copied!<p>Keep in mind that it's not an ideal approach, because the text on the map is a static image and will rotate along with the map tiles (at some point it will be upside down).</p> <p>Here's an example of how to put the <code>MapView</code> into your own <code>Layout</code> widget and rotate it. I've done it with the OpenStreetMaps, but it should be quite the same for Google Maps.</p> <p>First create the "rotating" <code>Layout</code> widget</p> <pre><code>package com.eli.util; import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.util.DisplayMetrics; import android.widget.LinearLayout; public class RotatingLinearLayout extends LinearLayout { private final int mDiagonal; private float mBearing; public RotatingLinearLayout(final Context pContext, final AttributeSet pAttrs) { super(pContext, pAttrs); final DisplayMetrics dm = pContext.getResources().getDisplayMetrics(); mDiagonal = (int) Math.hypot(dm.widthPixels, dm.heightPixels); } public void setBearing(final float pBearing) { mBearing = pBearing; } @Override protected void dispatchDraw(final Canvas pCanvas) { pCanvas.rotate(-mBearing, getWidth() >> 1, getHeight() >> 1); super.dispatchDraw(pCanvas); } @Override protected void onMeasure(final int pWidthMeasureSpec, final int pHeightMeasureSpec) { final int widthMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(pWidthMeasureSpec); final int heightMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(pHeightMeasureSpec); super.onMeasure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(mDiagonal, widthMode), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(mDiagonal, heightMode)); } } </code></pre> <p>Surround by it your <code>MapView</code> in the <code>layout.xml</code></p> <pre><code><com.eli.util.RotatingLinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/rotating_layout"> <org.osmdroid.views.MapView android:id="@+id/map_view" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:enabled="true" android:clickable="true"/> </com.eli.util.RotatingLinearLayout> </code></pre> <p>Now, every time you receive a geo fix, update the bearing of the rotating layout and it should turn.</p>
