I am using Google Maps Android API v2 for creating a application which provides users with a custom map image and markers for place information. I would like to know if there is any option to overlay a PNG image file directly on top of Google Android maps. Something similar to the below example using Google Maps JavaScript API v3.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/maptype-image-overlay
This example uses TileOverlay, but you may also try with GroundOverlay, which has a simpler API and you can embeed your PNG directly without splitting it into tiles for all zoom levels. The drawback is you will see pixels on very high zoom levels.

I am using Google Maps SDK on iOS using Swift, and have tried to get the map to go under the safe area, but it always respects the safe area.
I have attached the storyboard setup in the images.
How would I stop respecting the safe area and fill it?
I am looking for a solution to share the screen from a mobile AR app (ARKit or Unity AR Foundation).
The screen needs to be shared to a browser on the desktop and it should be possible to draw lines on the screen from the browser using the mouse in the AR environment that can be seen on the mobile app which is sharing the screen.
After some investigation there does not seem to be a viable solution to truly share the same AR instance with browser/mobile as you can do with 2 mobile devices.
There should however be some sort of work around possible as it can be done with Vuforia Chalk AR.
Here is a GIF showing how it works:
AR Drawing demo
Sharing a video seems to be possible
Specifically trying to figure out how the line is drawn from the browser and then displayed on the mobile AR app
How can you achieve the same functionality with open source alternatives or Unity and custom code (No Vuforia is possible)?
Looking for a tutorial or some directions to how this can be implemented.
I was wondering how I can add lines to a Google Maps API for Xcode.
You can see here that Google added a purple dotted line along a road which can be clicked on for further details.
Is this possible in Xcode and how do I do this?
The Maps SDK for IOS allows you to add Polylines to draw lines on a Google map which you can then customize to make it have a similar look to the line shown in the image you've posted.
Hope this helps you get started!
How to take a panorama picture using Ionic ? i tried using the camera plugin on ionic but no luck. it just take a simple picture.
Extra Camera features such as panorama mode (with multiple images blending etc) are not yet exposed by platforms APIs unfortunately. You can not achieve it in Ionic since current plugins do not have those functions.
Android webview can be used as a UI element in Android, how do I render the whole webview at a specific place using Google Tango? Currently, one can place 3D objects, sprites.
It is possible but not with normal Android UI out of the box
If you build your tango application using unity you can use for example this https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/82379 to render the web view as part of the 3d space
