Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

react-native-osmdroid npm version Downloads

React Native Open Street Maps components for Android. This is unofficial React Native wrapper for Osmdroid SDK. Many thanks to fqborges for his library, which is the basis of this library!

Installation

npm install @milad445/react-native-osmdroid

Tile Caching with TileCacher

The TileCacher feature enables efficient offline map functionality by caching downloaded map tiles on the device's local storage. This allows for improved performance in map tile loading, reducing network requests for previously visited areas and ensuring maps remain accessible without an internet connection.

How it Works

The TileCacher utilizes the cacheTilesFromDirectory method to specify the local directory path where map tiles will be cached for offline use. This feature is currently available only on Android.

import { TileCacher } from '@milad445/react-native-osmdroid';

TileCacher.cacheTilesFromDirectory('/storage/emulated/0/map/tiles', { showProgressToast: true });

Directory Structure

The cached tiles must be stored following the "/{z}/{x}/{y}.png" subdirectory pattern, where {z} is the zoom level, and {x} and {y} are the tile coordinates. This structure allows the map component to efficiently locate and load the appropriate tiles based on the current map view.

Managing Cache Size

It's crucial to manage the cache directory's size to prevent excessive storage usage. Developers are advised to implement a strategy for cache cleanup or limiting the cache size.

Manifest

In most cases, you will have to set the following authorizations in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"  />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

On Android 13 or higher, the android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES permission and android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" attribute in your AndroidManifest.xml are required to access external storage for tile caching.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES"/>

Add the android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" attribute to your application tag if targeting Android 10 (API level 29) or higher.

If you are only using parts of the library, you can adjust the permissions accordingly.

Online tile provider

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"  />

Offline tile provider and storing tiles

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Location provider

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

Android 6.0+ devices require you have to check for "dangerous" permissions at runtime. osmdroid requires the following dangerous permissions: WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION/ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. See OpenStreetMapViewer's implementation or Google Documentation on Permissions

Note

This feature is specific to Android. Ensure your app has the necessary permissions to read from and write to the specified directory, particularly on Android, where runtime permissions are required for accessing external storage.

Usage Example

import React from 'react';
import { Button, View } from 'react-native';
import MapView, { UrlTile, TileCacher } from '@milad445/react-native-osmdroid';

export default function App() {
  const cacheTiles = () => {
    TileCacher.cacheTilesFromDirectory('/storage/emulated/0/map/tiles', { showProgressToast: true });
  };

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <Button title="Cache Tiles" onPress={cacheTiles} />
      <MapView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        <UrlTile urlTemplate="" />
      </MapView>
    </View>
  );
}

Note: Caching process duration is proportional to the number of tiles. Large datasets may take longer to cache.
