Welcome back.
Let's continue with dependencies.
And in this video we're going to add Google Maps Platform SDK to our application.
So Google Maps Platform is a set of APIs and SDKs for retrieving location based data from Google, and
embedding Google Maps imagery into mobile apps and web pages.
Go to GitHub.com Google Maps, or you can go to google.com and search for Android SDK.
From here you can go to the documentations, search for maps SDK for Android and you will be guided
to the SDK implementation, but I prefer using this.
Click repositories, search for compose and you'll get Android places.
Compose and Android maps, compose, select Android maps, dash compose, scroll down and here copy
this dependency.
Or if you are following me, I use the same implementation as in the previous videos, so you can directly
implement this okay.
And you can replace it with a new library declaration, but I prefer using this in order to prevent
any errors and misunderstand.
Okay.
This is the first library.
The second library we're going to add is implementation
com.google.android.com
means Google Maps services.
And we need to add place or play dash services location.
We need to get the location and display it for the current location of the user.
Okay.
So let me change it to 21 .3.0.
Also, you can replace it with a new library declaration, but I can use it like this.
This implementation is for Google Maps current location.
And okay, then we need another implementation.
If we remember we have clustering.
This is the library for clustering and this is for the scale bar I can include the scale bar for our
applications.
So let me copy this.
Widgets and utils.
Utils will be needed to decode and convert polylines string into lat long points.
So here implementation for compose widgets.
And let's add the utils okay.
Those libraries we talked about uh about them in the previous videos.
Also, we're gonna learn in this application how to use the location services and how to retrieve the
current position and work with the current location.
Okay.
But we worked a lot with the previous examples.
In the next videos, we're gonna add the places API from Google Maps.
So here I'll skip it now because when we need to implement it, I'm I will lecture about it and make
a quick recap about it and then implement it.
Okay.
So I'll skip the places API implementation for now.
So we are ready sync now.
