Re: Route animation in google maps with GWT

hi,

This is the scenario u need to do..I implement this in a program used for a vehicle tracking...

1. get all the data u need to animate(all LatlLon positions) and store them in a arraylist

2. start one timer (gwt timer ) let me say witch will fire on every 100ms (U have to test what will be the real time, dependes on the
power of the browser, for IE i had the biggest and foer opera and chrome and safari the lowest, they have the best JS engins)

3.when the timer fires the event(u take by some logic couple of the Lotlng (3-4) from the list, and till the next firing of the timer u make a paint of this positions)

4. the timer pasts 100ms and fires again (by this time u have finished with the paitn of the first 3-4 Latlon) so you move again to point (3) when the timer fires again (4) you soposed to be finished with (3) and u move again to (3) and u do this move (3)-(4)-(3) while the list is not empty..when the list is empty u just terminate(stop) the timer...

This is the scenario...u have to make a testing on the timing for sleep of the timer...(when new event is fired for the timer, u have to be finished with show of the latlon-s, what i want to say is that the combination of timer fire time and the number of the events u take is something u need to calculate by performanse(on what u do with the positions and how much time takes to handle this)


Hope I help,

Regards from Germany:)

p.s u cant use thread sleep and so on...because u dont have threds in the browser side..browser screepts(JS, FLEX, FLESH, SILVERLITE) are single thread so there is no logic(and no way that can be done) for GWT to emulate this libs.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your answer. I tried some things with the array and timer
and that staff. I tried with wait(), sleep() and also with a timer
object. But everytime, there comes an error, that these things are not
supported by gwt..

The easiest way would be to have the normal callback, which gets the
latlng array. Then in the "onSuccess()" Method changing the marker
positions with a for loop and a delay. I tried that, but i couldn't
find a possibility to make this delay

Is it possible to do that like that, or do i have to make already the
callback with the delay? Does that mean, that i have to make two
callbacks, one which gets the array and the secon in a for loop?

Thanks and best regards from switzerland.
