Open map of place where picture was taken

[nicolas-raoul]

I often want to check on Google Maps what is the exact name of a building, or find out what is that thing in the background, or determine whether I was technically in North-Kilda or South-Kilda.
This could be another button in the description screen, but actually I often need it in the categories screen, when two proximity categories appear and I need to choose the right one.
It should open the default map app.

Sounds good to me! Where do you think the button could be in the categories screen?

[nicolas-raoul]

Hard question!
To help us think, here are the description and categories screens:

A map icon in the title bar would be relatively easy to implement and consistent (same position in the two screens) but it would make it even less obvious than now what is the next step (I am sure some people already don't realize you have to press the floppy icon).

[misaochan]

Yeah, I would be very much against having it in the action bar.

Perhaps on the left side of the text field? But it wouldn't be very intuitive for users I think, they might wonder what a map icon is doing there and what it has to do with categories...

[nicolas-raoul]

Putting it only at least on the description screen (where it is the most useful) could be a good first start, until we get a good idea for the categories screen.

Sound like a good idea. I will like to work on this feature.

@tanvidadu It's yours! Please submit a mockup early so that we can give feedback before you are too far into development already, thanks! :-)

This is the mockup of layout with icon to open map.
I was thinking of using the coordinates already present in the imageObj in the shareActivity to get the latitude and longitude and then open the map at that specific location.
@nicolas-raoul @misaochan what are your opinion?

I am not sure about showing icon next to description @tanvidadu

[tanvidadu]

I can change its location to toolbar next to arrow icon which will be visible only when user starts typing in Description/Title EditText ?
This way it would be intuitive for user to know that map icon has something to do with description/title.

[nicolas-raoul]

Personally I would put a "Show location on map" button at the bottom, after the license. Everything above is user input. Better not add an icon near the arrow icon, it would make it even less visible.

@nicolas-raoul this is screenshot of fragment_single_upload with the button

with zoom being added in #1300 I was thinking of adding map as one of floating button inside nested FAB like https://github.com/futuresimple/android-floating-action-button/issues/22.

@nicolas-raoul @misaochan @neslihanturan please let me know your opinion.

[nicolas-raoul]

To me it looks like the best available solution, thanks! :-)
