Google Maps SDK for Android Samples
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.
Pre-requisites
See each sample for pre-requisites.
All require an uptodate version of the Android build tools and the Android support repository.
Getting Started
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.
Search for YOUR_API_KEY in the project and replace it with your API key.
Some samples store this in the gradle.properties file and others store it in the google_maps_api.xml file.
See the Get Started with Google Maps Platform
guide to get an API key.
