#P1 Using Google Map in your Application

Pre-requisites :
a. ADT is already installed (Reference : Installation of Android Development Tools (ADT))
b. Google map key (Reference : How to generate google map key.html)
c. Google API (Install Google API if not already installed)
    (Google API = map api + android api)
Use Eclipse to install Google API as shown below

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project Structure :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Setting Emulator for Google Map Application :

- Select Target : "Google API" as shown below 

(In the Target, Google API option is available after installing Google API using Android SDK Manager in Eclipse) 

Steps to create Map based application :

1) Create Activity which extends MapActivity

package com.namasteandroid.mapapp;

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;

import com.google.android.maps.MapView;

public class MyMapsActivity extends MapActivity {

    @Override

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        String mapKey = "0CJatumMJbC7I_ZPfoi5gQWZffw"; //Replace this key with yours 

        MapView mapView = new MapView(this, mapKey);

        mapView.setEnabled(true);

        mapView.setClickable(true);

        mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

        setContentView(mapView);

    }

@Override

protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {

return false;

}

}

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Modify Manifest (/res/AndrodManifest.xml) add below lines highlighted in orange

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    package="com.namasteandroid.mapapp"

    android:versionCode="1"

    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />

    <application

        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"

        android:label="@string/app_name" >

        <activity

            android:name=".MyMapsActivity"

            android:label="@string/app_name" >

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            </intent-filter>

        </activity>

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

    </application>

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

</manifest>
