Hi,

We are generating KML files for the traffic data we calculated and we want to show that on the map with Green,Red and yellow lines.This works fine on Google Earth if i load the KML there.

My requirement is i have to show the same on Google Maps on the device.

************ KML Sample ***********************

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document>
<LookAt>
<longitude>-73.7906468706933</longitude>

</coordinates>
</LineString>
</Placemark>
</Document></kml>

************ END *********************************

I used the following code to load my KML

Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=http://10.168.6.71/kmlTesting/kmlTesting.jsp?key=DM,USA");
mapIntent.setData(uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mapIntent, "Sample Map"));

******************************************************

I get the error "This community Map cannot be loaded it contains errors"


I tried capturing a route in google Earth - saved it as KML and used that one to refer in the above piece of code but still the same error.

Could you guys please help me it's really urgent.

Anyone know how to correct this problem I'm getting an error too.

Got it working here is what I used.

final Intent myIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=http://www.mysite.com/locations.kml"));
startActivity(myIntent);

This will just show all your placemarks listed in the file. I'm gonna try and find a parser for the kml/kmz so I can insert the information into a database. -- If anyone has already done this I'd love to hear about it.

Actually, I am working on this right now. I should be done today or tomorrow. I will let you know.

theguire, sweet thanks a lot. Right now I'm using a text file to update my database but kml would be much much better. Can't wait.

could you post the solution for adding kml? I am very interested in getting this functionality.

Testing the solution provided to add a KML results in syntax errors:

final Intent myIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=http://maps.peachtree-city.org/Public/citylimit.kml"));
startActivity(myIntent);

"Syntax error on myIntent VariableDeclaratorID expected
myIntent can't be resolved as a type
return type missing"

Using Eclipse SDK v3.6.1
android sdk v8 Google API 2.2
