Switching Solutions

Last updated 1 year ago

Was this helpful?

Some larger organisations may have not just multiple Venues, but also multiple Solutions in the MapsIndoors system. Therefore, it is naturally important to be able to switch between them.

At it's core, this is done simply by switching out the API key and reloading the system. However, there are a few more steps that can be done to ensure smooth transition between Solutions.

Starting a Solution

To initialize MapsIndoors, do the following:

Google Maps

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    mMapView = mapFragment.getView();
    MapsIndoors.load(getApplicationContext(), "YOUR_MAPSINDOORS_API_KEY", null);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
    ...
}
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mMap = googleMap;

   if (mMapView != null) {
       initMapControl(mMapView);
   }
}
void initMapControl(View view) {
    MPMapConfig mapConfig = new MPMapConfig.Builder(this, mMap, getString(R.string.google_maps_key), view, true).build();
    MapControl.create(mapConfig, (mapControl, miError) -> {
        mMapControl = mapControl;
        if (miError == null) {
            //Orient your map to where you need data to be shown. This could be done by getting the default venue through MapsIndoors and panning the camera there
        }
    });
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    ...
    MapsIndoors.load(applicationContext, "YOUR_MAPSINDOORS_API_KEY", null)

    mapFragment.view?.let {
        mapView = it
    }
    ...
}
override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap) {
    mMap = googleMap

    mapView?.let { view ->
        initMapControl(view)
    }
}
fun initMapControl(view: View) {
    MPMapConfig mapConfig = new MPMapConfig.Builder(this, mMap, getString(R.string.google_maps_key), view, true).build();
    //Creates a new instance of MapControl
    MapControl.create(config) { mapControl, miError ->
        if (miError == null) {
            mMapControl = mapControl!!
             //Orient your map to where you need data to be shown. This could be done by getting the default venue through MapsIndoors and panning the camera there
        }
    }
}

Mapbox

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    MapsIndoors.load(getApplicationContext(), "YOUR_MAPSINDOORS_API_KEY", null);
    ...
}
void initMapControl(View view) {
    MPMapConfig mapConfig = new MPMapConfig.Builder(this, mMapboxMap, mMapView, getString(R.string.mapbox_access_token),true).build();
    //Creates a new instance of MapControl
    MapControl.create(mapConfig, (mapControl, miError) -> {
        mMapControl = mapControl;
        if (miError == null) {
            //Orient your map to where you need data to be shown. This could be done by getting the default venue through MapsIndoors and panning the camera there
        }
    });
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    ...
    MapsIndoors.load(applicationContext, "YOUR_MAPSINDOORS_API_KEY", null)
    ...
}
fun initMapControl(view: View) {
    val config = MPMapConfig.Builder(this, mMap, mapView, getString(R.string.mapbox_access_token),true).build()
    //Creates a new instance of MapControl
    MapControl.create(config) { mapControl, miError ->
        if (miError == null) {
            //Orient your map to where you need data to be shown. This could be done by getting the default venue through MapsIndoors and panning the camera there
        }
    }
}

You switch Solutions by changing the active API key using setAPIKey().

We recommend creating your own function to call in the future for this purpose, like the example here with switchSolution():

Google maps

protected void switchSolution() {
    mMapControl.onDestroy();
    MapsIndoors.load(getApplication(), "YOUR_SECONDARY_API_KEY", null);
    mMapView.getMapAsync(this);
}
private fun switchSolution() {
    mMapControl.onDestroy()
    MapsIndoors.load(applicationContext, "YOUR_SECONDARY_API_KEY", null)
    mMapView.getMapAsync(this)
}

Mapbox

mMapControl.onDestroy();
MapsIndoors.load(getApplicationContext(), "YOUR_SECONDARY_API_KEY", null);
initMapControl(mMapBoxMap, mMapView);
mMapControl.onDestroy()
MapsIndoors.load(applicationContext, "YOUR_SECONDARY_API_KEY", null)
initMapControl(mMapBoxMap, mMapView)
