* [android] - MyLocationView should facing above when location and compass bearing tracking are enabled. (#6829) * [android] - use current animated rotation value for calculating animated marker rotation difference (#6826) fix unit tests, input limiting is not handled by animateRotationBy instead of MarkerView. Changed test to validate if method was called with correct value. * [android] - only calculated offset margins for InfoWindow if View is found in current viewport, added example to the test app to test for regressions (#6877) * upgraded okhttp dependency to latest version (#6880) * Cancelable callback invocation (#6891) * [android] - allow onCancel to be invoked from camera cancel callbacks * set to null after finish * [android] - using bearing clockwise versus counterclockwise (#6917) * [android] - using bearing clockwise versus counterclockwise * fixup brackets * [android] - convert bearing values from core to Android SDK equivalent.
Mapbox Android SDK
A library based on Mapbox GL Native for embedding interactive map views with scalable, customizable vector maps into Java applications on Android devices.
To install and use the Mapbox Android SDK in an application, see the Mapbox Android SDK website.
Contributing to the SDK
These instructions are for developers interested in making code-level contributions to the SDK itself. If you instead want to use the SDK in your app, see above.
Building the SDK yourself requires a number of dependencies and steps that are unnecessary for developing production applications.
Setting up the Android emulator
The Mapbox Android SDK requires Android 4.0.3+ (API level 15+).
If you want to run the test app in the emulator, we recommend the x86 build because it will run a lot faster.
First ensure you have an MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable set, as described below. Then, create an x86 build:
make android-lib-x86
In Android Studio, create an x86 AVD (Android Virtual Device):
- Open AVD Manager via the Tools menu -> Android -> AVD Manager
- Click "Create Virtual Device" at the bottom on AVD Manager window
- Select one of the device profiles, for example the Nexus 4
- Click "Next"
- Select a Lollipop or Kitkat release with ABI of x86. If the line is greyed out click Download to download the OS files.
- Click "Next"
- Under "Emulated Performance" check "Host GPU" and uncheck "Store a snapshot for faster startup"
- Click "Finish"
- Close the AVD Manager
Now when you run or debug the Android project you will see a window "Choose Device". Select your new AVD from drop down under "Launch emulator". If you select "Use same device for future launches" Android Studio will remember the selection and not ask again.
Running Mapbox GL Native on a hardware Android device
The Mapbox Android SDK requires Android 4.0.3+ (API level 15+).
First read the Google documentation to set up your device and your OS to connect to the device.
When you plug your device in and then run or debug the Android project you will see a window "Choose Device". Choose your device from the "Choose a running device" list.
If your device does not show up, double check the Google documentation.
