GoogleMapsRippleEffect

"GoogleMapsRippleEffect" is an awesome first of its type android library for showing a ripple on a google map, e.g show catchment area of an earthquake where ripples have been felt, give prominence to certain markers which need to be highlighted. Also add a ripple when your user is moving on the map and give a #PokemonGo type ripple effect. The example details of the same will be added soon.

Below samples show the ripple effect in action:

#Documentation

###Default Ripple animation Just two lines of code :
Use .startRippleMapAnimation() and .stopRippleMapAnimation() methods to start and stop Animation.
Example is given below (Preview shown above in first sample)

    // mMap is GoogleMap object, latLng is the location on map from which ripple should start
          
            MapRipple mapRipple = new MapRipple(mMap, latLng, context);
            mapRipple.startRippleMapAnimation();      //in onMapReadyCallBack
    
            @Override
            protected void onStop() {
                super.onStop();
                if (mapRipple.isAnimationRunning()) {
                    mapRipple.stopRippleMapAnimation();
                }
            }
    // Start Animation again only if it is not running
            if (!mapRipple.isAnimationRunning()) {
                mapRipple.startRippleMapAnimation();
            }

###Advanced Ripple animation

Example is given below (Preview shown above in second sample)

    // mMap is GoogleMap object, latLng is the location on map from which ripple should start
          
            mapRipple = new MapRipple(mMap, latLng, context);
            mapRipple.withNumberOfRipples(3);
            mapRipple.withFillColor(Color.BLUE);
            mapRipple.withStrokeColor(Color.BLACK);
            mapRipple.withStrokewidth(10);      // 10dp
            mapRipple.withDistance(2000);      // 2000 metres radius
            mapRipple.withRippleDuration(12000);    //12000ms
            mapRipple.withTransparency(0.5f);
            mapRipple.startRippleMapAnimation();
    // Use same procedure to stop Animation and start it again as mentioned anove in Default Ripple Animation Sample

###Update center of ripple as location changes(Needed when user moves) Just one line of code is needed:
Use .mapRipple.withLatLng(LatLng changedLatlng) method anytime in future to update center of ripple.

// after implementing **LocationListener** interface to current class use:
    	@Override
    	public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
       		mapRipple.withLatLng(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()));
    	}
//See the sample for more help.
