I am trying to implement a map app with auto-rotate function (when pressing on corresponding button) based on compass heading. I used the answer of this question and adapt it to my project: android maps auto-rotate
Since my device does not support Sensor.TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR, I modified the code using Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION (deprecated). Currently, it works well. The only problem is that the rotation effect of the map has no continuity. The animation runs shakingly. I checked some other apps and I liked their rotation effect. Their map smoothly rotates.
In order to eliminate this problem, can you advise an improvement?
My implementation is this:
float mDeclination;
private SensorManager mSensorManager;
Sensor sensor;
boolean isCompassOn = false;
private GoogleMap map; // Might be null if Google Play services APK is not available.
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
mSensorManager = (SensorManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
sensor = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION);
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mSensorManager.registerListener(this, sensor, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI);
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
mSensorManager.unregisterListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
GeomagneticField field = new GeomagneticField(
(float)location.getLatitude(),
(float)location.getLongitude(),
(float)location.getAltitude(),
System.currentTimeMillis()
);
mDeclination = field.getDeclination();
}
@Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
if(event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION && isCompassOn) {
updateCamera(event.values[0] + mDeclination);
}
}
private void updateCamera(float bearing) {
CameraPosition oldPos = map.getCameraPosition();
CameraPosition pos = CameraPosition.builder(oldPos).bearing(bearing).build();
GoogleMap.CancelableCallback callback = new GoogleMap.CancelableCallback() {
@Override
public void onFinish() {
}
@Override
public void onCancel() {
}
};
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(pos), 24, callback);
}
@Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
}
