Mgmaps SDK on Android

The docs are just not updated yet, we added Android support quite recently. To get started, download latest library Android package and take a look to the sample application.

For Android we have MapView object, which is similar like you use with Google Maps, and you can use it in your screens similar way. You can even use same Android built-in zoom controls. However, specific map creation parameters and methods (overlays etc) are different; and are generally much more powerful. So porting real application from Google to OSM maps takes some effort. Depends really how complex is your on-map functionality.

Most of Nutiteq mobile mapping Java API is not platform-specific, so it is same as with J2ME and BlackBerry. Therefore the same JavaDocs apply, except methods which are dealing with platform communication: graphics is most important, you may need to deal also with file system. Some of these "platform connectors" seem to have no point to be ported, e.g. we do not plan to have Bluetooth serial GPS connection for Android. So linking to specific application environment needs some tricks, mainly to handle properly the graphics.

Right now, take a look to the Android sample app, hopefully soon also Developer Guide doc will be updated with Android chapter.

Thanks. But the latest android package seems to be corrupt. I've downloaded it many times but the zip file has an error

Thanks Jaak,
The sample works on the emulator. But i get an error when i install it on my phone [Network error]. Is it a license issue? In Android, what corresponds to MidletName and VendorName...?

Thanks

Greetings,

If i want to use the navteq maptp in setmap i need the maptp key.

Someone knows a try or test key? otherwise, the way to obtain one which works?

Best regards

Please, I've used this libs in an ANDROID TATOO mobil. Most of the time it goes ok but sometimes, during launching the app or dragging the map fast it show the 'Force to Close' dialog. Even, when I click this 'Force to Close' button the screen stay black until I click Pause Button.
It seems like wen you close the app, some process never die. This process sometime affect the end of the current app or the next time we init the app.
I am using the code you provide in pdf.

What sort of listener from the API could I use for capture errors and avoid this? . Even I am using your code in onDestroy for kill process.

Exist any other stronger code for force to release memory?

We are considering purchase the product but we want to be sure we cann control this kind of strange effect.

Thanks in advance

First of all thanks for your help and I encourage you to continue with this great and difficult job

As I said this happend once a while.

The mesagges from LogCat is just the one you said.
(java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget) and Android launch it just when it's loading the bitmaps.
Prior to that error, LogCat launch this error: (262144-Byte external allocation too large for this process. VM won't let us allocate 262144 bytes)
But just prior to the lines of error in red color LogCat show a orange message saying:
(thread exiting with uncaught exception)
Because of this message I doubt if I missed a kind of listener in your libs that could catch that exception.

One more question about this: when I am using jared maps, do you recommend me implement MemoryCache, cache in files on SDCARD and set networkCahe operations?

I doubt if this funcionalities become worse for the Android's problem with memory.

Thanks in advance for your valuable help.
