Android Maps Point Clustering

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7447350

Question

Is there any code for Point Clustering in android? How can i load thousand pinpoint without having performance issues?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Last night i got into PointClustering on Android MapView. Saw that there was nothing out for the community so i would like to share.

Groups the geopoints if the projection of them in the mapView is too close. Also renders only the visible poins.

UPDATE

Code reworked from scrach.

Now available at GitHub

  1. Code Reworked from scratch
  2. Used GVM clustering algorithm (pretty fast but doesn't position clustered point as good as mine)
  3. Soon to add previous clustering algorithm too

OTHER TIPS

I have reworked in the above code and controlled the no of overlay icon in the map view and separated the group and single point.

My Code:

MMapView.java

import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable;

import com.google.android.maps.MapView;
import com.google.android.maps.Overlay;

There is a pull request on github for the Polaris library (https://github.com/cyrilmottier/Polaris) which adds clustering:

https://github.com/cyrilmottier/Polaris/pull/20

https://github.com/damianflannery/Polaris/tree/clustering

Google's Android Map Utils has a solution for this: Google Maps Android Marker Clustering Utility.

Add dependency

implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.5'

Make your own ClusterItem

class MyItem(
        private val position: LatLng,
        val title: String,
        private val snippet: String
) : ClusterItem {
    override fun getPosition() = position
    override fun getTitle() = title
    override fun getSnippet() = snippet
}

Setting up the cluster manager and adding items

override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap) {
    val clusterManager = ClusterManager<MyItem>(this, googleMap)
    googleMap.setOnCameraIdleListener(clusterManager)

    clusterManager.addItem(MyItem(LatLng(51.51, -0.12), "title", "snippet"))
}

That's it! Items are now shown as follows:

screenshot Marker Clustering Utility in action

Customizing the icon

In order to customize the icon, add val icon: BitmapDescriptor to your ClusterItem and change the renderer of the cluster manager:

    clusterManager.renderer = object : DefaultClusterRenderer<MyItem>(this, googleMap, clusterManager) {
        override fun onBeforeClusterItemRendered(item: MyItem, markerOptions: MarkerOptions) {
            markerOptions.icon(item.icon)
        }
    }

Making items clickable

As a rule of thumb, any interaction with markers should go through the cluster manager instead. The same applies to making items clickable.

    googleMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(clusterManager)
    clusterManager.setOnClusterItemClickListener {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Clicked on item ${it.title}", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        true
    }

Similarly, you can call googleMap.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(clusterManager) and clusterManager.setOnClusterItemInfoWindowClickListener to handle clicks on the info window.

There also this answer which only requires you override the draw method of your Overlay. It divides your mapView into sections, so it's a bit less sophisticated. But at least it worked.

FOR ANDROID V2 HERE GOES CLUSTERING CODE

Hi All

I looked at various libraries and found them so complexx could'nt understand a word so i decided to make my own clutering algo Here goes my code in java

static int OFFSET = 268435456;
static double RADIUS = 85445659.4471;
static double pi = 3.1444;

public static double lonToX(double lon) {
        return Math.round(OFFSET + RADIUS * lon * pi / 180);
    }

    public static double latToY(double lat) {
        return Math.round(OFFSET
                - RADIUS
                * Math.log((1 + Math.sin(lat * pi / 180))
                        / (1 - Math.sin(lat * pi / 180))) / 2);
    }

    public static int pixelDistance(double lat1, double lon1, double lat2,
            double lon2, int zoom) {
        double x1 = lonToX(lon1);
        double y1 = latToY(lat1);

        double x2 = lonToX(lon2);
        double y2 = latToY(lat2);

        return (int) (Math
                .sqrt(Math.pow((x1 - x2), 2) + Math.pow((y1 - y2), 2))) >> (21 - zoom);
    }

    static ArrayList<Cluster> cluster(ArrayList<Marker> markers, int zoom) {

        ArrayList<Cluster> clusterList = new ArrayList<Cluster>();

        ArrayList<Marker> originalListCopy = new ArrayList<Marker>();

        for (Marker marker : markers) {
            originalListCopy.add(marker);
        }

        /* Loop until all markers have been compared. */
        for (int i = 0; i < originalListCopy.size();) {

            /* Compare against all markers which are left. */

            ArrayList<Marker> markerList = new ArrayList<Marker>();
            for (int j = i + 1; j < markers.size();) {
                int pixelDistance = pixelDistance(markers.get(i).getLatitude(),
                        markers.get(i).getLongitude(), markers.get(j)
                                .getLatitude(), markers.get(j).getLongitude(),
                        zoom);

                if (pixelDistance < 40) {

                    markerList.add(markers.get(i));
                    markerList.add(markers.get(j));

                    markers.remove(j);

                    originalListCopy.remove(j);
                    j = i + 1;
                } else {
                    j++;
                }

            }

            if (markerList.size() > 0) {
                Cluster cluster = new Cluster(clusterList.size(), markerList,
                        markerList.size() + 1, originalListCopy.get(i)
                                .getLatitude(), originalListCopy.get(i)
                                .getLongitude());
                clusterList.add(cluster);
                originalListCopy.remove(i);
                markers.remove(i);
                i = 0;

            } else {
                i++;
            }

            /* If a marker has been added to cluster, add also the one */
            /* we were comparing to and remove the original from array. */

        }
        return clusterList;
    }

Just pass in your array list here containing latitude and longitude then to display clusters here goes the function

@Override
    public void onTaskCompleted(ArrayList<FlatDetails> flatDetailsList) {

        LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();

        originalListCopy = new ArrayList<FlatDetails>();
        ArrayList<Marker> markersList = new ArrayList<Marker>();
        for (FlatDetails detailList : flatDetailsList) {

            markersList.add(new Marker(detailList.getLatitude(), detailList
                    .getLongitude(), detailList.getApartmentTypeString()));

            originalListCopy.add(detailList);

            builder.include(new LatLng(detailList.getLatitude(), detailList
                    .getLongitude()));

        }

        LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
        int padding = 0; // offset from edges of the map in pixels
        CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, padding);

        googleMap.moveCamera(cu);

        ArrayList<Cluster> clusterList = Utils.cluster(markersList,
                (int) googleMap.getCameraPosition().zoom);
