Android Integrating google map with application

In this tutorial i will explain step by step about integrating google map with android app

1. Create a new android project with default settings.
2. Import “google-play-services_lib”.
1. Select File-->Import
2. Select Android-->Existing Android Code into Workspace
3. Browse and select <bundle root>\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject
4. Select “google-play-services_lib” and finish.
   3) Install google play services.
1. Open sdk manager
2. Select google play services and install.

4.Add the google play services library to your project.

A.Right-click on your project and select properties.

B.Select the library, and press OK.

5.Find your SHA1.

1. Open command prompt and go to your jdk/bin folder. Such as: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin
• Start-->run, cmd
• cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin
2. find your debug.keystore path by checking windows-->preferences-->android-->build

C.Run the following command to get your sha1: keytool -v -list -keystore "<debug.keystore path>" and press “enter” when a password asked.

6.Get the key for android apps.

1. You need to have a gmail account.
2. Create Google APIs project from https://code.google.com/apis/console adress.

C . From services, Turn “Google Maps Android API v2” to ON.

D.  From API Access, create new Android Key.

E . Paste SHA1 and your package name <SHA1>;<package name> for example at my case it is (3C:64:03:7B:0E:F7:E5:71:0D:10:9D:62:4C:03:8C:F2:4E:AD:B8:94;info.tekguc.umut.googlemapsmapsandroidv2)

7.Modify AndroidManifest.xml

1. Double-click on androidmanifest.xml

B.Add necessary permissions and glEs feature to androidmanifest.xml

1.  <permission
           android:name="com.example.androidmapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
           android:protectionLevel="signature"></permission>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="com.example.androidmapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
       <uses-feature
           android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
           android:required="true"/>

   C .Create metadata for map api in application

2. <meta-data  android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
   android:value="AIzaSyDciL7-T3BphxGv2q-A77vNrcyJQ_sTrgI"/>

   D.       Your final androidmanifest.xml file will lool like as follows:

3.  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       package="info.tekguc.umut.googlemapsmapsandroidv2"
       android:versionCode="1"
       android:versionName="1.0" >
       <uses-sdk
           android:minSdkVersion="14"
           android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
           <permission
           android:name="com.example.androidmapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
           android:protectionLevel="signature"></permission>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="com.example.androidmapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
       <uses-permission
           android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
       
       <uses-feature
           android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
           android:required="true"/>
       
       <application
           android:allowBackup="true"
           android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
           android:label="@string/app_name"
           android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
             <meta-data
               android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
               android:value="AIzaSyDciL7-T3BphxGv2q-A77vNrcyJQ_sTrgI"/>
           <activity
               android:name="info.tekguc.umut.googlemapsmapsandroidv2.MainActivity"
               android:label="@string/app_name" >
               <intent-filter>
                   <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
   
                   <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
               </intent-filter>
           </activity>
       </application>
   
   </manifest>

   8 Modify activity_main.xml

1. Double click on activity_main.xml

1. Add to map fragment
   

    <fragment
     android:id="@+id/map"        
     android:layout_width="match_parent"        
     android:layout_height="match_parent"        
     class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

2. Your final activity_main.xml file will lool like as follows:
   

    <RelativeLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"    
   android:layout_width="match_parent"    
   android:layout_height="match_parent"    
   android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"    
   android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"    
   android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"    
   android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"    
   tools:context=".MainActivity" >
   <TextView        
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"        
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
   android:text="@string/hello_world" />
   <fragment
           android:id="@+id/map"     
           android:layout_width="match_parent"        
           android:layout_height="match_parent"        
   class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>
   </RelativeLayout>

   9 Modify MainActivity.Java

   package com.nisdroid; 
   import android.os.Bundle; 
   import android.app.Activity; 
   import android.view.Menu; 
   import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap; 
   import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment; 
   import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng; 
   import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker; 
   import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions; 
   public class MainActivity extends Activity {     
   private GoogleMap mMap;         
   @Override     
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         
   setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);             
   mMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();         
   mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);         
   final LatLng CIU = new LatLng(35.21843892856462, 33.41662287712097);         
   Marker ciu = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()                                   
   .position(CIU).title("My Office"));     
   }     
   @Override     
   public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {         
   // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.         
   getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);         
   return true;     } }
