Is there a way to implement rounded corners to a Mapfragment?

Question

I want to give the map a nice looking rounded corners as the two boxes below it have. I can\'t do it with the map fragment it self because there is not a background property

Answer 1

If you are only trying to target API 21 (Lollipop) and higher

This is the easiest way possible.

parentView.setClipToOutline(true);

Wrap the map fragment in this layout:

package com.example.yourpackage;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.RectF;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;

/**
 * Just extend any Layout you like/need
 */
public class RoundedLayout extends RelativeLayout {

private Path mPathCorners = new Path();
private Path mPathCircle = new Path();
private float mCornerRadius;

/**
 * border path
 */
private Path mPathCornersBorder = new Path();
private Path mPathCircleBorder = new Path();
private int mBorderWidth = 0;
private int mBorderHalf;
private boolean mShowBorder = false;
private int mBorderColor = 0xFFFF7700;

private float mDensity = 1.0f;

/**
 * Rounded corners or circle shape
 */
private boolean mIsCircleShape = false;

private Paint mPaint = new Paint();

private float dpFromPx(final float px) {
    return px / mDensity;
}

private float pxFromDp(final float dp) {
    return dp * mDensity;
}

public RoundedLayout(Context context) {
    this(context, null);
}

public RoundedLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    this(context, attrs, 0);
}

public RoundedLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    mDensity = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
    // just a default for corner radius
    mCornerRadius = pxFromDp(25f);

    mPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
    mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    mPaint.setColor(mBorderColor);
    setBorderWidth(Math.round(pxFromDp(2f)));
}

/**
 * Switch to circle or rectangle shape
 *
 * @param useCircle
 */
public void setShapeCircle(boolean useCircle) {
    mIsCircleShape = useCircle;
    invalidate();
}

/**
 * change corner radius
 *
 * @param radius
 */
public void setCornerRadius(int radius) {
    mCornerRadius = radius;
    invalidate();
}

public void showBorder(boolean show) {
    mShowBorder = show;
    invalidate();
}

public void setBorderWidth(int width) {
    mBorderWidth = width;
    mBorderHalf = Math.round(mBorderWidth / 2);
    if (mBorderHalf == 0) {
        mBorderHalf = 1;
    }

    mPaint.setStrokeWidth(mBorderWidth);
    updateCircleBorder();
    updateRectangleBorder();
    invalidate();
}

public void setBorderColor(int color) {
    mBorderColor = color;
    mPaint.setColor(color);
    invalidate();
}

// helper reusable vars, just IGNORE
private float halfWidth, halfHeight, centerX, centerY;
private RectF rect = new RectF(0, 0, 0, 0);
private RectF rectBorder = new RectF(0, 0, 0, 0);

@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
    super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);

    // just calculate both shapes, is not heavy

    // rounded corners path
    rect.left = 0;
    rect.top = 0;
    rect.right = w;
    rect.bottom = h;
    mPathCorners.reset();
    mPathCorners.addRoundRect(rect, mCornerRadius, mCornerRadius, Path.Direction.CW);
    mPathCorners.close();

    // circle path
    halfWidth = w / 2f;
    halfHeight = h / 2f;
    centerX = halfWidth;
    centerY = halfHeight;
    mPathCircle.reset();
    mPathCircle.addCircle(centerX, centerY, Math.min(halfWidth, halfHeight), Path.Direction.CW);
    mPathCircle.close();

    updateRectangleBorder();
    updateCircleBorder();
}

// helper reusable var, just IGNORE
private int save;

@Override
protected void dispatchDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    save = canvas.save();
    canvas.clipPath(mIsCircleShape ? mPathCircle : mPathCorners);
    super.dispatchDraw(canvas);
    canvas.restoreToCount(save);

    if (mShowBorder) {
        canvas.drawPath(mIsCircleShape ? mPathCircleBorder : mPathCornersBorder, mPaint);
    }
}

private void updateCircleBorder() {
    // border path for circle
    mPathCircleBorder.reset();
    mPathCircleBorder.addCircle(centerX, centerY, Math.min(halfWidth - mBorderHalf,
            halfHeight - mBorderHalf), Path.Direction.CW);
    mPathCircleBorder.close();
}

private void updateRectangleBorder() {
    // border path for rectangle
    rectBorder.left = rect.left + mBorderHalf;
    rectBorder.top = rect.top + mBorderHalf;
    rectBorder.right = rect.right - mBorderHalf;
    rectBorder.bottom = rect.bottom - mBorderHalf;
    mPathCornersBorder.reset();
    mPathCornersBorder.addRoundRect(rectBorder, mCornerRadius - mBorderHalf, mCornerRadius -
            mBorderHalf, Path.Direction.CW);
    mPathCornersBorder.close();
}
}

In layout will be like this:

<com.example.yourpackage.RoundedLayout
    android:id="@+id/maplayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:layout_margin="20dp">

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        tools:context="com.example.yourpackage.MapsMarkerActivity"/>
</com.example.yourpackage.RoundedLayout>

In code can be like this for a round shape with border:

    RoundedLayout rl = (RoundedLayout) findViewById(R.id.maplayout);
    rl.setShapeCircle(true);
    rl.showBorder(true);
    rl.setBorderWidth(2);

This layout can be used to shape any view.

It's incredible how google is incapable of making competent (usable) complete demos for it's android API.

For other people looking into this, I just tackled this using GoogleMap.snapshot and manipulating the bitmap result with this stack over flow answer: How to make an ImageView with rounded corners?

Mind you this is only valid if you are going to have a static map that is not going to be interacted with.

Make sure you take the snap shot after the map is loaded.

I updated the image view helper code to draw with path to support rounding only some corners. ie. If you want to round only 2 of the corners.

You just need the path round rect function that takes a float[]

I show a progress bar until I get a callback from GoogleMap loaded listener than I take the snapshot.

If you take your snapshot too early you will get can't create bitmap with 0 width and height error.

Hope this helps someone looking for rounded corners or other weird shape in static map snapshot.

Answer 4

Following @Nouman_Hanif post I ended up with a solution that looks quite good.

map_rounded_corner_overlay.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <stroke android:width="1dp"
          android:color="@color/white" />
  <corners android:radius="<your_desired_view_corner_radius>"/>
</shape>

My map xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent">
  <fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    android:layout_margin="1dp"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
  <ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/map_rounded_corner_overlay" />
</RelativeLayout>

I know it's an old post, but you can try using Cards like so:

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:layout_width="300dp"
    android:layout_height="350dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
    app:cardCornerRadius="12dp"
    app:cardElevation="12dp">

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

Answer 6

The easiest way is to wrap the map fragment inside a FrameLayout along with an ImageView. The Imageview would display a rounded rectangle on top of the map fragment. In its simplest form you will see the map fragment inside the rounded rectangle with its corners sticking out of the rounded rectangle because the map view itself is not rounded. To overcome this visual oddity simply apply a layout_margin value on map fragment. The value should be equal to the rectangle's border width.

   <FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/map_container"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="340dp" >

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_margin="3dp"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:src="@drawable/map_bg_box" />

</FrameLayout>

The rectangle drawable is defined as an xml shape as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <stroke android:width="3dp"
    android:color="#ff000000" />

    <corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp" android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
    android:topLeftRadius="7dp" android:topRightRadius="7dp"/>

</shape>

Notice the stroke width of the rectangle is 3dp that is exactly the same value we applied to the layout_margin property of the map fragment. The result is a nicely round cornered map fragment as shown in the screenshot below
