map_type_picker 1.0.4

Easily change between map types when using Platform Maps.

Dart package that creates a custom picker to easily change between map types when using Platform Maps in your app.

Features

Use a Stack widget to overlay the map type picker ontop of a Platform Map, then easily switch between different map types. Map type picker colors are completly customizable.

Getting started

The platform_maps_flutter package must be imported into your project before using the map_type_picker package

Usage

1. Set starting map type in your Widget initState

@override
  void initState() {
    MapTypePicker.mapType = MapType.normal; // Here, options are .normal, .hybrid, .satellite
    super.initState();
  }

2. Set Platform Map mapType to variable set in initState

PlatformMap(
            mapType: MapTypePicker.mapType, // Here
            initialCameraPosition: const CameraPosition(
              target: LatLng(51.507391, -0.1277),
              zoom: 10.0,
            ))

3. In the same class as the Map Type Picker, create a refresh function to update parent Platform Map state from child MapTypePicker

refresh() {
    setState(() {});
  }

4. Overlay Platform Map with Map Type Picker widget, pass the refresh function in the notifyParent argument

MapTypePicker(notifyParent: refresh)
