  • Android Working with Google Maps Get a Google Maps API
    Android Working with Google Maps The Google Maps API for Android provides developers with the means to create apps with localization functionality. Version 2 of the Maps API was released at the end of 2012 and it introduced a range of new features including 3D, improved caching, and vector tiles. Step 1 Google Maps Android API V2 is part of Google’s Play services SDK, which you must download and configure to work with your existing Android SDK installation in Eclipse to use the mapping functions. In Eclipse, choose Window > Android SDK Manager. In the list of packages that appears scroll down to the Extrasfolder and expand it. Select the Google Play services checkbox and install the package. Step 2 Once Eclipse downloads and installs the Google Play services package, you can import it into your workspace. Select File > Import > Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace then browse to the location of the downloaded Google Play services package on your computer. It should be inside your downloaded Android SDK directory, at the following location:extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib. Get a Google Maps API Key Step 1 To access the Google Maps tools, you need an API key, which you can obtain through a Google account. The key is based on your Android app debug or release certificate. If you have released apps before, you might have used the keytool resource to sign them. In that case, you can use the keystore you generated at that time to get your API key. Otherwise you can use the debug keystore, which Eclipse uses automatically when you generate your apps during development.
