Summary


In this chapter, we learned a lot about user interaction.

We explored the disabling/enabling of UI controls, gestures, and a map toolbar with the help of XML attributes and programmatically. Then, we learned about map click events, camera change events, indoor map change events, and the usage of projections. Finally, we finished the chapter by creating a custom map application that includes some complex features.

In the next chapter, we will learn about custom views.
