Here maps JS API — disable panning while scrolling on mobile - here-api

I have a map on my web page. When i scroll a page on the mobile device with one finger i want to prevent a map from panning.
Basically, i want Here maps to behave like Google or Yandex maps on mobile devices — by default map panning is available only with two fingers on mobile devices. One finger panning just do nothing and just scrolls the page not moves the map.

You could achieve something like this by disabling the Dragging behavior of the map.
// boolean to check if map will receive events
var mapEventsOn = false;
// to move the page by the amount which was captured by the map canvas
map.addEventListener('pointerleave',
function(e)
{
eventEndY = e.currentPointer.viewportY;
mapEventsOn = false;
if(!behavior.isEnabled(H.mapevents.Behavior.DRAGGING)){
if(eventEndY > eventStartY){
setTimeout(function() {
window.scrollBy(0,-(eventEndY-eventStartY));
}, 0);
}else{
setTimeout(function() {
window.scrollBy(0,(eventStartY-eventEndY));
}, 0);
}
}
}
);
// to capture the pixel points from the drag/scroll action on map canvas
map.addEventListener('pointerdown',
function(e)
{
eventStartY = e.currentPointer.viewportY;
}
);
// detect the scroll points from map events
map.addEventListener('pointerup',
function(e)
{
eventEndY = e.currentPointer.viewportY;
}
);
map.addEventListener('pointercancel',
function(e)
{
mapEventsOn = false;
}
);
map.addEventListener('pointerenter',
function(e)
{
mapEventsOn = true;
}
);
document.addEventListener('touchmove',
function(e)
{
if(mapEventsOn)
{
var touch = e.touches[0];
if(e.touches.length == 1)
{
behavior.disable(H.mapevents.Behavior.DRAGGING);
}
if(e.touches.length == 2)
{
// This means there are two finger move gesture on screen
behavior.enable(H.mapevents.Behavior.DRAGGING);
}
}
},
false);

Here Maps - infobubble reposition in viewport

I'm upgrading an application from Here Maps Javascript API v2 to v3.
In v2, the infobubbles re-position in the viewport so they stay on the screen (e.g. if it's on the left of the viewport, then the infobubble re-positions to the right so it doesn't appear off screen)
This behaviour no longer exists in v3 of the Here Maps JS API. The infobubble stays put all the time. I can't find any settings for this - is it possible to get this old behaviour back?
Cheers
I couldn't find any solution to this so rolled my own code to make it happen.
Here it is in case it helps anyone out ...
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function () {
if ($('.H_ib_body').is(':visible')) {
var top = parseInt($('.H_ib_top').css('transform').split(',')[5]);
var left = parseInt($('.H_ib_top').css('transform').split(',')[4]);
var height = $('.H_ib_body').height();
if ($('.H_ib_body').attr('data-isBottom') != '1') { // on top
if (height - top > 0) {
{
$('.H_ib_body').css('bottom', 'auto').css('top', '0em').attr('data-isBottom', '1');
$('.H_ib_tail').css('transform', 'rotate(180deg)');
}
}
} else { // on bottom
var totalHeight = $('#map canvas').height();
if ((top + height) > totalHeight) {
$('.H_ib_body').css('bottom', '.5em').css('top', 'auto').attr('data-isBottom', '0');
$('.H_ib_tail').css('transform', '');
}
}
if ($('.H_ib_body').attr('data-isRight') != '1') { // on left
if (left - $('.H_ib_body').width() < -30) {
$('.H_ib_body').css('right', 'auto').css('left', '-20px').attr('data-isRight', '1');
}
} else { // on right
var totalWidth = $('#map canvas').width();
if (left + $('.H_ib_body').width() > totalWidth) {
$('.H_ib_body').css('right', '0px').css('left', 'auto').attr('data-isRight', '0');
}
}
}
}, 20);
});

Rendering from two cameras at the same time in A-Frame

the recent v0.3.0 blog post mentions WebVR 1.0 support allowing "us to have different content on the desktop display than the headset, opening the door for asynchronous gameplay and spectator modes." This is precisely what I'm trying to get working. I'm looking to have one camera in the scene represent the viewpoint of the HMD and a secondary camera represent a spectator of the same scene and render that view to a canvas on the same webpage. 0.3.0 removes the ability to render a-scene to a specific canvas in favor of embedded component. Any thoughts on how to accomplish two cameras rendering a single scene simultaneously?
My intention is to have a the desktop display show what a user is doing from a different perspective. My end goal is to be able to build a mixed reality green screen component.
While there may be a better or cleaner way to do this in the future, I was able to get a second camera rendering by looking at examples of how this is done in the THREE.js world.
I add a component to a non-active camera called spectator. in the init function I set up a new renderer and attach to div outside the scene to create a new canvas. I then call the render method inside the tick() part of the lifecycle.
I have not worked out how to isolate the movement of this camera yet. The default look controls of the 0.3.0 aframe scene still control both camera

I've created a set of components that can help with this. https://github.com/diarmidmackenzie/aframe-multi-camera
Here's an example showing usage with A-Frame 1.2.0 to display the main camera on the left half of the screen, and a secondary camera on the right half.

How do I draw a marker or a circle on a Google StreetViewPanorama

I am creating a walkthrough for the interior of a building and am wondering how to draw a marker on a StreetViewPanorama. Maybe I'm missing something basic, but everything I have read indicates that you need a lat and lng to draw the marker.
Here is what I have:
var initPosPanoID, streetView;
function initPano() {
// Set StreetView provider.
var streetViewOptions = {
zoom: 0,
panoProvider: getCustomPanorama,
pano : "lobby",
addressControlOptions: {
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER
}
};
// Create a StreetView object.
var streetViewDiv = document.getElementById('map');
streetView = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(streetViewDiv, streetViewOptions);
// Add links when it happens "links_change" event.
google.maps.event.addListener(streetView, "links_changed", createCustomLink);
google.maps.event.addListener(streetView, "pano_changed", function() {
var panoCell = document.getElementById('pano-cell');
panoCell.innerHTML = panorama.getPano();
});
}
function getCustomPanoramaTileUrl(panoID, zoom, tileX, tileY) {
// Return a pano image given the panoID.
return "images/he/" + panoID + '.jpg';
}
function getHeading(panoID) {
var heading;
switch(panoID) {
case "lobby":
heading = 0;
break;
case "secorner":
heading = 100;
break;
}
return heading;
}
function getCustomPanorama(panoID) {
// get a custom heading for the pano
var heading = getHeading(panoID);
var streetViewPanoramaData = {
links: [],
copyright: 'Imagery (c) HumanElement',
tiles: {
tileSize : new google.maps.Size(1024, 512),
worldSize : new google.maps.Size(1024, 512),
// The heading in degrees at the origin of the panorama
// tile set.
centerHeading : heading,
getTileUrl : getCustomPanoramaTileUrl
}
};
switch(panoID) {
case "lobby":
// Description of this point.
streetViewPanoramaData["location"] = {
pano: 'lobby',
description: "Human Element",
latLng: new google.maps.LatLng(42.282138, -83.751471)
};
return streetViewPanoramaData;
case "secorner":
streetViewPanoramaData["location"] = {
pano: 'secorner',
description: "SouthEast Corner",
latLng: new google.maps.LatLng(42.282078, -83.751413)
};
return streetViewPanoramaData;
}
}
function createCustomLink() {
var links = streetView.getLinks();
var panoID = streetView.getPano();
switch(panoID) {
case "lobby":
links.push({
description : "SouthEast Corner",
pano : "secorner",
heading : 280
});
break;
case "secorner":
links.push({
description : "HumanElement Lobby",
pano : "lobby",
heading : 90
});
break;
}
}
I would like to have different markers or touchpoints at different locations, but am not sure how to get them on there.
Trying to draw a standard marker does not work without the lat/lng.
I thought about trying to create it around a google.maps.Point thinking I might be able to use the x and y from my tiles, but couldn't seem to get that working.
The other options I see are related to google.maps.drawing.DrawingManager.
Does anyone have any advice on this?
Setting up the map this way helped: It creates the map and panorama separately and then sets the panorama into the map, rather than just having the panorama object by itself.
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: position,
zoom: 10
});
// Create the panorama and set it into the map
panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(
document.getElementById('map'), {
position: position,
pov: {
heading: 0,
pitch: -10
},
// Override the default panoId to outside the building to start
pano:'e_giRekRylYAAAQn7y2xAg'
});
map.setStreetView(panorama);
For placing markers on the map, I found an excellent plugin which creates points and then places elements on those points.
https://github.com/marmat/google-maps-api-addons/tree/master/panomarker
So far this is working very well. If you have an interior walkthrough, you should be able to toggle markers based on the PanoId. You can even add click listeners to open up dialogs.

extension appearing in the context menu of the browsers

I am developing a cross browser extension using kango framework. I want to add my extension to the context menu of the browser. I already have set "context_menu": true in the permissions array in extension_info.json file, but still my extension does not appear in the context menu ( when there is a right click in the browser window). How can I do this?
You need to add an event listener to main.js like this:
kango.ui.contextMenuItem.addEventListener(kango.ui.contextMenuItem.event.CLICK, function() {
kango.browser.tabs.getCurrent(function(tab) {
tab.dispatchMessage('ContextMenuItemClick');
});
});
And in the content.js you need to consume the event like this:
function handleContextMenuClick() {
var clickedElement = null;
if ('addEventListener' in document) {
document.addEventListener('mousedown', function(event) {
if (event.button == 2 && IsSupported()) {
clickedElement = event.target;
kango.console.log('StopIt menu item click 1');
}
}, true);
} else {
document.attachEvent('onmousedown', function(event) {
event = event || window.event;
if (event.button == 2&& IsSupported()) {
clickedElement = event.srcElement;
kango.console.log('StopIt menu item click 2');
}
});
}
kango.addMessageListener('ContextMenuItemClick', function(event) {
kango.console.log("addMessageListener: ContextMenuItemClick added");
});
}
handleContextMenuClick();
// Only activate the menu when the user is on facebook or twitter.
// This should be loaded from a service and updated one each new domain visited.
function IsSupported()
{
if(document.domain.indexOf("facebook.") > -1) return true;
if(document.domain.indexOf("twitter.") > -1) return true;
return false;
}

CSS Transitions iOS 7 Phonegap

I have used toggle switch from this http://proto.io/freebies/onoff/ in my phonegap app.
It's been working fine on android and iOS6, however it's not working on iOS 7 phonegap app.
Does anyone know if there is any problem with CSS transition on iOS7 Webview?
I have changed following code
Switchery.prototype.handleOnchange = function(state) {
var evt = new Event('click');
this.element.dispatchEvent(evt);
if (typeof Event === 'function') {
var event = new Event('change', { cancelable: true });
this.element.dispatchEvent(event);
} else {
this.element.fireEvent('onchange');
}
};
into this
Switchery.prototype.handleOnchange = function(state) {
if ("createEvent" in document) {
var event = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
event.initEvent("change", false, true);
} else {
this.element.fireEvent('onchange');
}
};
Also I have commented following lines (multiple of following) in setPosition() function of switchery.js
// this.setSpeed();
