamarin.Form but I still not get any link which can help me to get start.
First of all I don't know whether it is possible in Xamarin.Form or not. Can anybody suggest me a link or idea to achieve it?
I attached a Screenshot so you can easily understand the problem.

There are no out of the box APIs in Xamarin.Forms for Image filters.
Each platforms handles the images differently, you will need to implement these filters per platform bases.
You can find the instructions for iOS here and here for Android, then you can use the DependencyServices to access them in Forms app
I would like to use use Google Map in my MAC application.
I found the iOS SDK of Google Maps but not for OS X.
I want to show two annotation and a line connecting them on Google Map. Coordinate of both annotation are dynamic as per user selection.
Below is the way I find out that can work:
Call a API and pass the location coordinate for both annotation.
Now Server side a html form is generate using javascript and create a page which is showing the 2 annotation and line connecting them.
In Api Response I will get the URL of that html page.
I will show this page in UIWebView.
I want to know is there any other way I can achieve this.
I want to distribute application outside the mac app store and to distribute outside mac store I need to sign app with Developer ID which does not support the MAPs.
I didn't find anything related to this that's why I created this thread.
Thanks in advance.
I recently ported the Mapbox iOS SDK over to OS X. It has a lot of the features of MapKit, but it’s open source and should also work in a developer-signed application such as yours. To use the Mapbox OS X SDK, download the latest release from the GitHub repository (look for releases beginning with “osx-”) and follow the instructions in README.md. An API reference is included.
I want to show two annotation and a line connecting them on Google Map. Coordinate of both annotation are dynamic as per user selection.
To display the annotations on-screen, you’ll need the MGLPointAnnotation and MGLPolyline classes. You can move the point annotations dynamically by setting their coordinate properties. The polyline, however, is immutable; to change its path, remove the existing polyline and add a new one with the new coordinates.
You will have to make it with WebKit and the Google Maps API.
MapKit is available in OS X 10.9 Mavericks: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/MapKit/Reference/MapKit_Framework_Reference/index.html
There are of course many ways of hiding the fact that you're using WebKit but if they violate Apple's or Google's TOS then submission to the App Store won't be possible.
Hope this will be helpful!
I'm working with Gigya's Share Bar javascript api and am having an issue with google plus sharing. I have separate UserAction objects for facebook, twitter and google plus to display different text and linkbacks. I'm adding a media item (image) to the facebook and google plus actions to share that image along with the text. Facebook is sharing the correct image, however, google plus is displaying a different image. I have no idea where this image is coming from. Text and link are correct on both, but the image is frustratingly incorrect.
Has anyone encountered an issue like this? Is there something different that must be done for google plus shares?
Test your target URL with Google's structured data testing tool.
Read the snippet documentation to understand how the Google crawler determines what to use in the share preview.
Cheers,
for about a year now Google allows you to adjust the styling of their maps according to your needs. They offer a tool which allows for the easy creation of styles too:
Google Maps API Styled Maps Wizard
What I'd like to know is: can this feature of their API be used with MKMapView as provided in the Map Kit Framework? If so, how and at which point would I feed the JSON code which the wizard produces to the API?
If this doesn't work with MKMapView: What's the next best way to include Googles Styled Maps in an app?
Thanks alot!
As far as I'm aware, MKMapView doesn't provide this functionality "out of the box" as the Google Maps API does; the class reference, seems to support this hypothesis. You could re-implement some of the styles using annotations and overlays (see the class reference), but that assumes you have access to the point of interest data. Your success will likely depend on what styles you want to use.
As for the next best way, I opened your link, the styled maps wizard, on my iPad and it seems to work flawlessly. Perhaps you could host a pre-styled map somewhere online and simply show it in your app using a UIWebView? That would obviously limit you in some ways, but at least it would be styled!
