I started developing an app for which I am using HERE maps API.
Can someone tell me how to achieve map rotation during navigation?
Also how can a compass be integrated with the map accurately?
Also please how can I download maps for offline navigation, for users who don't have internet all the time?
Also please tell whether these features can be implemented with the standard HERE SDK?
Can someone tell me how to achieve map rotation during navigation?
Please use the road view APIs in NavigationManager. Alternatively, you can animate the map yourself using the NavigationManager#Listener interface callbacks
Also how can a compass be integrated with the map accurately.
Please google for some generic tutorials on Android sensor API integration. Once you get the bearing, you can set it with Map#setOrientation.
Also please how can i download maps for offline navigation, for users who don't have internet all the time.
Please see com.here.android.mpa.MapLoader. There is a section in our tutorials.
Also please tell whether these features can be implemented with the standard HERE sdk?
This is all supported with the "Premium" version of the SDK. The "Starter" edition does not have all these cool features.

I'm a beginner in an android development so I need help.
I'm working on android application which let user input locations on a map and the application make a routing to these locations based on the traffic and which location is close to another. This application aims to reduce the time of driving. I don't know what are the APIs I need. Can someone help me?
Use Google maps api.
Refer these,

I want to add a feature to the android navigation system, such that I can track my friend's
android device as well as mine, simultaneously in real time on the google navigation map.
Is there any google navigation api available to do so or should I work at the source code level?
If it is the latter, where can I get the source code?
Thanks,
Yashoteja
I don't think there is anything like an API in the Google Navigation.
But what you can do is to use the Maps API in your application and then display the position or your device and your friends.
You will need to take care of getting the data from your friends GPS all the way to your device... that's probably where most of your work is.
The source code you will need to work on is your own application's.
I want to develop an android mapping aplication that enables users to navigate in the map:
my problem with using google maps API is that the area that I want to map is not detailed and I want to use the maps prvided by other server that has the map I want, or better if I could do it offline(the map is local and not from a server)
what are the best and easiest mapping API that are free licened, enable offline mapping, or enable using other server or OSM????
I found many API but these features I don't if they are supported, and I dont know what is the best(e.g mapquest api, decarta api, nutiteq api)
any help any opinion will be nice,
and thanks in advance.
You can use some of these libraries: osmdroid, mapsforge. Both of them provides interface to some internet map databases and allows to create your own maps provider.
They allows you to have (and handle) your offline cache, dynamic asynchronous maps loading, resampling on zoom, adding overlays and so on, like original MapView does.
Another good point of using these libraries is that they are well-designed for in-place substitution of google MapView.
Both of them are LGPL (you can use them in you commercial apps) and provide interface for OpenStreetMap out-of-the-box.
i want to use data from google maps, especialy the navigation functionality. Is this possible by plugin or wrapping the application?
I want to develop my own navigation service and use GoogleMaps for this.
There are a number of samples available all over the internet which build on top of mapview. Its not a plugin architecture but based on containment model. I think you can easily achieve what you want to do.
You can embed the MapView widget into your application for displaying a map. You cannot use this for some navigation services per the terms of service.
There are no plugins for the standard Google Maps application for Android.
