how to use json ajax for google map markers
I try to use the Json Ajax for google map markers.So after clicking on the button run Ajax, I get a problem with it. it's not display markers
Should change be made?
Where is my problem?
this is My Action after run ajax:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AsMapAjax(string jobid,string subid,string Searchitem)
{
string markers = "[";
foreach (var item in UnitOfWork.WD.GetAll())
{
markers += "{";
markers += string.Format("'title': '{0}',", "Test");
markers += string.Format("'lat': '{0}',", item.Lat);
markers += string.Format("'lng': '{0}',", item.Lng);
markers += string.Format("'description': '{0}'", "www.google.com");
markers += "},";
}
markers += "];";
var mark= new MvcHtmlString(markers);
return Json(new { success = true, responseText = mark }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
}
and my jquery ajax(scripts):
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (p) {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude, p.coords.longitude);
var mapOptions = {
center: latlng,
zoom: 12,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("dvMap"), mapOptions);
//You re Here
var iconoMarca = "../../images/URHere.gif";
mymarker = new google.maps.Marker({
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
map: map,
icon: iconoMarca,
position: latlng
});
$('#prt').on('click', function () {
var Subid = document.getElementById("bluee").value;
var jobid = document.getElementById("Jobs").value;
var Searchitem = document.getElementById("SearchItem").value;
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "/My/AsMapAjax",
dataType: 'json',
data: { subid:Subid,jobid:jobid,Searchitem:Searchitem},
success: function (response) {
if (response != null && response.success) {
//alert(response.responseText);
markers=response.responseText;
} else {
alert("there is a problem!");
}
},
error: function (response) {
alert("Sorry!try again please.");
}
}
)
///////
//label
var numberMarkerImg = {
url: '../../images/shapemarker.png',
size: new google.maps.Size(32, 38),
scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(32, 38),
labelOrigin: new google.maps.Point(21,42)
};
var markerLabel = 'Test';
for (i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var data = markers[i]
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
//label
label:markerLabel ,
title: data.title,
icon:numberMarkerImg,
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP
});
( function (marker, data) {
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) {
infoWindow.setContent(data.description);
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
window.location.href = "/My/sargarmi";
});
})
(marker, data);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "resize", function() {
var center = map.getCenter();
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
map.setCenter(center);
});
});
but the markers not display ! how to fix this problem?
or is other way for this question?
thanks a lot
Your question does not explain what specific problem you are experiencing. So i am going to give you a simple - working solution which improves some of the stuff you did.
Let's start with your server method. You are building the stringified version of a json array by string concatenation. That is unnecessary and error prone. Why not let the JSON serializer which is part of the mvc framework to do that for you ?
Create a simple class to represent your marker
public class Marker
{
public string Title { set; get; }
public double Lat { set; get; }
public double Lng { set; get; }
}
Now in your action method, Build a list of this Marker class and you can pass that to the Json method.
[System.Web.Mvc.HttpPost]
public ActionResult AsMapAjax(string jobid, string subid, string Searchitem)
{
//Hard coded for demo. You may replace with values from db
var list = new List<Marker>
{
new Marker() { Title="AA" ,Lat = -33.890542, Lng=151.274856 },
new Marker() { Title="BB", Lat = -33.923036, Lng=151.259052 },
new Marker() { Title="CC" ,Lat = -34.028249, Lng=151.157507 },
};
return Json(new { success = true, responseText = list });
}
Now in your client side, you make the ajax call to this action method, read the response coming back and add markers.
$(function() {
$('#prt').on('click', function() {
initMap();
});
});
function initMap() {
//read the parameter values you want to send to server
var searchItem =$("#SearchItem").val();
var jobs=$("#Jobs").val();
var subid = $("#bluee").val();
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'),
{
zoom: 8
});
var url = "@Url.Action("AsMapAjax", "Home")";
$.post(url, { searchTerm: searchItem,jobid: jobs,subid : subid },function(res) {
if (res.success) {
var latLng;
$.each(res.responseText,function(i, item) {
latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(item.Lat, item.Lng);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map
});
});
map.setCenter(latLng);
}
});
}
I am using the Url.Action method to generate the correct relative url to the action method as my script was inside a razor code block. If you are using this code in an external javascript file, follow the solution described in this post to handle that case
