[android-developers] Maps API - internal persistence of data
I am building a maps api application and have noticed that the map position and zoom levels are restored upon subsequent application launches. Is it possible to access this persistence store so as to be able to control and detect what data is going to be restored. This would be notably useful to not have to reinvent the same process. In addition, it would appear that it will restore the last position using a default marker - which in my case is not necessarily what is needed. I would prefer being able to do this through correct api calls as opposed to hacking it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I see no markers if I have not added them myself via an overlay. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Maps API - internal persistence of data
Hi Mark, Thank you for your rapid reply (notably for a Saturday). You are right - I spoke too soon. I was creating the marker myself (*now that's embarrassing*). It would appear that the last location, zoom level and map type is preserved. It would still be good to be able to grab this, I feel.

Just sitting here, trying to figure out why AlarmManager alarm isn't working... It would still be good to be able to grab this, I feel. There are lots and lots of things that would be good if the Google Maps add-on offered. Holding your breath waiting for them is not recommended. :-( -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
