Draw Circle on GoogleMap

With Google Play services v3.0, now we can draw circle on Google Maps API V2. To use the new feature, you have to update Android SDK Platform-tools.

The code modify from the exercise of Draw Polygon on GoogleMap.

package com.example.androidmapsv2;

import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapLongClickListener;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.CircleOptions;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
 implements OnMapLongClickListener{
 
 final int RQS_GooglePlayServices = 1;
 private GoogleMap myMap;
 
 TextView tvLocInfo;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
  tvLocInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.locinfo);
  
  FragmentManager myFragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
  MapFragment myMapFragment 
   = (MapFragment)myFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
  myMap = myMapFragment.getMap();

  myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);

  myMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this);

 }
 
 @Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
  getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
  return true;
 }

 @Override
 public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
     case R.id.menu_legalnotices:
      String LicenseInfo = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getOpenSourceSoftwareLicenseInfo(
        getApplicationContext());
      AlertDialog.Builder LicenseDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
      LicenseDialog.setTitle("Legal Notices");
      LicenseDialog.setMessage(LicenseInfo);
      LicenseDialog.show();
         return true;
     }
  return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
 }

 @Override
 protected void onResume() {

  super.onResume();

  int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
  
  if (resultCode == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
     "isGooglePlayServicesAvailable SUCCESS", 
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  }else{
   GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(resultCode, this, RQS_GooglePlayServices);
  }
  
 }

 @Override
 public void onMapLongClick(LatLng point) {
  tvLocInfo.setText("New circle added@" + point.toString());
  
  CircleOptions circleOptions = new CircleOptions()
  .center(point)   //set center
  .radius(1000)   //set radius in meters
  .fillColor(Color.RED)
  .strokeColor(Color.BLACK)
  .strokeWidth(5);
  
  myMap.addCircle(circleOptions);
 }

}
