user6649667 :
I'm creating an app which picks places from the Google maps and stores the address in the database. I also want to store the snapshot of the picked place in the storage, so I can display the data with corresponding snapshot.
When I select a place from the map, the place-picker activity shows the following dialog:
Here in the dialog, the address, latitude and longitude and also the snapshot is shown. I know how to get address and latLng. but don't know how to store that displayed snapshot.
Here is my method which retrieves everything other than that image:
//opening place picker activity.
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode,
int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST
&& resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
final Place place = PlacePicker.getPlace(this, data);
final CharSequence name = place.getName();
final CharSequence address = place.getAddress();
String attributions = (String) place.getAttributions();
if (attributions == null) {
attributions = "";
}
tv4.setText(place.getLatLng().toString()+"\n"+name+"\n"+address+"\n"+attributions);
} else {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
}
I don't know how to get the image and store it in external or internal storage. Is it possible? I've to take snapshot as explained in this link?
EDIT
I have the following activity, which is calling activity of place-picker:

Mick :
Since you are able to get the long and lat coordinates, you can get the map image by using the Google maps api.
Here's the link with examples and docs:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro
I assume this is what the dialog is doing in the background.
If that does not work, or you want something more exact, I suggest using Wireshark to monitor exactly what data is being sent and received.
I just ran a test with your map locations, and with this url:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=37.430610,%20-121.972090&zoom=17&size=400x400&key=[myAPIKey]
I got this image:
Using the coords from your dialog:
Using https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?markers=37.414333,-122.076444&zoom=17&size=400x250&key=[myKey]
