Map Download

This example demonstrates how to list the road maps available on the server for download, how to download a map while indicating the download progress, and how to display the download’s finished status.

Setup

First, get an API key token, see the Getting Started guide.

Prerequisites

Make sure you completed the Environment Setup - Flutter Examples guide before starting this guide.

Build and run

Go to the map_download directory within the Flutter examples directory, which is the name of this example project.

Note - the gem_kit directory containing the Maps SDK for Flutter should be in the plugins directory of the example, e.g. example_pathname/plugins/gem_kit - see the environment setup guide above.

Run: flutter pub get

Configure the native parts:

First, verify that the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable is set to the root path of your android SDK.

In android/build.gradle add the maven block as shown, within the allprojects block, for both debug and release builds:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
           url "${rootDir}/../plugins/gem_kit/android/build"
        }
    }
}

in android/app/build.gradle within the android block, in the defaultConfig block, the android SDK version minSdk must be set as shown below.

Additionally, for release builds, in android/app/build.gradle, within the android block, add the buildTypes block as shown:

Replace example_pathname with the actual project pathname

android {
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.magiclane.gem_kit.examples.example_pathname"
        minSdk 21
        targetSdk flutter.targetSdk
        versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
        versionName flutterVersionName
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            shrinkResources false

            // TODO: Add your own signing config for the release build.
            // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }
    }
}

In the ios/Podfile configuration file, at the top, set the minimum ios platform version to 14 like this:

platform :ios, '14.0'

We recommend you to run these commands after you copy the gem_kit into your project: |flutter clean |flutter pub get |and |cd ios |pod install

Then run the project:

flutter run --debug
or
flutter run --release

App entry and initialization

const projectApiToken = String.fromEnvironment('GEM_TOKEN');

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

This code initializes the projectApiToken with the required authorization token and launches the app.

How it works

This example demonstrates the following features:

  • List road maps available on the server for download.

  • Download a map while displaying download progress.

  • Indicate when the download is finished.

Map Display and UI Components

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  void dispose() {
    GemKit.release();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        backgroundColor: Colors.deepPurple[900],
        title: const Text(
          'Map Download',
          style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
        ),
        actions: [
          IconButton(
            onPressed: () => _onMapButtonTap(context),
            icon: const Icon(
              Icons.map_outlined,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
      body: GemMap(onMapCreated: _onMapCreated, appAuthorization: projectApiToken),
    );
  }

  void _onMapCreated(GemMapController controller) async {
    SdkSettings.setAllowOffboardServiceOnExtraChargedNetwork(
        ServiceGroupType.contentService, true);
  }

  void _onMapButtonTap(BuildContext context) async {
    Navigator.of(context).push(MaterialPageRoute<dynamic>(
      builder: (context) => const MapsPage(),
    ));
  }
}

This code defines the main app structure and how it handles the map’s initialization and the navigation to the map download page.

Maps page

        ),
        backgroundColor: Colors.deepPurple[900],
      ),
      body: FutureBuilder<List<ContentStoreItem>>(
          future: _getMaps(),
          builder: (context, snapshot) {
            if (!snapshot.hasData || snapshot.data == null) {
              return const Center(

                  return MapsItem(map: map);
                },
              ),
            );
          }),
    );
  }

  Future<List<ContentStoreItem>> _getMaps() async {
    Completer<List<ContentStoreItem>> mapsList =
        Completer<List<ContentStoreItem>>();
    ContentStore.asyncGetStoreContentList(ContentType.roadMap,
        (err, items, isCached) {

        mapsList.complete(items);
      }
    });
    return mapsList.future;
  }
}

The MapsPage widget fetches the list of maps available for download and displays them in a scrollable list.

The MapsItem widget represents each map item in the list, allowing users to download or delete maps and see the download progress. The widget also allows pausing and resuming downloads.
