This is a post to say that I created a -very basic- WFS client on Android. It gets point-features from GeoServer in GeoJSON format and displays them on top of a Google Maps view. You can only zoom in and out, and pan the map at the moment, but I made it work. YEAH!
I like to be flaebrgasted with some screendumps 🙂 I’m not so into the WFS stuff, but is it a GEO-WebSerfice thingy?
Screenshots when ready. It looks nice now, but not the way I like it. WFS is the “data” variant of a GIS webservice (WMS is the map/pixelbased variant).
I need a client for call a WFS service…can you help me with some source code?
Thank you.
Sure, show me what you got and I’ll see what I can do.
Can you please help me by explaining how you acheived it. In my current requirement i need to do the same.Did you use any 3rd party map library or the native google map SDK? please guide me on proceeding further..
Raghu, it’s been 5 years since I published that, a lot changed since then, especially in the Android SDK.
As far as I can remember, I did not use any pre-made library, but in Android/Java I just created the requests to send to GeoServer and plotted the result on the map using the Google Maps API indeed.
Look at this on how to build the request: WFS reference.
