Animate marker location to another in HEREMAPS

currently, i'm developing a map application similar to uber, and since im using Googles location service " intermitent thread " , i get the users location every 10-20-30 seconds and i update its new location on the map, by simply cleaning the existing List , and inserting another mark inside of it.
That makes it looks like the users icon is literally " teleporting " across the map.
ive made some researches and i was unable to find examples or of its possible to be done in Heremaps explorer edition.
I'm aware that all i gotta do is work with only one object instead of clearing my list and placing another object in it.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

With the Explore Edition of the HERE SDK you can use the flyTo() method of the MapCamera. The speed and type of the animations between two distinctive coordinates can be heavily customized.
Just to give a simple example how you can move between two coordinates without "teleporting":
private void flyTo(GeoCoordinates geoCoordinates) {
GeoCoordinatesUpdate geoCoordinatesUpdate = new GeoCoordinatesUpdate(geoCoordinates);
double bowFactor = 1;
MapCameraAnimation animation =
MapCameraAnimationFactory.flyTo(geoCoordinatesUpdate, bowFactor, Duration.ofSeconds(3));
mapCamera.startAnimation(animation);
}
Whenever you set a new coordinate as target to the camera, it will instantly switch to that location - hence it looks like teleporting. With a linear (or bow like above) animation it will look smoother and in fact the coordinates between the previous and the new location are "interpolated".
With the Navigate Edition, there's also an InterpolationListener, which can be used to provide smooth interpolated location updates when a positioning source is used.

Android Mapbox with clustering I want each feature to have different marker image

We are implementing clustering on my app. Until now we were using the addMarker method to add the markers, but now with clustering it seems that we should add them by using addSource.GeoJsonSource which we give a feature collection with all the points. With this new implementation, we are having problem giving different markers different images. We would appreciate if somebody could help.

The solution to this is not necessarily to add a new source.
You can associate multiple images with a style and use a styling expression to determine which clusters use which images. As is done in this example: https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/examples/symbol-layer-clustering/

How to create a map thumbnail with marker like location sharing in whatsapp

i am developing a chat application, Please suggest me any idea to create a map thumbnail of a location For sharing person's location to another person in chat page, like the location sharing in whatsApp.
Thanks in Advance!

back in google-maps-api1 you used to be able to get the map as a bitmap from the api, then api2 came out and you couldnt anymore so i used google-static-maps-api to get a picture of the map, but new map api 3 came out so maybe they put that functionality back in, idk but you can use google static maps api to download a map you specify the coordinates and use that

Android Capture touches coordinates in whole device

I want to capture the pointer locations in whole android device by providing a service to develop something like Pointer Location in Developer options .
First I have tried addingoverlay view which is always on top to capture the coordinates . but this method didn't let me to get touch events in move actions .
So I decided to try another way . At last I found that for rooted devices , we can get touch events but I don't know how . Could you please give some suggestions ?
thanks in advance

I have been looking for this answer as well. Can you specify how you did the overlay view and captured the coordinates?
I was able to do the overlay as well, with some other answers from here on stackOverFlow, but if I capture the Overlay coordinates, it renders the background/OS useless. Its one or the other, not an actual service in the background running or an overlay recording coords. Its one, or the other.
I have read that this goes against the Android security framework, since it would be a really big flaw when exploited. Although, everything that I have read is from 2012 at the earliest. This is the newest post in 3 years. Any insight?

Adding Marker on Google Map with J2ME

I am developing an mobile application that search the user's location via GPS and display the location of the user on the google map.
I am aware that i can load a static map base on the coordinates. But is it possible to add a marker on the static map itself??
This link http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/J2ME_Google_Maps_API doesnt shows how to add a marker. So i am wondering is it possible to do so??
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. THANKS
Kevin

If using the Google API, then there are many ways to add layers and markers; see that reference.
To use maps.google.com directly, then form the URL by adding the coordinates using the q parameter:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=45.00,-121.00 (for +45.0 lat, -121.0 long)

Further to wallyk's suggestion, for a mobile application you may want to use the mobile version of Google Maps, as follows:
http://maps.google.com/m/?q=35.89,14.42 (35.89 = latitude, 14.42 = longitude)
