How to Detect Animation Completion in Google Map with Flutter

When building applications that utilize maps, one common challenge developers face is the need to track when an animation, like moving the map's camera to a new position, has finished. This is especially important when the subsequent actions depend on this completion. In this guide, we'll dive deep into how to detect when a Google Map animation finishes in a Flutter application.

Setting the Scene: Google Map Setup

Let’s start with the initial setup of the Google Map in your Flutter application. Here’s a simple setup that creates a basic Google Map and prepares it for animations:

In this code snippet, we define a GoogleMap widget, set its type to normal, and specify the initial camera position. The onMapCreated callback is used to complete a Future with the newly created GoogleMapController, which allows us to control the map programmatically later on.

Animating the Camera Position

Once the map is set up, we'll want to animate the camera position to a new target. Here’s how you can do that:

In this example, we define the new camera position with a zoom level of 8 and then animate the camera using the animateCamera method of the GoogleMapController. However, the critical question remains: How do we know when this animation completes?

Solution: Detecting Animation Completion

The key to detecting when the camera animation has completed lies in leveraging the Future that the animateCamera method returns. This Future allows us to perform additional actions once the animation is done. Here’s how you can implement this:

Breaking It Down

The animateCamera method returns a Future.

By using .then((_) => ...), you can specify the actions that should take place after the animation is complete.

This solution is straightforward and enables you to extend your app’s functionality, such as triggering events or navigating to different screens once the camera animation finishes.

Summary

Using Google Maps in Flutter opens up possibilities for rich user experiences. However, understanding how to manage animations effectively can significantly enhance usability. Detecting when map animation finishes can be critical for tasks reliant on that timing.

Key Takeaways

The Future returned by animateCamera can be used to determine the end of the animation.

Simply chaining a .then() allows you to run additional code after the animation completes.

Incorporate these techniques into your Flutter applications to create smooth, responsive map interactions that improve user engagement. Happy coding!
