Tile is a free map library using Open street map tiles.

OSM Android

OSM Android is a free Android map library using OpenStreetMap tiles.

Features

• Works offline, tiles are cached in a local SQLite database
• Add/remove Overlays
  • markers
  • tracks
  • polygons

Requirements

OSM-Android works with API 21 and up. It runs using a gradle script version 6.5.

Getting started

After you download the project, you may import into Android Studio the library using either the source code or the .aar file provided.

For .aar:

• Click File > New > New Module.
• Select the option "Import .JAR/.AAR Package", then click Next.
• Select osm_android.aar in the root level of osm-android.

For the full library, if you wish to have the source code as well:

• Click File > New > Import Module.
• Select the library folder in the root level of osm-android.

Then, be sure in your projects root gradle file to add the following:

implementation project(":[library module name]")

Also verify your settings.gradle has the following

include ':app', ':[library module name]'

For more info, see the google developer docs on importing libraries.

Using OSM Android

Manifest

In most cases, you will have to set the following authorizations in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

You can adjust the permissions accordingly, depending on what is used.

Map initialization

In your Activity class, add the following:

private OsmMapView mapView;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

  OsmMapView.OsmMapViewConfig mapConfig = new OsmMapView.OsmMapViewConfig();
  mapConfig.setIsNetworkRequestAllowed(true);
  mapView = new OsmMapView(getApplicationContext(), mapConfig, this);

  ViewGroup mapLayout = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.mapLayout);
  RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
				ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
				ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
  mapLayout.addView(mapView, layoutParams);

  mapView.setCenter(37.7793, -122.4192);
  mapView.setZoom(12); 
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    mapView.clear();
    super.onDestroy();
}

Map Overlays

How to add the position indicator

OsmMapViewConfig mapConfig = new OsmMapViewConfig();
mapConfig.setPositionIndicatorDrawableId(R.drawable.blue_position_indicator);
OsmLocationOverlay overlay = new OsmLocationOverlay(getApplicationContext(), mapConfig, mapView);
mapView.addOverlay(overlay);

How to add a marker

Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.marker);
OsmMarkerOverlay markerOverlay = new OsmMarkerOverlay(mapView, drawable);
MapMarker marker = new MapMarker();
marker.setCoordinate(new GeoPoint(37.792260, -122.403490));
markerOverlay.addMarker(marker);
mapView.addOverlay(markerOverlay);

How to add a track

OsmTrackOverlay trackOverlay = new OsmTrackOverlay(mapView);
MapTrack mapTrack = new MapTrack();

// Define track color, shape, width, etc...
Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
paint.setDither(true);
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
paint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
paint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
paint.setStrokeWidth(8);
mapTrack.setPaint(paint);

// Add track coordinates
List<GeoPoint> geoPoints = new ArrayList<GeoPoint>();
geoPoints.add(new GeoPoint(37.792260, -122.403490));
geoPoints.add(new GeoPoint(41.888650, -87.627460));

mapTrack.setTrack(geoPoints); 
trackOverlay.addTrack(mapTrack);
mapView.addOverlay(trackOverlay);

How to add a polygon

OsmPolygonOverlay overlay = new OsmPolygonOverlay(mapView);
MapPolygon mapPolygon = new MapPolygon();

// Set polygon border
Paint paintStroke = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
paintStroke.setColor(Color.RED);
paintStroke.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
paintStroke.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
paintStroke.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
paintStroke.setStrokeWidth(7);

// Fill polygon with slightly transparent red color
Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
paint.setAlpha(50);

mapPolygon.setPaint(paint);
mapPolygon.setPaintStroke(paintStroke);

// Add polygon coordinates
List<GeoPoint> geoPoints = new ArrayList<>();
geoPoints.add(new GeoPoint(25.774, -80.19));
geoPoints.add(new GeoPoint(18.466, -66.118));
geoPoints.add(new GeoPoint(32.321, -64.757 ));
mapPolygon.setPolygon(geoPoints);

overlay.addPolygon(mapPolygon);
mapView.addOverlay(overlay);
