Rotate Marker and Move Animation on Map like Uber Android

Solution 1:

I recently came across the same use-case. Here is my solution on it.

First, I would like to thank @VipiN for sharing "The Smooth Moving Car Code". It works smoothly.

The second part is to place car-marker in the right direction and rotate it according to turns. To achieve this I calculated the bearing or heading angle between two successive points(i.e. location updates you receive from device/server). This link will help you understand the maths behind it.

The following code will give you bearing between two locations:

private double bearingBetweenLocations(LatLng latLng1,LatLng latLng2) {

    double PI = 3.14159;
    double lat1 = latLng1.latitude * PI / 180;
    double long1 = latLng1.longitude * PI / 180;
    double lat2 = latLng2.latitude * PI / 180;
    double long2 = latLng2.longitude * PI / 180;

    double dLon = (long2 - long1);

    double y = Math.sin(dLon) * Math.cos(lat2);
    double x = Math.cos(lat1) * Math.sin(lat2) - Math.sin(lat1)
            * Math.cos(lat2) * Math.cos(dLon);

    double brng = Math.atan2(y, x);

    brng = Math.toDegrees(brng);
    brng = (brng + 360) % 360;

    return brng;
}

Finally, we need to rotate the car-marker by the angle that we get from above method.

private void rotateMarker(final Marker marker, final float toRotation) {
    if(!isMarkerRotating) {
        final Handler handler = new Handler();
        final long start = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
        final float startRotation = marker.getRotation();
        final long duration = 1000;

        final Interpolator interpolator = new LinearInterpolator();

        handler.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                isMarkerRotating = true;

                long elapsed = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - start;
                float t = interpolator.getInterpolation((float) elapsed / duration);

                float rot = t * toRotation + (1 - t) * startRotation;

                marker.setRotation(-rot > 180 ? rot / 2 : rot);
                if (t < 1.0) {
                    // Post again 16ms later.
                    handler.postDelayed(this, 16);
                } else {
                    isMarkerRotating = false;
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

Cheers!

Solution 2:

Here is my code to move marker like uber. i have shown two ways to move marker .

Important Note: To move car on proper road [like ola,uber] you need to use road api provided by google

1.By static latitude and longitude

2.By Real time Latitude and longitude
