9 Android List and Maps

ANDROID LIST,
LOCATION AND MAPS

ANDROID LISTS
Unlike sets, lists typically allow duplicate
elements. More formally, lists typically allow pairs
of elements e1 and e2 such that e1.equals(e2), and
they typically allow multiple null elements if they
allow null elements at all. It is not inconceivable
that someone might wish to implement a list that
prohibits duplicates, by throwing runtime
exceptions when the user attempts to insert them,
but we expect this usage to be rare.
TYPES OF ANDROID LISTS
• ListView: This is one of the oldest list views in Android.

It's a vertically scrolling list that can display a large
number of items. It's straightforward to use, but it's not
very flexible.
• RecyclerView: This is the successor to the ListView. It's
more flexible and powerful than the ListView and allows
you to implement complex layouts and animations. It's
recommended to use RecyclerView for new projects.
• GridView: This is a two-dimensional scrolling
list that displays items in a grid. It's useful for
displaying images or other items that need to be
organized in a grid.
• Spinner: This is a dropdown list that allows the

user to select one item from a list of options. It's
commonly used in forms or settings screens.
• Expandable ListView: This is a ListView that
can display a list of groups and their child items.
It's useful for displaying hierarchical data, such
as a list of categories and their subcategories.
• RecyclerView with GridLayout: This is
similar to the GridView, but it uses the
RecyclerView to display a grid of items. It's
more flexible than the GridView and allows you
to implement complex layouts and animations.

ANDROID LOCATION AND MAPS
• Android Location and Maps refer to the set of features and tools provided by the
Android operating system for developers to create location-aware applications.
Android provides various classes and interfaces to access the device's GPS, network
location, and other sensors to determine the device's location.
• The Android Maps API allows developers to integrate Google Maps into their
applications, display maps, and use the Maps API to display various features such as
markers, polylines, and polygons on the map. With the Maps API, developers can add
location-based features such as search, routing, and location tracking to their apps.
• Overall, Android Location and Maps provide a powerful set of tools for developers to
create location-based applications, and they are widely used in many types of apps,
including navigation, weather, fitness, and social media.
ANDROID GOOGLE MAPS
• Android Google Maps is a service provided by Google that allows developers to
integrate maps and location-based services into their Android applications. With the
Google Maps API for Android, developers can add a variety of features to their apps,
such as displaying maps, adding markers and overlays, providing directions, and
displaying user location.
USING GPS TO FIND CURRENT LOCATION IN
ANDROID
• Using GPS to find the current location in an Android app refers to the process of
accessing the GPS (Global Positioning System) module of an Android device to
determine the device's current latitude and longitude coordinates. The GPS module
uses signals from GPS satellites to determine the device's location accurately.
ANDROID
• To use GPS to find the current location in an Android app, you need to request the
user's location permission, create a LocationManager object, and request location
updates. Then, you can implement a LocationListener to receive updates and get the
current location in the onLocationChanged() method of the listener.
ANDROID
• You can use the latitude and longitude coordinates of
the current location to perform various location-based
actions in your app, such as displaying the user's
location on a map, providing directions, or searching
for nearby places.
