Here is an example xml layout to get you started on your way to mapping glory:

<com.google.android.maps.MapView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:apiKey="||API KEY||"/>

3. Create a map based android project.

1. Eclipse > New Project > Android Project > Select Google Map 1.5

4. Place MapView in the layout

5. Create a class extends the MapActivity class

public class MainActivity extends MapActivity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

}

@Override

protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return false;

}

}

5. Create a GeoPoint, MapView and MapController instance.

double latitude = 10.47, longitude = 79.10;

GeoPoint geoPoint = new GeoPoint((int) (latitude * 1000000),

(int) (longitude * 1000000));

MapView myMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.myGMap);

myMapView.setSatellite(false);

myMapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

myMapView.displayZoomControls(true);

MapController myMC = = myMapView.getController();

myMC.setCenter(geoPoint);

myMC.setZoom(15);

Need to Add the User Permission

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