Google Street View on Corona?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi guys, I was just toying with the Maps API on Corona SDK and wondered if we can somehow access Street View.

I’m creating an app where users can place pins on the map to represent their current location, and a key part of the design is to have a photograph (of their house / street / neighbourhood) tied to that location.

I couldn’t find any Street View topics on the site - does anyone have any suggestions on how I can achieve what I need?

Thanks,

Street View is not support in Corona Maps. You would need to use native.newWebView and interface with Google maps to do that. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 33571 reply_id: 133444[/import]

…or you can use [lua]system.openURL()[/lua] to display a street view map in the device’s default web browser.

Also note that iOS’s native map view does not support street views, so we couldn’t give you support for this if we wanted to. The only way to show street view’s on iOS is via a web view. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 33571 reply_id: 133573[/import]
