# Location Details

This is an example of displaying some details of a MapsIndoors location

Requirements for this tutorial will be to have a running fragment or activity with a MapsIndoors Map loaded and ready to use.

We need a view that shows the details of the location. Here we will use a TextView to display the name and description of a location:

```xml
<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/details_text_view"
    android:background="@color/cardview_light_background"
    android:visibility="gone"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    android:text="This is the text view for details of the location"/>
```

Once the map is ready move the camera to a Venue:

```kotlin
val venue = MapsIndoors.getVenues()!!.currentVenue
activity?.runOnUiThread {
    if (venue != null) {
        //Animates the camera to fit the new venue
        mMap!!.animateCamera(
            CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(
                toLatLngBounds(venue.bounds!!),
                19
            )
        )
    }
}
```

We will then create a listener for when a user clicks on a marker to show the details of the selected location. This is done by setting a `onLocationSelectedListener` on your `MapControl` object. We will also listen to when the info window closes, to remove the DetailsTextView from the view. This is done by setting the `onMarkerInfoWindowCloseListener` on `MapControl`.

When a marker is clicked, get the related MapsIndoors location object and propagate that to a method that fills the text in the `detailsTextView`.

```kotlin
mMapControl?.let { mapControl ->
    mapControl.setOnLocationSelectedListener {
        if (it != null) {
            showLocationDetails(it)
        }
        return@setOnLocationSelectedListener false
    }
    mapControl.setOnMarkerInfoWindowCloseListener {
        binding.detailsTextView.visibility = View.GONE
        mMapControl?.setMapPadding(0, 0, 0, 0)
    }
}
```

Create the `showLocationDetails(location: MPLocation)` method in your project.

```kotlin
private fun showLocationDetails(location: MPLocation) {
    binding.detailsTextView.text =  "Name: " + location.name + "\nDescription: " + location.description
    binding.detailsTextView.visibility = View.VISIBLE
    mMapControl?.setMapPadding(0, 0, 0, binding.detailsTextView.height)
}
```

A `TextView` will now appear when a user selects a location and it will disapear again when the user clicks away from the location.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mapsindoors.com/sdks-and-frameworks/android/displaying-objects/location-details.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
