"GoogleMapsAnimations" is an awesome first of its type android library for showing a ripple and radar animations on a google map, e.g show catchment area of an earthquake where ripples have been felt, give prominence to certain markers which need to be highlighted. Also add a ripple when your user is moving on the map and give a #PokemonGo type ripple effect and also add a radar type effect to show users that you are searching in certain area
Below samples show the ripple effect in action:

##Ripple Animation
###Default Ripple animation
Just two lines of code :
Use .startRippleMapAnimation() and .stopRippleMapAnimation() methods to start and stop Animation.
Example is given below (Preview shown above in first sample)
// mMap is GoogleMap object, latLng is the location on map from which ripple should start
MapRipple mapRipple = new MapRipple(mMap, latLng, context);
mapRipple.startRippleMapAnimation(); //in onMapReadyCallBack
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (mapRipple.isAnimationRunning()) {
mapRipple.stopRippleMapAnimation();
}
}
// Start Animation again only if it is not running
if (!mapRipple.isAnimationRunning()) {
mapRipple.startRippleMapAnimation();
}
###Advanced Ripple animation
Example is given below (Preview shown above in second sample)
// mMap is GoogleMap object, latLng is the location on map from which ripple should start
mapRipple = new MapRipple(mMap, latLng, context);
mapRipple.withNumberOfRipples(3);
mapRipple.withFillColor(Color.BLUE);
mapRipple.withStrokeColor(Color.BLACK);
mapRipple.withStrokewidth(10); // 10dp
mapRipple.withDistance(2000); // 2000 metres radius
mapRipple.withRippleDuration(12000); //12000ms
mapRipple.withTransparency(0.5f);
mapRipple.startRippleMapAnimation();
// Use same procedure to stop Animation and start it again as mentioned anove in Default Ripple Animation Sample
###Update center of ripple as location changes(Needed when user moves)
Just one line of code is needed:
Use .mapRipple.withLatLng(LatLng changedLatlng) method anytime in future to update center of ripple.
// after implementing **LocationListener** interface to current class use:
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
mapRipple.withLatLng(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()));
}
//See the sample for more help.
##Radar Animation
###Simple Clockwise Radar animation
Just two lines of code :
Use .startRadarAnimation() and .stopRadarAnimation() methods to start and stop Animation.
Example is given below (Preview shown above in third sample)
// mMap is GoogleMap object, latLng is the location on map from which ripple should start
MapRadar mapRadar = new MapRadar(mMap, latLng, context);
mapRadar.withDistance(2000);
mapRadar.withOuterCircleStrokeColor(Color.parseColor("#fccd29"));
mapRadar.withRadarColors(Color.parseColor("#00fccd29"), Color.parseColor("#fffccd29"));
//withRadarColors() have two parameters, startColor and tailColor respectively
//startColor should start with transparency, here 00 in front of fccd29 indicates fully transparent
//tailColor should end with opaqueness, here f in front of fccd29 indicates fully opaque
mapRadar.startRadarAnimation(); //in onMapReadyCallBack
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (mapRadar.isAnimationRunning()) {
mapRadar.stopRadarAnimation();
}
}
###Advanced Clockwise and AntiClockwise Radar animation
Example is given below (Preview shown above in fourth sample)
// mMap is GoogleMap object, latLng is the location on map from which ripple should start
MapRadar mapRadar = new MapRadar(mMap, latLng, context);
mapRadar.withDistance(2000);
mapRadar.withOuterCircleStrokeColor(Color.parseColor("#fccd29"));
mapRadar.withOuterCircleStrokewidth(7);
mapRadar.withOuterCircleTransparency(0.4f);
mapRadar.withClockWiseAnticlockwise(true); //enable both side rotation
mapRadar.withClockwiseAnticlockwiseDuration(2);
//withClockwiseAnticlockwiseDuration(duration), here duration denotes how much cycles should animation makes in
//one direction
mapRadar.withOuterCircleFillColor(Color.parseColor("#12000000"));
mapRadar.withRadarColors(Color.parseColor("#00fccd29"), Color.parseColor("#fffccd29"));
//withRadarColors() have two parameters, startColor and tailColor respectively
//startColor should start with transparency, here 00 in front of fccd29 indicates fully transparent
//tailColor should end with opaqueness, here f in front of fccd29 indicates fully opaque
mapRadar.withRadarSpeed(5); //controls radar speed
mapRadar.withRadarTransparency(0.4f);
mapRadar.startRadarAnimation(); //in onMapReadyCallBack
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (mapRadar.isAnimationRunning()) {
mapRadar.stopRadarAnimation();
}
}
###Update center of radar as location changes(Needed when user moves)
Just one line of code is needed:
Use .mapRadar.withLatLng(LatLng changedLatlng) method anytime in future to update center of radar.
// after implementing **LocationListener** interface to current class use:
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
mapRadar.withLatLng(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()));
}
//See the sample for more help.
