WEBVTT 00:00.120 --> 00:02.640 Hello developers, and welcome back. 00:02.920 --> 00:06.880 In this course we're going to learn about Google Maps. 00:07.120 --> 00:11.160 This is a very interesting thing in Android applications. 00:11.320 --> 00:18.400 This course teaches you how to integrate and customize Google Maps in Android applications. 00:18.400 --> 00:25.880 You'll learn how to display maps, add markers, handle user interactions, implement location tracking, 00:25.880 --> 00:27.720 and optimize performance. 00:27.880 --> 00:37.120 By the end of this course, you'll be able to build dynamic map based applications with modern Android 00:37.120 --> 00:38.960 development practices. 00:38.960 --> 00:48.200 Imagine building apps that show real time directions, track deliveries, or help users explore the 00:48.200 --> 00:52.320 world, all with just a few lines of code. 00:52.360 --> 00:55.480 How with Google Maps in Android. 00:55.640 --> 01:02.720 Welcome to the first video in our Google Maps with Jetpack Compose course. 01:02.760 --> 01:13.080 In today's video, we'll uncover why Google Maps is a game changer for Android developers and how you 01:13.080 --> 01:14.520 can master it. 01:14.560 --> 01:25.440 Google maps is more than just an app, it's a powerful SDK that lets you embed interactive maps, location 01:25.440 --> 01:31.440 tracking, and geospatial features into your own Android apps. 01:31.480 --> 01:39.480 Whether you are building a ride hailing service, a travel guide, or a fitness tracker, Google Maps 01:39.480 --> 01:43.200 provides the tools to make it happen. 01:43.240 --> 01:51.920 Google maps allow developers to integrate interactive maps into their Android applications using the 01:51.960 --> 01:54.720 Google Maps SDK for Android. 01:54.760 --> 02:03.880 This SDK provides tools for displaying maps, adding markers, handling gestures and drawing routes, 02:04.000 --> 02:06.760 polygons, and other overlays. 02:06.800 --> 02:12.160 Google maps provides interactive maps with zoom, pan and tilt. 02:12.320 --> 02:19.640 This is called the interactive maps zoom, pan, pan and 3D tilting markers. 02:19.640 --> 02:21.680 Polylines shapes. 02:21.680 --> 02:30.160 For location based applications, this is markers and shapes, location tracking and geocoding, changing 02:30.160 --> 02:37.920 from address to coordinates and vice versa, and GPS tracking and geocoding and street view directions, 02:37.920 --> 02:41.760 API and places API routes and navigation. 02:41.880 --> 02:50.160 In this course, you're going to start from scratch and gradually unlock the full potential of Google 02:50.160 --> 02:50.880 Maps. 02:50.920 --> 02:54.720 We're going to display and customize maps in compose. 02:54.750 --> 02:59.030 adding markers, polylines and user interactions. 02:59.150 --> 03:02.750 Fetching live location and geocoding addresses. 03:02.950 --> 03:07.830 And advanced features like clustering, offline maps and the places API. 03:08.030 --> 03:13.190 So there are a lot of things you can get from Google. 03:13.190 --> 03:22.950 So Google Maps provides a suite of APIs, application programming interfaces that let you embed, display 03:22.950 --> 03:29.430 and interact with maps and location data in your Android app or web back end systems. 03:29.710 --> 03:33.350 These APIs are part of the Google Maps platform. 03:33.390 --> 03:42.870 We have the maps SDK, which is the maps API used to display maps and lets interact with the map. 03:42.870 --> 03:50.190 So the Google Maps SDK for Android embeds interactive maps in Android applications. 03:50.230 --> 03:59.710 Customize with markers Polylines overlays, supports, gestures, camera movement and styling. 03:59.750 --> 04:03.190 Returning a static, non-interactive image of a map. 04:03.230 --> 04:05.550 Good for thumbnail printables. 04:05.590 --> 04:09.310 This is the maps static API and Map Tiles API. 04:09.350 --> 04:10.110 Advanced use. 04:10.150 --> 04:13.070 Access base map tiles directly. 04:13.110 --> 04:22.590 The second API is the places API provides details about geographical locations, including search and 04:22.590 --> 04:23.750 autocomplete. 04:23.750 --> 04:25.670 Search for places. 04:25.670 --> 04:28.670 For example restaurants or stores. 04:28.710 --> 04:36.550 Place autocomplete for search suggestions, retrieve place details, name, address coordinates and 04:36.550 --> 04:40.430 get place photos and the geocoding API. 04:40.750 --> 04:49.830 Convert addresses latitude to longitude and latitude, longitude to addresses and addresses to latitude 04:49.830 --> 04:51.670 longitude and vice versa. 04:51.710 --> 04:56.830 Also, we can get the device location using Wi-Fi and cell data without GPS. 04:57.070 --> 05:02.230 The directions API get directions between locations. 05:02.230 --> 05:05.390 Supports multiple travel modes. 05:05.390 --> 05:06.150 Driving. 05:06.150 --> 05:07.910 Walking, cycling. 05:08.310 --> 05:13.710 Transit includes turn by turn steps, duration and distance. 05:13.750 --> 05:18.830 Get travel time and distance between multiple origins and destinations. 05:18.990 --> 05:24.390 Good for comparing routes or ETA calculations. 05:24.590 --> 05:32.190 The time the expected time to arrive replaces directions API in newer versions with more features like 05:32.230 --> 05:37.070 traffic aware routing, toll costs, and route modifiers. 05:37.350 --> 05:43.030 Okay, there are a lot of things we can do in in Google Maps. 05:43.310 --> 05:45.550 It's a very interesting thing. 05:45.750 --> 05:53.950 So I for this purpose I made this course and make this those sections because this are very important 05:53.950 --> 05:54.750 things. 05:54.750 --> 06:01.790 So in order to display a map in Android, we use map SDK for Android, show current location maps SDK 06:01.790 --> 06:10.030 plus location services, add search autocomplete for places SDK for Android, convert addresses to coordinates. 06:10.030 --> 06:11.830 We use geocoding API. 06:12.070 --> 06:14.310 Get directions between two points. 06:14.430 --> 06:16.110 We use directions API. 06:16.310 --> 06:19.030 Calculate distance between many points. 06:19.070 --> 06:20.710 Distance matrix API. 06:21.310 --> 06:26.670 Find elevation of a trail elevation API and the other APIs. 06:26.710 --> 06:35.790 Okay, we are interesting in building and get get the most of services, the most of Google Maps services 06:35.790 --> 06:44.430 in order to make our application looks more professional and learn how to use those services regarding 06:44.430 --> 06:53.780 the authentication and billing all APIs require a Google Cloud project with billing enabled, you'll 06:53.780 --> 07:00.460 need to generate an API key and restrict it properly by app or referrer. 07:00.500 --> 07:06.500 Some APIs are free up to a quota then billed per use. 07:06.540 --> 07:09.380 Okay, these are very important notes. 07:09.420 --> 07:14.460 We will start by adding and creating Google accounts and add the credit card. 07:14.460 --> 07:16.980 But don't worry, you will not be billed. 07:16.980 --> 07:21.980 You will not pay anything until you reach a specific quota. 07:22.020 --> 07:24.660 Okay, so please pay attention. 07:24.660 --> 07:30.420 Some APIs are free up to a quota then billed per use. 07:30.660 --> 07:35.860 Okay, this is our, uh, introduction to Google Maps course. 07:35.860 --> 07:38.740 And let's start navigation. 07:38.740 --> 07:46.220 Let's start navigating between codes and between streets in Google Maps course.
