For me the missing capabilities are : 

  1. listener for pin/marker tap (exists now but is unstable/unreliable)
  2. separate listener for a bubble on top of marker tap
  3. method to show/hide bubble
  4. ability to insert icon and/or button inside bubble. 
  5. So the bubble listener should respond to overall taps in the bubble while a separate listener should respond to the icon/button inside the bubble. 
  6. More consistent map tap behavior across IOS & Android. Currently Android bubbles don’t disappear unless you tap X on them while IOS markers disappear when you tap on another marker or an empty spot on the map etc. If I had wishlist #3 I could make Android markers disappear when I get a listener call for a new marker.

I’m sure you could put in a lot more bells & whistles using direct access to native map api but for my current app the items listed above are causing me the most grief. I would of course prefer CL to fix the mapView implementation but I don’t hold my hopes high on that. 

@nmichaud, how about you? I bet most of the above will apply to your project as well. Anything else you identified as a need?

#82

I agree with everything mentionned by @ksan.

I would add on top of that the following:

Get the current zoom factor (very important when restoring a map view)

Get the center position of the map (very important when restoring a map view)

Control the pin shadow and drop pin animation (in our case we don’t want this and we have no control for it with Corona)

Ability to add/remove Polyline

This is a quick list of the most important things we need. We would be happy to give you a complete doc if you need one.

thanks

Current map plugin missing:

Showing the label of the pins at all times, NOT just when one clicks on it in a speech bubble…Plus what everyone else said above! :slight_smile:

iCloud! I’d like to be able to sync my game progress across devices.

Not to say it would not be cool to have this plugin, it might be even better perhaps to use a cross platform solution. I am able to do exactly what you express here with the amazing Coronium. See at http://coronium.io/ and various posts on this forum. Most recent video demo of the user & push module should give you a glimpse of what you can do to easily synch up game progress. See at

Bluetooth?

I’d love to see a plug-in to support the new Apple Healthkit…  

This could really open up a new market for Corona

#89

+1 for Healthkit.

Tapjoy!

Twitter has made their mobile app install unit publicly available today, but in order to track installs we need to use an external tracking provider like AppsFlyer.  AppsFlyer is good because it also supports Facebook. 

Would love to get a plugin for AppsFlyer - their SDK for iOS and Android looks super easy too.

#92

+1 for Applovin! Mo

#93

I agree … I am looking also for NFC plugin that allow you to read from NFC chips.

#94

We need a good install tracking solution.

Seems http://www.appsflyer.com/ is a good one.

#95

+1 for being able to connect to Bluetooth devices

#96

I would love to see a more robust video solution.

Wishlist:

  • Cross platform format

  • Slowmotion play back

  • Upload to youtube account

  • Thumbnails

  • Stored in device media library not DocumentsDirectory of app

  • url to access video from Media Library

  • Boolean test to see if video at URL still exists in library

 

Sure a bunch of other nice things but i’d pay a couple hundred for this kind of plugin.

#97

do you have a website for the existing corona plugins that you offer ?
