Events

JavaScript within the browser is event driven, meaning that JavaScript responds to interactions by generating events, and expects a program to listen to interesting events. The phonegap-googlemaps-plugin fires several events when the status of the map is changed. You can catch these events with addEventListener.

There are several events.

• MAP_READY
• MAP_CLICK
• MAP_LONG_CLICK
• MY_LOCATION_CHANGE(Android)
• MY_LOCATION_BUTTON_CLICK
• CAMERA_CHANGE
• MAP_LOADED(Android)
• MAP_WILL_MOVE(iOS)

###MAP_READY event Phonegap-googlemaps-plugin fires once MAP_READY event when the map has fully initialized. After the event, you can safely make calls to the Phonegap-googlemaps-plugin function.

var map = plugin.google.maps.Map.getMap();
map.addEventListener(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_READY, function(map) {
  //The map is initialized.
});

###MAP_CLICK event MAP_CLICK event is fired when you tap on a map. The location of the tap position is passed as the argument.

map.on(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_CLICK, function(latLng) {
  alert("Map is clicked.\n" + latLng.toUrlValue());
});

###MAP_LONG_CLICK event MAP_LONG_CLICK event is fired when you press and hold a while longer on a map. The location of the position is passed as the argument.

map.on(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_LONG_CLICK, function(latLng) {
  alert("Map is long clicked.\n" + latLng.toUrlValue());
});
