Samples demonstrating how to use Maps SDK for Android.
This repo contains the following samples:
- ApiDemos: A collection of small demos showing most features of the Maps SDK for Android.
- WearOS: Displays a map on a Wear OS device. This sample demonstrates the basic setup required for a gradle-based Android Studio project.
- Tutorials: Samples associated with tutorials in the developer's guide. See each sample for a link to the associated guide.
See each sample for pre-requisites. All require up-to-date versions of the Android build tools and the Android support repository.
These samples use the Gradle build system.
First download the samples by cloning this repository or downloading an archived snapshot. (See the options at the top of the page.)
In Android Studio, use the "Import non-Android Studio project" or "Import Project" option. Next select one of the sample directories that you downloaded from this repository. If prompted for a gradle configuration accept the default settings.
Alternatively use the gradlew build
command to build the project directly.
The demo apps require that you add your own Google Maps API key:
- Get a Maps API key
- Create a file in the root directory called
secure.properties
(this file should NOT be under version control to protect your API key) - Add a single line to
secure.properties
that looks likeMAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
, whereYOUR_API_KEY
is the API key you obtained in the first step - Build and run
