A small library to add Google static maps to your Android app

Android StaticMaps and other location widgets

A simple library to easily add Google static maps to your app.

Features

• provides a UI widget to automatically determine map size and scale based which can be incorporated into an XML layout
• generates map URL and pulls the API key from the application's manifest
• also contains a LocationButton widget which can display a current/saved location and toggle between them interactively

Using

To use, add this project as an Android library project and then add this to the <application /> section of your manifest:

<meta-data
    android:name="edu.mit.mobile.android.maps.GOOGLE_STATIC_MAPS_API_KEY"
    android:value="AAeeSUeOKuhEuEu3eu43E2ue#jueEEuuU3hwm0" />

You can then either use the GoogleStaticMapView and register an OnMapUpdateListener to get automatic map size updates, or you can directly use the GoogleStaticMap class to generate the URL.

If you use the GoogleStaticMapView widget, we recommend using our ImageCache library to make it easier to asynchronously load / cache rendered maps.
