Android from iOS Guy's Perspective

I got a chance to learn Android Development through this course on Udemy , which is very good for freshers or even noobs like me or the one with literally no experience Programming at all. I have just completed it ( Believe me: I have listened and followed all the videos and have experimented all those fundamental/basic codes ;) ) and wanted to share my experience with this MOOC. I believe that MOOC will vanish the standard academic learning in the coming days. Since, i have been doing only iOS apps for a very long time, being basically an iOS dev, the perspective of this post comes from that point of view. So, here goes my thoughts on the Android Eco system at first: I haven't really been an avid Android user, since i haven't owned a phone yet, but i would have to admit that it really was a wonderful experience throughout the course learning and knowing about the  Eco system itself. Before going into the course, i would like to thank the Udemy team and...

Free Hand Drawing on Google's Map View

-
Recently, I got a chance to work on a project, where we needed to provide an ability to users of an iOS app to draw on Maps. Basically, we decided to go with Google Maps, because of its overall coverage and its popularity. Hence, we used  Google Maps SDK for iOS  and we wanted to implement "Free Hand Drawing on the Google Maps". To do so, I started searching around the internet for some good resources, but weren't able to find any good one that could just be used like Plug and Play. We had to do a lot of handling on our own and hence decided to write a blog post and a sample project just to make it useful for others, so that others in the same path don't struggle much like me. If you are only planning to draw a Polygon on the Map (As most of them do), then may be you don't have to read the entire post. Instead just follow these steps: (i) Copy & Paste these Folders into your project: "SARMapDrawView", "Categories" & "Models...

Free Hand Drawing on Apple Maps

This is kinda a note based on the learning I've had working with the Free Hand Drawing(FHD in short) on all the major Maps(Google, Mapbox & Apple Maps) on the market. So, If you'd like to have an in-depth technical understanding, please refer this  post which was my first experience with FHD on Google Maps that delves deep into the Google Maps SDK explaining the FHD functionality & its implementation. And to get a context on the Mapbox based FHD solution, please do refer this blog. What I learned with Apple Maps: Apple Maps iOS SDK doesn't differ much from Mapbox iOS SDK, most of the API's has almost the same signatures/pattern, it almost looks like a copy-paste from a developer(API User)'s perspective, Not sure if Apple Copied from Mapbox or vice-versa(I pick this), but the mapping system works totally different internally especially w.r.t the FHD features like polylines, polygons etc. The FHD works smoother on Apple Maps and there are some major di...
