You can call:

    map.getCenter();

to return a LatLng object.

Updated 2018
The below codes are for Google Maps API for Android.
In case anyone needs this Script:

    double mylat = mGoogleMap.getCameraPosition().target.latitude;               
    double mylon = mGoogleMap.getCameraPosition().target.longitude;

I have created a UISegmentedControl with two segments using the interface builder (from storyboard), but I would like to set the text of the two segments programmatically.  I want to do this because I am using NSLocalizedString for all of my buttons, labels, titles etc.
I create all the stuff in interface builder and then I add text programmatically.
I have manage to make every item to work that way but I cannot find a way to add text to my UISegmentedControl.

Is there any way to do that?
I ma trying to use the following but because the segmented control is already created in the interface builder it does not work.

    [segmentedControl initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSLocalizedString(@&quot;Title 1&quot;, @&quot;Title 1&quot;),NSLocalizedString(@&quot;Title 2&quot;, @&quot;Title 2&quot;), nil]];

Thanks a lot

I have this problem, see the trace stack: 

    E/AndroidRuntime(2410): Caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Binary XML file line #5: &lt;bitmap&gt; requires a valid src attribute

My xml file looks like:

    &lt;layer-list xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot; &gt;
        &lt;item&gt;
            &lt;bitmap android:src=&quot;@drawable/btn_1&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;/layer-list&gt;


btn_1 is another xml file in drawable resources
When i&#39;m using an image(*.png) instead of xml drawable it&#39;s ok.

Can I use a drawable resource as src to bitmap?
Just in case here is my btn_1.xml file. It doesn&#39;t work even if btn_1 file have no items.

    &lt;layer-list xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot; &gt;
    &lt;item android:drawable=&quot;@drawable/btn_arrow_bg_red&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;item&gt;
        &lt;bitmap
            android:gravity=&quot;center&quot;
            android:src=&quot;@drawable/btn_arrow_white&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;/layer-list&gt;

Is there a way to determine if a image path leads to an actual image, Ie, detect when an image fails to load in JavaScript.

For a web app, I am parsing a xml file and dynamically creating HTML images from a list of image paths. Some image paths may no longer exist on the server so I want to fail gracefully by detecting which images fail to load and deleting that HTML img element.

Note jQuery solutions wont be able to be used(the boss doesn&#39;t want to use jQuery, yes I know dont get me started). I know of a way in jQuery to detect when an image is loaded, but not whether it failed.

My code to create img elements but how can I detect if the img path leads to a failed to load image?

    var imgObj = new Image();  // document.createElement(&quot;img&quot;);
    imgObj.src = src;

I am more into front end development and have recently started exploring Backbone.js into my app. I want to persist the model data to the server.

Could you please explain me the various way to save the Model data (using json format). I am using Java on server side. Also I have mainly seen REST being used to save data. As i am more into front end dev, i am not aware of REST and other similar stuff.

It would be great if someone could please explain me the process with some simple example.

How do I compare 2 functions in javascript?
I am not talking about internal reference. Say 

    var a = function(){return 1;};
    var b = function(){return 1;};

Is it possible to compare `a` and `b` ?

Why is **this** in an anonymous function undefined when using javascript in strict mode? I understand why this could make sense, but I couldn&#39;t find any concrete answer.

Example:

    (function () {
        &quot;use strict&quot;;
        
        this.foo = &quot;bar&quot;; // *this* is undefined, why?
    }());

Test in a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Pyr5g/1/

I have this string: 

    var someString = &quot;23/03/2012&quot;;

and want to replace all the &quot;/&quot; with &quot;-&quot;.

I tried to do this:

    someString.replace(///g, &quot;-&quot;);

But it seems you cant have a forward slash `/` in there.

I loaded Google Maps API v3 and print Google Map in `div`. But when set width &amp; height to 100% and auto I can&#39;t see the Map.

Here is HTML code snippet.

    &lt;!-- Maps Container --&gt;
    &lt;div id=&quot;map_canvas&quot; style=&quot;height:100%;width:100px;margin:0 auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Is there a way to fix this issue?

I have an existing map on a page. I can select that element using something along the lines of document.getElementById() to get the HTMLElement javascript object. Is it possible to get the instance of google.maps.Map created when the map is initialised, i.e. is it a property of the HTMLElement object or in its prototype?

I have this code that renders a map.

    function initialize() {
        var myOptions = {
          center: new google.maps.LatLng(45.4555729, 9.169236),
          zoom: 13,
          mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
         
	panControl: true,
	mapTypeControl: false,
	panControlOptions: {
				position: google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_CENTER
			},
	zoomControl: true,
	zoomControlOptions: {
        style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.LARGE,
        position: google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_CENTER
	},
	scaleControl: false,
	streetViewControl: false,
	streetViewControlOptions: {
        position: google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_CENTER
				}
			};
        var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(&quot;mapCanvas&quot;),
            myOptions);
	
	
	
	var Item_1 = new google.maps.LatLng(45.5983128 ,8.9172776);
	
	var myPlace = new google.maps.LatLng(45.4555729, 9.169236);
	
	var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: Item_1, 
        map: map});
	
	var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: myPlace, 
        map: map});
	
	var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(myPlace, Item_1);
	map.fitBounds(bounds);
        
        }

Even if the two points are separated from 25 km I get this result:

I use the method **fitBounds()**

        var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(myPlace, Item_1);
        map.fitBounds(bounds);


Thanks for your support

My map is displaying fine. BUT no lables are shown on it. I can show the lables when I check the **satellite =&gt; label**. 

How I can check the **satellite =&gt; label** by default (through code). Now by default no labels are shown.

I recently developed an html5 mobile application. The application was a single page where navigation hash change events replaced the entire DOM. One section of the application was a Google Map using API v3. Before the map div is removed from the DOM, I want to remove any event handlers/listeners and free up as much memory as possible as the user may not return to that section again.

What is the best way to destroy a map instance?
