Here is an example xml layout to get you started on your way to mapping glory:


<com.google.android.maps.MapView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:apiKey="||API KEY||"/>




3. Create a map based android project.


1. Eclipse > New Project > Android Project > Select Google Map 1.5




4. Place MapView in the layout


  1. Create a class extends the MapActivity class

public class MainActivity extends MapActivity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

}


@Override

protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return false;

}

}



  1. Create a GeoPoint, MapView and MapController instance.


double latitude = 10.47, longitude = 79.10;

GeoPoint geoPoint = new GeoPoint((int) (latitude * 1000000),

(int) (longitude * 1000000));


MapView myMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.myGMap);

myMapView.setSatellite(false);

myMapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

myMapView.displayZoomControls(true);


MapController myMC = = myMapView.getController();

myMC.setCenter(geoPoint);

myMC.setZoom(15);



Need to Add the User Permission


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


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


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



Need to Add the lib


<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

.......

</application>


Hope this is helpful for you
